High blood pressure, getting older, stopping smoking and piling on pounds. Only one thing for it; the dreaded gym!!
Traditionally it's not very nice for larger ladies to go to gyms where everybody else is a hard bodied, gym bunny, but quite frankly, I couldn't care less!!
As it happens, if you're a bit lardy, or not....this gym is lovely. The user and the staff are friendly and helpful. It's incredibly reasonably priced, especially if you cut out smoking!!
If you join the gym, you'll get a REALISTIC induction session, not something that's so awful it'll have you heading for the hills and hiding out behind a chocolate vending machine. Also, the classes are very good. I've only tried 3 of them, brazillian dance, tai chi and toning, but the instructors are realistic, friendly and warm.
This is a NON-JUDGEMENTAL well stocked gym. If you're a bit lardy, over 50 or perhaps perfect but wish to keep up your perfection; it's well worth a visit. They even have cubicles to get dressed in after a shower. Let's be honest here, we're not all happy with getting our lady humps out in front of strangers, are we?!?!
A long ramble, but I LOVE THIS GYM.
There's also a pool, beauticians (who have a five pound deal on right now), kids pool and creche. They've just spent £1m on the place. All but one of the reception staff are very helpful, but I just figure the miserable one has had a tough life and make allowances for that.
Last thing; Tai Chi....it feels like sublime poetry. read more
