RHOC: What’s up with Tamra Judge and CUT Fitness?
By Amanda Cline
Tamra Judge has been trying to find a way to make her huge gym profitable in a time when gyms have been closed for a month.
The former Real Housewives of Orange County star, Tamra Judge, has been selling off bits and pieces of her CUT Fitness gym lately. Tamra hasn’t elaborated on why she is getting rid of machines and other pieces of the gym, but many fans are wondering what’s going on. Back in May, Tamra was selling off random weighted balls and other pieces that she posted on her Instagram, but the posts seem to have been deleted now.
As of six days ago, the gym is back open as California entered into a phase that allowed similar businesses to open. CUT Fitness has always been sort of missing the mark – they are a very small “micro gym” that never seemed to have “real” clients in it, mostly just Tamra and her castmates.
But in order to be within the guidelines, the gym is now focusing on smaller group sizes and classes. In one comment, Tamra and Eddie Judge said they were doing personal training and training for endurance races.
Tamra was selling clothing and “booty bands” back in April while everyone was stuck in their houses as a way to encourage home workouts. They offered some smaller weights for sale at $1 a pound. Now she’s back to selling body bikes for $700 each. It appears that there are at least eight bikes in the gym and they are selling six more – leaving only two bikes? Even if they are focusing on smaller classes and a smaller clientele, it seems like a bad sign to be selling off things at a highly discounted rate.
Tamra and Eddie sold their home right when she announced she was done with the show. Perhaps Tamra will take a bigger interest in the gym now that she isn’t working with Bravo anymore?
The Real Housewives of Orange County will be back later this year.
