As it’s a new build, I assume it’s a concrete slab, why wouldn’t you build a floor fit for purpose?

Looking at the two other threads the OP has running on this outbuilding, I’m assuming it’s a cost cutting exercise gone too far.

I reckon the OP is on a wind-up!

I want pics when the gym equipment cracks the flooring between the battens.

Maybe the builders will glue battens on the bottom of the gym equipment to line up with the floor battens?

I think what's kackered them is that those boards have T&G at the ends, and from what I can tell they've cut them to fit the batten spacing, which has lost the T&G...

OMFG I think you're right!!

Yup

OR you could have just laid the floor properly

Distribute the load to where ?

Your problem is that you have put wooden battens in - which concentrates the load - so at best you can spread a load across a couple of battens, whereas laid properly, the load would be distributed over the entire area.

How about wider battens on top of the floor and then a new floor on top of that?

Nah, he is using a small child to generate the power for the lights.
