Martin: 'I'm setting up a new £1 a month gym...'
I’ve had a great business idea. A brand new super-cheap gym chain. I’ve been inspired by the many people I meet, who admit they pay for their gym membership but never actually go, as one woman (who'll remain anonymous) said "paid £270 for a year's membership, went for one swim. Most expensive swim ever.” Most do it out of…

I've always worn half a size bigger than my dress shoe size but have found that my toes are stubbing when running downhill with the big toe now being bruised. Does this mean…

Do I really need a tracker
I’m in the market for a new set of scales and I probably will buy a smart scale. My old ones, possibly 20 yrs old are well past their sell by date. My first thought was to purchase a tracker and a set of scales that would talk to each other and send the information to Health in my iPhone 6s (not necessarily but something…

I'm looking for a treadmill on a budget so I was wondering if anyone here can help me out! I know that you have to get a good one or you may as well not have one at all, but I really don't have the budget to spend hundreds (for now at least).

xercise4less / Harlands - please help!
Hello I have a monthly rolling contract with xercise4less. A couple of weeks ago I cancelled, and I know I did because it said to not cancel the direct debit.
