In Wellington, Ultima Fitness announced the gym at 12799 West Forest Hill Boulevard will permanently close today. Members, personal training clients and staff members were altered to the closure via email on Wednesday. The Merrell family, owners of Ultima Fitness for 30 years, could not immediately be reached for comment. The gym was known as the occasional workout spot for Bruce Springsteen, who lives part-time in Wellington. A two-week employee said he was blind-sided yesterday by the email and does not know why the club is closing. As of Thursday, the Ultima Fitness Wellington Facebook page was closed. The gym has no affiliation with Ultima Fitness Performance in West Palm Beach. That gym is still open and fully running.
