Parents Criticise Share Fitness Policy on Children's Changing Rooms in Lisnaskea
Share Fitness in Lisnaskea updated its changing room policy for children using fitness and swimming facilities. Children aged eight and over must use rooms matching their gender.
The centre stated the rule supports its safeguarding measures to create a comfortable environment for users. Individual needs can be accommodated if visitors contact the centre ahead of time.
Parents reacted on social media with concerns about children entering changing areas alone. Some questioned safety arrangements and described the policy as inappropriate for children needing supervision.
Commenters noted discomfort with sending sons into changing rooms unaccompanied. Others refused to separate from their boys in the facilities.
Users called for more private cubicles and family changing areas to enable parental oversight while preserving privacy.
Share Fitness responded on social media by thanking users for input and affirming it listens to feedback. The centre prioritises guest comfort and wellbeing.
Three private changing rooms stand available for families or those seeking extra privacy. Staff aim to accommodate specific requests.
