More than 3,000 users affected by the closure of Dreamfit in Sant Adrià
The Dreamfit Sant Adrià gym will close its doors before June in Sant Adrià de Besòs, leaving more than 3,000 users without one of their key spaces. The closure is due to the urban development driven by Inditex, which will transform the area and does not include the continuation of the centre at its current location.
The closure directly affects daily life in the neighbourhood. The gym, located in the Alcampo Sant Adrià shopping complex, offered hundreds of activities each month, as well as physiotherapy, nutrition, and personal training services. For many locals, it was much more than just a sports facility.
The response has been swift. Users and staff have launched the #DreamfitSantAdriaconAlcampo campaign to demand a solution that would allow the gym to remain part of the future development. Among the proposals, they suggest integrating it into the new complex or providing an alternative space.
The impact also extends to the centre's team, made up of more than a dozen professionals who now face an uncertain future. The possible loss of jobs and the dispersal of the team is as much a concern as the disappearance of a community meeting point.
The closure is part of a large-scale operation that will transform the Tres Chimeneas area. The project includes a corporate campus for Inditex and a new shopping centre, bringing thousands of workers and a complete reconfiguration of the area.
Alongside the economic boost, debate is growing about the model for the city. Residents and users are calling for the transformation to include spaces for everyday life, reminding that urban development also means preserving the places that sustain the community.
