Gym Update

So, where are we? Unfortunately, a few issues are conspiring to delay our move to the first floor gym – so we thought we’d let you know of the main outstanding issues:


A recent visit from the NHBC flagged up several areas where the build does not comply to Disabled Access Regulations – in particular the layout of the changing area and the need for shower facilities in the disabled persons toilet area in addition to those in the main changing areas. This will require changes to the layout. The NHBC has also asked for longer vision panels to be installed in the internal doors to allow wheelchair uses to see through them.


We are still waiting on decisions on the flooring solutions for the gym and comparison costings.


We are also waiting for service installation for gas, sewerage and electricity to the new gym.


The lift shaft is ready to be installed and is just being put back until other works have been completed – we are hopeful that this can be done during April.


As you are well aware, we have capacity issues on the existing gym and we are keen to get to the new gym as soon as possible.


We will keep you updated.
