I’d be quite happy going for some exercise after finishing work at “silly o’clock” in the morning. Not everyone works “normal” hours these days.
Remember many years ago when the question “who would want to go shopping on a Sunday?” was asked .
I think perhaps you may have misread what I typed because I didn’t dictate what should or shouldn’t be built. I asked if we need more.
In regards to fat people walk round, please direct that comment to the person who mentioned it in the first place.

JoJO you cant dictate to private investors were they will bud a facility — they will have done a through assessment of the market place and come up with a costed proposal that will have a target of making a profit to reinvest and make money for shareholders.
We cant attract anything new to Wrexham if all of the marketing and demographic data available to businesses does not stick up for a business model. Why invest in an area that does not meet a business profile it would make no sense.
Perhaps instead of defining ‘fat people waking around’ it should have been broader and stated ‘unhealthy’ people in Wrexham as the current data shows we are sitting in a massive time bomb of industrial illness from heavy industries such as coal and steel making starting to present itself with lung problems for the 60/79 year olds and at the other end an almost epidemic issue of children that are obese with resultant Type 2 diabetes developing. Cant see how you can be offended with this broader rational for more gyms (provided they are affordable)I have said before that Wrexham needs more choice. So I do agree with the number of same shops we have dotted around the town.
I couldn’t use a gym if I wanted to. None of the machinery can deal with the issues in my knees without causes further pain and unfortunately I am not in a position financially to pay for a personal trainer.
The idea of an empty unit being used, is great for the town but having the same thing lined up from when end to the other just doesn’t make sense, especially if the council want people to care about Wrexham.

No it doesn’t jojo.
If you want to make the argument of need, it is just as easy to cite charity shops, mobile phone and pound shops. I could argue that we have far too many of those too but that does not prevent their proliferation.
I cannot, for the life of me, understand why anyone would even contemplate questioning the prospect of turning a vacant property into an occupied asset for the town.
I am guessing from the tone of your post that it is not a facility you would use, but many people with varying lifestyles would find a 24 hr gym more than useful.Not everyone works 9-5. I can understand the prospect of 24/7 for some people who work silly shifts and want to get a work out when they finish at say 3am.

Come on jo, make your mind up!
Para 1. You agree with the number of same shops …for the sake of choice.
Para 3. You totally contradict yourself by stating having the same thing lined up from end to end doesn’t make sense.
Which is it? Both statements contradict each other, so come on, make your mind up time!!
