This leisure club claim they are different and they are in a way. They have many offers for new customers such as 50% off guest membership. Inside it is large and there is plenty to do here so your membership does really stretch from gym classes to yoga etc. They have spin classes and also relaxing rooms after your workout. If i joined a gym which I am looking at doing, then I would join this one. It is a top gym in the Tameside area.

Also for the ladies they have a different area with all specialist features so it is great if you are new to the gym and want a slow start without having to worry about men!

Once, a few of us ladies went for a whole day and had our makeup done, nails and hair. That was great but it was expensive! This is the bit I do not get.
