Thank you very much. Not much out there for this type of business.
 
Slight variation on this question - what occupancy is a ‘medispa’ with a gym? I would typically consider the gym an assembly space
Is the gym ancillary to the main use? How big are the spaces? I would still be leaning towards a B.
