Can someone confirm the legality of this UK addidas store with gym above offering services to women only for free, also 10% discount only for women if they use the gym ?

I would say it was illegal since men cannot partake in the offer. There was a case where the Women's Institute use to get 10% at Grape tree. This company had to make the offer available to men.

I would say illegal in the UK. Since the offer cannot be accessed by men.

Where does it say in any of the literature that the offers are only open to women or aren't open to men?? It's clear from the website that this is marketed to appeal solely to women but I fear there's a presumption that this is exclusive to women simply because of the 'mygirlsstudio' line, images etc. Book a place using a name like 'Hilary' or some other unisex name. If they refuse you service when you turn up there then you are being discriminated against, however it's not illegal or discriminatory to market any product or service to appeal to a target group.
