- Both men were later released on police bail with conditions as the investigation continues.
- Footage shared on social media shows two shirtless men grappling in the men's changing room, with one left bloodied, and staff were summoned over the tannoy while children were in the gym, according to police.

- Detectives asked people not to comment on the videos online and to share information via Merseyside Police on X or Facebook, the force website, or 101 quoting reference 26000332326, or through Crimestoppers, noting affray is a public fight that causes fear for bystanders.
