Fire destroys Melbourne gym



FIRE has gutted a large elite gym in Melbourne’s inner east, leaving a million-dollar damage bill.


The blaze began at the rear of the ESS High Performance gym, in Richmond, just after 4am (AEDT) on Friday and took about two hours to control, the Metropolitan Fire Brigade said.

The gym’s owners have said hundreds of elite athletes – including AFL footballers – used the gym.

More than 50 firefighters in about 20 appliances fought the fire in the brick building.

Damage was contained to the gym, but tram services along Church Street were being disrupted on Friday morning.

What caused the blaze is unclear but it is not thought to be suspicious, the MFB said.
