The gym

Today I finally got around to the 5 minute walk up to the leisure centre. The yearly fee works out at a fiver a week for a gym,pool(somewhat restricted hours during school term) and a sauna -seems reasonable.

Just waiting now for the usual clearance having had to say yes,I`m on meds for BP,cholesterol,Type 2 diabetes and atrial fibrillation.

I guess they have to clear it but my doc would say it`s just what he should do.

Re: The gym

I love going to my health club, I only swim mind, but it is just great AND good for me . I have been a member for about 15 years now and it has worth it .

Re: The gym

Hope you enjoy it OG. I love it. I also only swim, but it makes you feel great.

Re: The gym

Well hats off to the gym. No sooner was I about to post this when their medical advisor phoned me. She just wanted to know a few things in order to prepare my induction and initial training programme. I am well impressed.

Re: The gym

I hope you enjoy your time there OG.

Re: The gym

Sounds very efficient, I hope you enjoy it I have been a member of different gyms for around 15yrs now, wow where did that time go, can't beat it for lifting the spirits and feeling well, too.

Re: The gym

That sounds like an excellent gym. Professional as it should be. You can't risk anything with member's health. Sounds like it will be worth joining OG.

Re: The gym

I love going to the gym, and ideally I like to go three times a week. It's at the local branch of Age UK, only costs £1 for a session (as long as you like) and no monthly/yearly fees. They have a big air conditioned room with couple of dozen really good machines to train on and that does me just fine. No saunas or swimming pool but for £1 you can't grumble.

Re: The gym

I'm a member of my local leisure centre. I go to the gym quite a lot but it's the swimming pool I use the most - not just for swimming but the various water based exercise classes.
