go4it Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Before you sign up Zippy, tell them you'll take their details and think about it, leave it a week or two and then they'll chase you, offering to drop the joining fee. Good point! Play these cowboys at their own game. There is no reason why you should ever pay a joining fee. The idea behind the fees is that these gyms want to get as much money out of you as possible. Some people join and then leave saying they don't like it. The gym may offer a money back guarantee but this does not include the joining fee, therefore for each person that leaves via this way, the gym make £30-50. These places are not hear to make you look and feel good, they are there to make money. All profits go to shareholders, not like a local leisure centre where gym profits are often reinvested in new facilities. Sorry for rant but I hate these places!

pedro1 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Just found out about something that you can try with fitness unlimited. They`ve launched run limited at don valley monday nights 6 till 8. It`s to help you get into running with different coaches for different levels. It sounds right good. Certainly going to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Me? Possibly depending on what else I have on. I try to get there around 8.15ish to have a good 45 minutes on the treadmill and by 9pm the bags upstairs aren't in use Nothing has changed in the last few months since I've been a member.

GazB Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 It's not as busy after 8pm.. I hate going straight from work because the gym is extremely busy.. Especially Mondays with all the weekend warriors! (People that go Monday for 45 minutes and think they've burnt off all the crap they consumed over the weekend!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
