Search the Public Notice PortalPlans to transform a storage unit in Paisley into a female-focused personal training studio have been submitted to Renfrewshire Council.
MJK Architectural Studios has lodged a bid for planning permission on behalf of an applicant for the venture at the CoVault facility in McFarlane Street.
If given the green light, Bloom Fitness Studio would look to create a members’ space where women can train together in a “safe and private” environment.
A supporting statement explained: “The unit would be used as a female-focused personal training studio which would be confined to bookings only and not open to the general public for use as a regular commercial gym.

“The main use of the space would be for one-to-one personal training but would also include some small group training sessions for up to 10-12 people at one time.
“This is an existing business with a predefined structure that is relocating to more suitable premises.”
The new occupants have expressed their hope to be a “sustainable business” and “good neighbour” by operating in a way that is respectful of the community.
“Their aim is to build a fitness facility that supports local health and wellbeing while also being a considerate and constructive presence in the area,” the statement said.
It continued: “The two coaches wish to create a private members’ space where women can train together in a safe and private environment.

“As such, the large roller shutter door and entrance door will remain closed while in use.
“This not only provides privacy for the members but will reduce noise pollution to the residential flats which are approximately 80 meters away.
“It is worth noting that clear instructions from the coaches are required and the volume will remain low to permit this.”
To manage parking demand and reduce congestion, the coaches would not be running sessions simultaneously. They would be organised in a way that makes sure only one coach is operating at any given time. Meanwhile, group sessions would be scheduled to avoid morning and evening rush hours.
A decision on the application, which is expected to be made by council officers, will be confirmed at a later date.
