Sam, 50, who has been a member of David Lloyd for 15 years, told the Daily Mail: “There has hardly been any communication at all.
“They put up small signage by the entrance to the spa saying they were introducing women’s only sessions around four to five days before they started.
“A lot of people didn’t even know about it. There was no email communication. They’ve not consulted at all with the members and the manager said that some members were not using the spa anymore because of men.”
He added: “One of the reasons given was that some Muslim women don’t feel comfortable. Then when I asked about an equivalent session for men, the response I got was that men don’t feel uncomfortable around women.
“I know some men who don’t feel comfortable with their bodies might try to go when it is a bit quieter, so you can’t just categorically say they wouldn’t be affected.”
