A WOMEN-ONLY gym in Helensburgh has been put up for sale.

Joanne Doherty, the owner of Curves on East King Street, is looking for a buyer – and one user has raised fears that the facility could be closed.

One concerned gym user contacted the Advertiser and said: “Helensburgh is going to be quite hard hit once the gym closes because a lot of retired people go.

“It’s not me I’m worried about but it’s people living in their own. It’s definitely important for them because they can socialise and keep fit.”

Ms Doherty confirmed the gym was up for sale but said she did not know if or when it would close.

The fitness club features 30-minute work outs designed for women of all abilities.
