27monster27 13,464 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I felt inspired to make this thread from the one about Madonna and David Guetta, and why she was mostly absent in 2010/2011 from the music scene. One of the major business ventures she did during that time was "Hard Candy Fitness", which was a fitness chain named after Hard Candy. Unfortunately, stores have mostly either closed down or rebranded since 2016. There were none in the United States. The most notable ones were in Canada, Germany, and Chile. he/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dit 46,518 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 i'd also like to know about this. it always is a bad idea imo for an artist to be too heavily used for the promotion of a business venture. The fact that the gyms had posters of Madonna on the walls etc...is absolutely a bad marketing decision imo. Unless your a hardcore Madonna fan there is no reason why you'd sign up to a gym, work out and have Madonna's face right in front of you judging your squat lol. It just was a bad marketing idea which ultimately cost the business big time it seems. But yeah i am so curious to know if anyone ever went there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoresup 2,889 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Yeah I just read that a few are still open as normal but some others have now closed. Maybe they just weren’t successful in those territories. I want to know why Truth or Dare (the fragrance) is no longer on sale?! I thought it was very successful?

Pretty sure Truth or Dare was a flop, or at least that's what other Madonna fans seem to think. I love the fragrance tho. It's my favorite celeb perfume. Hopefully Madame X will be good too.

Blake 7,385 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Sydney used to have one, but then it changed to Virgin Active, now it's Crunch Fitness. But I believe there are some aspects of Hard Candy still inside. 50 minutes ago, Aussie said: Sydney also had a Hard Candy until just recently Recently? Sis it went away in 2016.
