根据CNBC查看的法庭文件，Planet Fitness在破产法庭中失去了收购低成本健身连锁Blink Holdings的买盘。
Planet Fitness placed its competing eleventh hour bids early this month during a 48-hour challenge window. The two higher bids came after it lost out in bankruptcy auction to U.K.-based, privately held fitness chain PureGym.
planet fitness在本月初的48小时挑战窗口期间提出了竞争性的最后时刻竞标。在失去破产拍卖给总部位于英国的私人持有健身连锁PureGym之后，出现了两笔更高的竞标。
Late Tuesday, Delaware's bankruptcy court formally accepted PureGym's $121 million offer, which initially won at auction in late October.
周二晚些时候，特拉华州破产法庭正式接受了PureGym的12100万美元报价，该报价在10月底的拍卖中首次获胜。
J. Kate Stickles, bankruptcy judge in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of Delaware, said in Tuesday's hearing that PureGym's offer would avoid antitrust risks. The company only operates three locations in the U.S., which it first entered in 2021.
美国特拉华州破产法庭的破产法官J. Kate Stickles在周二的听证会上表示，PureGym的报价将避免反垄断风险。该公司在美国仅经营三个地点，最早于2021年进入美国市场。
PureGym's offer, assuming Blink's liabilities, also comes with 60 of Blink's fitness centers still operating in New York and New Jersey.
PureGym的报价，假设承担Blink的债务，还包括在纽约和新泽西仍在运营的60家Blink健身中心。
"PureGym is committed to ensuring continuity of service for Blink's members in New York and New Jersey by maintaining the high-quality fitness experience that Blink members have come to expect," said PureGym CEO Humphrey Cobbold when the company initially made the bid in September.
“PureGym致力于确保纽约和新泽西的Blink会员服务的连续性，维护Blink会员所期望的高质量健身体验，”PureGym首席执行官Humphrey Cobbold在公司于九月份首次提出买盘时表示。
"The American fitness market is the largest and most dynamic in the world. We are incredibly excited by the scale of opportunity and the chance to tailor and apply our proven model there," he said.
“美国健身市场是世界上最大、最具活力的市场。我们为机遇规模和应用我们的成功模式的可能性感到非常兴奋，”他说。
Planet Fitness' initial bid was rejected in part because of antitrust concerns, as the roughly $6.8 billion company already owns more than 2,000 club in the U.S., sources familiar with the matter told CNBC.
Planet Fitness的初始买盘因反垄断担忧而被拒绝，因为这家约68亿美元的公司已经在美国拥有超过2000家俱乐部，熟悉此事的消息人士告诉CNBC。
Planet Fitness's offer would have further delayed closing the deal, they added. By accepting PureGym's offer now and avoiding antitrust issues, Stickles said it would allow Blink to continue to operate rather than dissolve as a deal was negotiated in court.
planet fitness的提议将进一步延迟交易的完成，他们补充道。接受PureGym的报价现在并避免反垄断问题，Stickles表示，这将使Blink能够继续运营，而不是像在法庭上进行交易协商时那样解散。
