Over the last 10 years (since April 2015):
• How many complaints have been made to this authority against gyms?

• What was the nature of these complaints?
• What action was taken by the enforcement authority?
• How many formal notices were issued (enforcement, prohibition, etc)?
• How many gyms were fined? • What was the value of each fine?
• Was there any further legal action taken and if so, how many instances and what was the outcome?
• How many Fire Authority visits to gyms have been made to check Fire Safety?
• What was the outcome of each of these visits?
Response
LFB would only receive "complaints" from members of the public concerning fire safety risks in gyms. Our Fire Safety Regulatory system does not have property type specifically for "gyms" so we do not hold the information you have requested.
However, we have looked at how many public buildings have had fire safety enforcement action taken in the last 10 years and checked those instances to see if there is any information on file to identify the building as a gym.
Between 01 April 2015 and 11 June 2025, four Enforcement Notices were issued to public buildings by LFB. None of these buildings appeared to be gyms.
