Noreen Rahman, who assisted the CGCA bid, said: “I’m obviously upset by the outcome but it is a win for the community.
“Last year Jubilee Hall Gym was at risk of closing down but now it’s been guaranteed to stay open as a gym.”
Jon Giles, chief executive officer of Jubilee Hall Trust, said the new arrangement meant the gym would be safeguarded “for many years to come”.
Peter Bundey, chief executive officer at GLL, said: “We will work to put Jubilee Hall back on a level financial footing, while our social enterprise status means that any future financial surpluses will be reinvested back into the inner London communities we serve.”
GLL manages 240 leisure centres, libraries and community services in partnership with local councils and organisations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
