Fpro ball mastery starter kit – worth it?
I need opinions: I’ve been looking at the Fpro ball mastery starter kit which costs $176.00. There’s a coupon code sporty20 for 20% off, so the price becomes a bit more reasonable. It actually looks like a really cool gift idea for my son with the new season coming up. From what I’ve seen, the app comes with a huge amount…

Garmin Scales
Hello, Our bathroom scales ceased to function, so we need some new ones. We like the Garmin scales, as they will directly sync and populate the Garmin Connect App. However, at £120, it is frankly a lot of money to pay and probably not worth it. A popular online retailer offers several alternative types of smart scales,…

Best alternative to Lidl running shoes?
My husband has been very happy with the several pairs of £15 running shoes he's had from Lidl. I've been waiting in vain for ages for them to stock them again, but it doesn't seem to be likely and the Lidl shoes are now very worn! So I was wondering if anyone can recommend somewhere to source something similar ie…

These combine education (5 sessions) and fitness, and offer 14 weeks of free gym membership and swimming. Criteria and availability presumed vary council to council but thought I'd share. I have always…

The Gym Group "Change home gym" membership PRICE hike w/ Loyalty PRICE promise
So I've had my current Gym membership for a VERY long time. When The Gym Groups gyms were fairly new. I signed up for a membership that guaranteed the price 'forever' at £20.99 per month. However, at some point the company changed the full multi-site access to this system where I have to first add an additional gym through…

Social media/podcast inspiration for getting fit
I've let my exercise slip for a little while now. Used to do weights twice a week and a little jogging. Can anyone recommend social media people to follow or podcasts to listen to which are meant for people like me who've lapsed or are just getting started and need motivation?

Buy discounted trainers online
First of all I hope this is the right category for my thread. Apologies if it isn't. I'd like to buy Hoka trainers. Even on sale in shops and on their website they are too expensive. I found a website onlinehttps://www.runnerstore.co/First of all I thought the .co was dodgy. I didn't understand why there is a .co rather…

Footwear for walking
I walk about 2000 miles per year, a mix of country roads, fields, dirt tracks etc. I wear Anatom boots as they’re the only ones I’ve found that stay waterproof for any length of time. I also have a pair of Brooks trainers which I wore during the summer when the ground was dry enough (which wasn’t much!). Recently I’ve had…

Can a smart watch replace me carrying my phone?
Hi, I’m not sure if this is possible, I have never owned a fit or smart watch. I’m working through C25K and currently carrying my iphone with some ear buds. I did try a phone holder that wraps around my arm but it kept slipping and was uncomfortable so I’m wondering what other options there are. I have seen people running…

Online fitness class using MS Teams - how does it work?
I've been encouraged to join a fitness class using Teams but no idea how it works. I've never even been to any kind of exercise class so can't imagine how this is done online. I thought it would be like following a fitness video but it looks like you can see everyone else wobbling around in their sitting rooms and they can…

Adjustable Dumbbells VS Standalone
Hey everyone, I've started to use the weights I have quite a bit more in December and January, to the point I'm doing something every other day with them. The selection I have I'm just starting to out grow, so looking for heavier weights, my dilemma is between fixed weights and adjustable ones - dumbells in both cases. For…

In 2022, we were paying £55 a month each. In 2023, we were paying £63 a month following a 14.5% increase in prices. In 2024 they…

Nuffield gym 'joint pain course' and membership afterwards.
I've recently done a joint pain course run at a local Nuffield gym. (Which i understand is partly funded by the local authority, the nhs and the 'chatity arm of Nuffield') I would recommend it, it's 2 sessions a week for 12 weeks, and then a further 12 weeks free to use the gym, pool and classes, then half price membership…
