FitLab, Inc. filed in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on 26 October 2026, under case number 26-11681-KBO. Its petition estimates between 1,000 and 5,000 creditors. The financial figures are estimated ranges disclosed in the filing, rather than final totals. Source: Bondoro
Which businesses are involved?
An initial board resolution authorised 24 companies to seek Chapter 11 protection. On 29 October, the court approved joint administration of 30 affiliated cases under FitLab’s lead case. The entities include:
- FitLab, Inc.
- Ragnar Events LLC and Ragnar Holdings, LLC.
- RPM Fitness, Inc.
- Mile High Run Club, LLC.
- Y7 Holdings LLC and related Y7 entities.
- FL Victory LLC, the company behind the Nike Studios locations.
- XPT Life, LLC.
- Yoga Vida, LLC.
- Electric Visual Evolution LLC.
- LifeCORE Fitness, LLC, the company under which Assault Fitness has operated.

The joint administration order is procedural: the companies’ assets and debts remain separate. It should not be read as a merger of all 30 businesses into one bankruptcy estate. The public docket records the order’s entry on 29 October. Source: public docket listing
Who is handling the restructuring?
Nicholas Rubin of Force 10 Advisors was appointed chief restructuring officer and signed FitLab’s petition. The board resolution also names Raines Feldman Littrell as bankruptcy counsel, Hilco Corporate Finance as investment banker, and Stretto as claims and noticing agent.
The resolution authorises Rubin to seek debtor-in-possession financing and permission to use cash collateral, subject to court approval. That authorisation does not itself establish that either request has been approved. Source: Hybrid Fitness Media’s original filing report
Who is owed money?
According to Hybrid Fitness Media’s account of the petition, the consolidated list of the 30 largest non-insider unsecured claims totals approximately $32 million. It covers FitLab and affiliated debtors and is separate from FitLab’s overall estimated liabilities.
The largest listed claim is a $7.09 million convertible note held by Elysian Park Ventures. Break Trail Ventures Fund III holds the second-largest claim, at approximately $3.14 million. Other listed creditors include equipment manufacturers, Google, Facebook/Meta, professional advisers and a landlord.
FitLab indicated that it expects funds to be available for distribution to unsecured creditors, but the filing does not specify how much they might receive. Source: Hybrid Fitness Media
What does this mean for customers and event participants?
The filings establish a restructuring process, but they do not provide a complete business-by-business account of future operations. They cannot, on their own, confirm whether a particular event, membership, equipment order or service will continue.
The position already differs across the portfolio. Fitt Insider reported on 29 October that Mile High Run Club and Y7 had closed their studios, Assault Fitness shipments had stopped, and an outside investment group was funding Ragnar’s scheduled calendar while pursuing an acquisition. Those are reported operational developments, separate from the bankruptcy filing itself. Source: Fitt Insider
Customers and participants should check notices from the specific business involved and distinguish confirmed operating announcements from the broader court proceedings. Neither the Chapter 11 filings nor the joint administration order amounts to an announcement that every FitLab business has closed.
