Hi leighfromchippenham,
Just like @Alancito, I’m not having any issue running the following shortcut:
I downloaded the sound file to the iCloud Drive > Downloads folder.
In the “Get File” action, I taped the default Shortcuts folder and chose the Downloads folder. (Note that when you select the folder, the files in the folder are grayed out. This is normal as you are selecting a folder, not a file.) Then I copied the file name from the Files app and pasted it in the Get File action.
I’m suspecting something went awry when you downloaded the sound file and renamed it. Try downloading it again (do not change its name for the time being) and try to reproduce the code, following the same steps I did.
Leigh,
Beside Alancito's pointers, you could consider making a wifi dependency.
When device connects to Anytime Fitness wifi then it executes the shortcut.
I do that at home, as it turns to be more accurate/consistent than using location based triggering.
Defo no space.
Thnaks both. Privacy was already set to the above. I’ll try the WiFi trick.
what would be the recommendation for an action that would be the best to remind me to do something. I can’t see that I can sound an alarm. I tried to set play a sound but can’t seem to set a sound.
Thanks.
leigh ~ A Shortcuts personal automation can be triggered by 'Alarm', and this particular sound will definately remind you:

leigh ~ As the file is correctly located in the folder and the Get action looks correct, I've run out of ideas. So I've asked a Shortcuts expert on another thread to take a look at this issue.
