   I’m sorry, but I don’t see what’s wrong with it.. Maybe you can explain your examples of Dunglish??

   sportweek, march with lc letter, mon-tues-etc. with lc letter, groupclasses, healthty to name a few
   All in all it looks like English, but it doesn’t sound English; it sounds like a 1 2 1 translation.
   Am I right?

   Dunglish problems with this text: “Be sportive” is the most obvious, “feel healthty” is another (*healthty* in this case), “answers *on* questions”, and I could go on.

   Comma splice too (‘Enjoy a total work-out, it’s …’, etc.). Still not sure if this is really permitted in Dutch or just very prevalent.
