Springs is a fairly new (built in the last few years anyway) health and fitness complex near South Shields town centre. They have branches throughout the North East of England. They offer numerous different facilities, including gym, weigh loss classes, aerobics, spa and lots more. They are one of the more upmarket gyms and this is reflected in the membership price. I always find gyms with glass-windows and very fit people, quite intimidating -- and Spring has all of these! Most of the people who use their facilities tend to be high flyers who possibly have a membership as one of the perks of their jobs, but there are also 'ordinary' people there too.
If you contact your local club they will give you a free pass for you and a friend, so you can sample the facilities before you commit yourself to paying the monthly/yearly membership charges. read more
