Have you contacted the gym manager and told them since a court claim has now been issued you require the contact details of the person who will be attending court as a witness?
Have you complained to your MP yet about this unregulated scam?
Have you left negative feedback on the gym's website and/or social media?
No, I haven't complained to MP yet or Gym's website and social media....I might consider that too.1 -
You are playing a game. Telling the gym someone will need to appear in court may jolt them into action.
You can ask someone to attend as your witness in accordance with PART 33 - MISCELLANEOUS RULES ABOUT EVIDENCE of the Civil Courts Procedure Rules and Practice Direction. Again, quoting that may make then sit up and take notice.
If the gym won't help, don't consider using social media. Use everything in your arsenal.

I have since moved address, but still have access to the address they have, I am not willing to disclose my current address....What do you advise?0 -
Write to them with your current address by first class post, get a free certificate of posting. If you fail to do so you could get a CCJ by default.
Nine times out of ten these tickets are scams, so consider complaining to your MP, it can cause the scammer extra costs and work, and has been known to get the charge cancelled.
Parliament is well aware of the MO of these private parking companies, many of whom are former clampers, and on 15th March 2019 a Bill was enacted to curb the excesses of these shysters. Codes of Practice are being drawn up, an independent appeals service will be set up, and access to the DVLA's date base more rigorously policed, persistent offenders denied access to the DVLA database and unable to operate.
Hopefully life will become impossible for the worst of these scammers, but until this is done you should still complain to your MP, citing the new legislation.

Just as the clampers were finally closed down, so hopefully will many of these Private Parking Companies.

Unless you are *very* confident that you can react to a court claim within 5 days of it being received, having them NOT know your current address is utterly foolish and serves no purpose whatsoever.4
