1 /5 David Jules: What a shame! How to ruin a decent gym- get someone who knows nothing about gym design to redesign a gym layout. After being closed for 5 days, pure gym Tunbridge wells opens today without any mat area, and having reduced to half the number of benches and free weights areas. Anyone in gym design knows these are the two most populated areas in any gym! Today, squeezed between fancy new machines that very few will use , were half the clientele present trying to do their warm up and stretching exercises and then trying to fight a place on the six free weight benches the gym has decided to keep. Two floors full of expensive large machines though …. Look good , but of little interest to the average Joe or Jill who use this gym. The management need to review their clientele, 95% are not budding body builders and have no interest in these machines, but want good areas that provide the basic need for fitness and flexibility. This gym just made a huge slide downhill in its ability to provide what its customers want.
