Yesterday

I joined the gym up the road-some time mid afternoon. This morning I was there at 06.30. It`s been over 4 years since I was in a gym and it is a hard road(but it will get easier).

Somethings never change though-the stench of cheap spray cans intended to give a man `sex appeal`-men listen, they stink and probably ruin all the work you have done when you have to breath in toxic fumes.

Well Meg it`s cheap but the pool is shared with the school next door and a swimming club so the only time to get a gym+swim is between 06.30 and 08.00 weekdays and term time.

Re: Yesterday

I completely understand what you mean. That's why I go at 7 am. You get peace to swim without children throwing floats about Sometimes it feels an effort to go, but you feel so much better after it. Enjoy

Re: Yesterday

Thank goodness for my Ladies Only gym, I go in at 8.15, I thought I was an early bird! I really enjoy it but when I belonged to a much bigger gym that was available to everyone, there were some strange whiffs around!

Re: Yesterday

I perhaps should mention one reason it is so cheap? Bleeding lockers-20p non return. I was used to free lockers and take your own padlock. 20p may not sound a lot but it`s 40p to use the gym and then the pool. That`s £2.80 a week assuming I only go once a day. The offer I got on one year membership was under a fiver a week so locker 20ps must add up??

I think the yoga class has more to worry about. All that let everything relax.........................
