These settings demand special care, particularly when accommodating people of different sexes, gender identities, trauma experiences, and religious needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The legal responsibilities of employers and service providers, including leisure and health centres, have shifted in very real ways following changes to the law and recent tribunal cases. Whether you\u2019re a gym manager or run a yoga retreat, this blog breaks down what the law says as of April 2025 and the proactive steps you need to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What the Law Says \u2013 Updated for 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Stronger Duty to Prevent Sexual Harassment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, now in effect since 26 October 2024, employers and service providers must show they\u2019ve taken \u201creasonable steps\u201d to prevent sexual harassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. EHRC Guidance on Single-Sex Spaces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EHRC has confirmed that organisations can lawfully exclude trans people from single-sex spaces if this is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. Clear justification is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Legal Risk Areas for Gyms and Wellness Centres<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gender Reassignment Discrimination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sex Discrimination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disability Discrimination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Religion or Belief Discrimination<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Policies and facilities must account for privacy, trauma, religious modesty, and gender identity while remaining lawful and respectful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Your 2025 Action Plan: From Reactive to Proactive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Audit Your Facilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update Your Policies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engage with Your Community<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Train Your Team<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>All actions should be documented and tailored to your members&#8217; and staff needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"> What Good Practice Looks Like<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Private, self-contained changing pods<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Gender-neutral facilities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Clear signage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Staff trained in dignity and respectful conflict management<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Policies that protect all protected characteristics<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">\u00a0Final Word: Respect.

It\u2019s about respecting the rights of all users, being open to feedback, and designing spaces that work for the diversity of people you serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EHRC reminds us that: \u201cWhen making and applying decisions, treat all individuals with dignity and respect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">\u00a0Support for Health and Fitness Providers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help updating your gym or wellness centre policies, or want training tailored to your staff?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can help with facility audits, staff workshops, and creating inclusive environments that meet legal and ethical expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.equalityanddiversity.co.uk\">www.equalityanddiversity.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:info@equalityanddiversity.co.uk\">info@equalityanddiversity.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why this matters to the Fitness and Wellbeing Sector Fitness environments involve intimate space changing rooms, showers, therapy suites.
