Overview
- The longtime franchisees, brothers Angel and Willy Banos, sold 23 locations to Dallas-based EōS, shifting regional operations to the national chain.
- EōS told members the transition took effect on Oct. 29 and said there would be no interruption to access at the affected gyms.
- EōS members with qualifying plans can use the newly acquired clubs now, while Gold’s members will gain access to EōS locations at a later date.
- The original Venice Beach gym, opened in 1965 by founder Joe Gold, remains under Gold’s ownership and is not part of the sale.
- EōS, which operates more than 200 gyms nationwide, says Southern California becomes its largest market and targets about 50 locations there by year-end.
