I have to admit, it is really nice. Brand new cardio and weight machines, including a fair few cross trainers and treadmills; beautiful and clean bathrooms with hairdryers, and a high tech security system are just some of the features that Anytime Fitness boasts. We had a chat to one of the personal trainers about the benefits and limitations of joining a 24-hour gym and he managed to convince me that it was a really useful and practical way to get in your exercise if you are strapped for time. One particular example he gave us was about a new mother who woke up every morning at 3am because her baby was crying. Instead of lying around in bed or getting frustrated, she would come to the gym with her daughter and do a workout instead. The other benefit I thought worth mentioning was the security system. People training can wear a sort of necklace with a button that once pushed sends out an emergency call to the police and a private security firm.

Then I found She Runs and Abigail! Every session is different, which keeps it interesting and I'm no longer a procrastinator when it comes to exercise because she's willing to work around my schedule to find a time that suits me, she keeps me accountable so there's no slacking off and I don't have to go near a gym! I cannot recommend She Runs highly enough, a wonderful service run by a wonderful woman.

The hall was a bit stuffy though and fans had to be plugged in. What was it: circuit training, sprints, partner work How many people were there: 6 people, small groups and everyone seemed to know each other. All female and 2 kids sat on the corner as well.
