We sent one ambulance crew, a single responder by car and an ambulance officer to the scene. We treated three patients for minor injuries at the scene. A woman was taken to West Middlesex hospital for back pain.”

A spokesperson for Virgin Active said, “This morning at our Chiswick Park club part of a suspended ceiling came down onto the gym floor. Three club members were treated for minor injuries by an ambulance crew and we understand that one of them was subsequently taken to hospital as a precaution. The safety and well-being of our members and staff is our utmost priority, and as such the club will remain closed while we investigate further. We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause our members, and we are working to reopen the club as soon as possible.”
