YouTuber BeardedReality films inside of Newark's abandoned Sports Direct gym




A YouTuber has filmed the inside of the abandoned Sports Direct gym in Newark.

BeardedReality recently released the video on YouTube of the gym that closed for good in November last year.

A group enter the building and go into the swimming pool area, which is trashed and filthy, yet the pool is still filled.

We are then shown through to the main gym area where, again, everything has been destroyed — yet the lights are still on. Most equipment has gone apart from a few cross trainers.

The changing rooms have been raided and most locker doors thrown open, and smashed glass is everywhere.

The video has more than 3,000 views.

Entering buildings like this this without consent is trespass.

When the closure of the gym was announced, around a dozen members organised a protest outside and there was a petition and appeal for new owners to take it over.

However, nothing ever came of this.

A Newark man organised the protest and went along with his son.

At the time, he said the pool and gym — which had been there for 16 years — said its sudden closure impacted on the jobs of staff and the health and well-being of residents.
