The bad news for SportsQuest continues to roll in.

Its fitness center is closed, at least temporarily, after being evicted from its facility in an industrial park near the 250-acre campus in western Chesterfield County, and the lawyer representing a contractor with unpaid bills for work on lighting and a concession stand said he's moving forward with a lawsuit to try to recoup the money his client is owed.

"It's been a challenging year," said Steve Burton, the founder and chief executive of SportsQuest. "I look forward to better days."

Those days are not coming this week. By Tuesday morning, SportsQuest had been locked out of its fitness facility, and a new home might not be up and running for a week or more.

Burton said the move was planned and that he had identified a new site, but he declined to name it on Tuesday. He said he wanted to thank his members for their patience, and he promised that a new center would open soon.

Neal Carns, the landlord of the SportsQuest fitness center at 2240 Oak Lake Blvd., said SportsQuest was significantly in arrears on their rent, but he wouldn't say how much. He said that after months of trying to work out something, he terminated their access.

"You can only work with somebody for so long," he said, "and that time ran out."

In an unrelated development Friday, the lawyer for Farmville Excavating filed an amended mechanic's lien in response to a SportsQuest announcement that it was trying to sell its business a piece at a time.
