However, one leisure centre has sent a plea to gym-goers to shower and wear deodorant before arriving for their workout.
Dereham Leisure Centre issued a “gentle reminder” to its customers on Tuesday.

In a social media post, it wrote: “Please arrive for classes freshly washed and wearing deodorant.
“This helps keep our shared spaces comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.
“Strong body odour can be unpleasant for others exercising nearby.
“Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.”
The centre even kindly included a picture of the showers at the facility for any forgetful customers.
The reminder comes after the leisure centre installed new Life Fitness equipment and created an expanded free-weights area in its gym earlier this month.
A spokesman for Dereham Leisure Centre said: “We’ve revamped the space to bring you an even better workout experience.
“Check out our new free weight area too, complete with the latest kit additions designed to help you smash your goals!”
