Cyngor Gwynedd has received a full application from Georgie Marie Westwood, of fitness company Pocket Rocket Strength, over a change of use of Unit 19 on the Penamser Industrial Estate.

A letter supplied with the application states the intention is to open a female-only gym “designed to provide a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment for women of all ages and abilities”.

The letter added: “The vision for this gym is to create a dedicated space where women can focus on improving their health, fitness, strength, and overall well-being.

“Recognising the need for privacy, comfort, and community, the gym will be exclusively for female members only, offering a supportive atmosphere that encourages confidence and personal growth”.
