The home-grown CRU exercise business will close its remaining studio here on Nov 10. The shuttering of CruCycle in Duxton Road will follow closures of its studios in Orchard Road and Los Angeles, and ends plans to expand into Kuala Lumpur, effectively marking the end of CRU's 10-year run.

Details of compensation for customer packages will be addressed in November once CRU finalises its moving-out process, said staff member Lina, who added that clients have been calling expressing concern about being refunded. CRU, which offered activities like spin classes and yoga, had announced plans to close via an Instagram post on Oct 3: "The fitness landscape has evolved tremendously since we opened our doors in 2014 and in all transparency, so have we. After many years of navigating and pushing through market fluctuations, fully dedicating our lives to CRU, we feel it is time we take a step back to begin our own new chapters."
