At my gym this morning, I had finished and was in the coffee shop when a tannoy message went out which said "control message, Mr Sims to the men's changing room" 4 staff left the reception desk and ran to the changing room and then cordoned it off
I know Mr Sands means fire but what is Mr Sims?

Different places have different codes. A lot will have a general code for all staff to go to an area, usually a medical or security incident.

Medical emergency??

Changedusernameforthis2 · 12/04/2025 19:41

Yeah I thought it must be medical but just wondered if it was a well known code I've missed

If it’s a David Lloyd gym is for an accident or medical problem.

Does it matter?

Presumably the whole point of a code is so that all and sundry don't either crowd around hoping for a gawp or panic causing more problems than they solve.

Why do you need to know the code? Does it make you feel important?

Ooh yeah it makes me feel so important mwah ha ha
Now I can take over the world
Oh wait, it was just me chatting on a forum about something that happened earlier and I'm by myself tonight so no one to chat to. Luckily there's nasty bastards like you though who put me in my place
Sorry m'lud

Why do you need to be so rude to an OP? Does it make you feel superior?

Why on earth would it make her feel important, makes no sense

I would be curious as well if I heard it….it’s called curiosity
