HOBOKEN – Police were tight-lipped on Monday morning regarding a possible incident at the Sky Club Fitness Center on Friday night, saying that the investigation was ongoing and they were not yet authorized to speak to the press.
Sky Club is a fitness center complete with an Olympic-sized pool that is also attached to a luxury high rise on First and Harrison Streets.
Reports from local residents said that police activity began around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday and continued through the night.
According to a promotional poster, a party thrown by local promoters Tony Royalfam and Jay ATM called “Drinkin’ and Divin’” was set to take place at the club that night. The poster advertises the pool, a balcony overlooking the Manhattan skyline, and an evening-long open bar and free food. Tickets apparently cost $40.
Throughout the weekend, Hoboken residents speculated online about what occurred at the party.
But Royalfam, reached by phone on Monday, said that he was unaware of any major incidents, calling the incident “a little commotion that was handled really quickly.”
Royalfam also said that nobody was arrested.
A post on the business’s Facebook page said, “We are awaiting the arrival of the fire and building departments for the re-inspection of the club. We will update our re-opening status as soon as the inspection is completed.”
A phone call to the fitness club went straight to voicemail on Monday.
