I think Jac has a point, there are people out there who have invested heaps into creating awesome gyms around melbourne and it would be a shame for those gyms to be affected.

i don't think that the design of burnley has been curtailed because of the fear of the gym owners retribution. Rather it's a great attempt at working in conjuction with the other businesses that help support our interest. It would be good to see this attitude and thoughtfullness continue.
