A Bok Towers gym in Queens was closed Tuesday after a fire gutted a neighboring building and caused damage to the exterior.
The Bok Fitness gym on West 59th Street was evacuated, the gym’s Facebook page said, and the gym was being treated for smoke inhalation.
A video posted by the Bok gym posted to the gym said the gym had been closed Tuesday evening after it was evacuated because of smoke inhalations and a building collapse.
The video showed smoke coming out of a room in the gym.
Bok Fitness posted on Facebook that it was closing for repairs after the fire broke out.
The gym, which had been in operation since 2012, had about 100 members and 50 customers.
“The gym is now closed, as are the facilities,” the gym wrote on its Facebook page.
“We are working with the city on a solution.
We are offering to pay our bills on time.”
The gym also posted that a third building was also damaged in the fire.
