Southern Center/Reported by Su Shengwei and Deng Shantian from Kaohsiung
A well-known sports cram school in Kaohsiung was reported to have closed down without warning on January 26 last month. Not only was it owed two months’ salary to its employees, but it also continued to launch discounts before the closure. Many parents were deceived into paying large sums in advance and suffered. The target has been extended to Kaohsiung, Tainan. Employees revealed that the operators owe at least tens of millions of dollars, and the gyms operated by the operators are now locked, and unsuspecting members have also lost their money.
The boss ran away!Kaohsiung gym closes down without warning
Unsuspecting members came to the gym to exercise on weekend afternoons, but were shocked to find that the iron door was locked. Only then did they realize that the owner had fled a few days ago and closed down without warning.
Uninformed member: “I didn’t find out until I came today because I come here to work out, about two to three times a week.”
It was pitch dark inside, and the equipment had been seized by creditors and could not be moved. This gym in Nanzi, Kaohsiung, was suddenly reported to have closed down on the 26th of last month (January). However, as early as the 20th, it was reported that the owner surnamed Wang was in arrears. The employees’ salary last month (December) cannot be paid.
Gym instructor MAX: “Because there have been salary arrears before, employees thought that this might be a problem with the company’s turnover, and there should be no problem, so they just continued, including me, to continue to perform the business tasks assigned to us by the company. But starting from noon on January 26, I couldn’t contact anyone at all.”
Gym owner surnamed Wang: “Start a business and open a gym. In addition to fitness courses, there are also some courses that can be taught, maybe like basketball for children.”

An entrepreneur surnamed Wang talked about his entrepreneurial idea on a TV show. However, there have been cases of salary arrears in the past, but they were paid smoothly after a few days. The employees thought it would be the same this time, but unexpectedly, with a notice, the boss disappeared from the world. Only then did I learn that he owed tens of millions of dollars in debt, and not only his employees were harmed, but the gym also ran sports tuition classes for students, and the scope of the damage extended to Tainan and Kaohsiung.
Ms. Zuo, the parent of the victim: “I just wanted to say that there was a contract signing, and then I felt very relieved, so I bought so many classes at one time.”
Ms. Zuo rented a campus venue and sent a coach to teach basketball. She felt that she was guaranteed by the contract. She spent nearly 20,000 yuan at the end of December and signed up for 24 classes in one go. Now she is afraid that the money will not be returned. The business owner knew that there was a financial problem and even discounted it. Many parents have suffered as a result.

Ms. Zuo, the parent of the victim: “At that time, there was a plan. If you bought more than 6,000 yuan, you could send it to winter camp. Many parents signed up because of this.”
Gym coach MAX: “Mr. Wang’s behavior is taking advantage of or wasting the mutual trust between the coach, parents and children.”
There was no response when calling the business owner named Wang. The injured employees and their parents hoped that the business owner named Wang would come forward to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible.
