Gym tycoon dies in plane crash

THE founder and chief executive of the RSG Group of gym outlets, Rainer Schaller, has been confirmed dead after a plane crash off Costa Rica late last month, the company said.

The plane, a nine-seat Italianmade Piaggio P180 Avanti, disappeared from radar just off the Central American country’s Caribbean coast on October 21.

RSG Group, whose outlets include Gold’s Gym and McFit, confirmed shortly afterwards that Mr Schaller, family and friends had been on board.
