The 27,000 sqft gym will also offer boxing facilities, a free weights area and 18 squat racks. Personal trainers will be available at the site for people who want one-to-one training.

An opening date for the gym has not yet been confirmed however it is expected to be before the end of the year. Since the billboards were put up, plenty of people across the town have said there are too many gyms in the area. One resident Anna Joyce said: "Another one, there’s more gyms and coffee shops in Crawley than actual shops.

It’s getting boring now." Tina Sciuto said: "We need shops not gyms.".
