Fitness tracker for hockey and swimming
I'm thinking of getting a fitness tracker. I'd like it to do the following: 1. Display the time and have a timer function 2. Be robust enough that if it gets hit by a hockey ball it should be OK. This isn't very likely to happen but I don't want to be taking the risk with an expensive device with a glass screen. 3. Be able…

Where can I try out cross trainers?
Hi, We’d like to buy a cross trainer but would like to try it before we buy it. We have a fitness centre nearby but they have no budget cross trainers on show, a few mid range (starting at £700) and lots of high end trainers. Ideally we’d like to try some of the cheaper trainers (the £100 ones like the XS Sport, and the…

Good insoles?
I could just jump on eBay right now and buy some but i'd prefer to see what others are using they they think worked well or didn't work well & what they used them for. Right now i'm suffering from pain on the ball of my left foot. This at times extends to my second toe, it's like a tendon or something being stretched, but…

Pain in thigh
A few weeks back I started getting a pain in the left leg whenever I rolled onto that side in bed. It was a sharp pain.

I lifted my left…

Vibrating plates in the gym
Of course the fitness instructors and the gym owners will tell you they work wonders but i can't help but feel dubious about them. Recently signed up to the gym and there's one of these things there and it just brings me images of those belts that you wear that shock your muscles and give you a 6 pack while you eat cake…

Exercise4less no cooling off period?? No good!
Like many of us my partner joined a gym recently. He went into the gym and signed up for a 12 month contract for £12 a month. Good right? Well not as good as the gym I signed up to which has better facilities. We laughed and decided that he should cancel his contract as he is still within the 14 day cooling off period and…

Cheap Team Sports in London!
Want to find friendly Team Sports in London, just want to play casually for social and CHEAP/FREE. Played softball at some leisure center awhile back for a few quid can't remember/find where it was now.

Anytime Fitness "Free" trial costs £10
Evening all, Just be aware that the staff at Anytime Fitness will try and charge you £10 for your "free" session. They argued that you get it off your first month's membership, when you join. I argued, showed them their website, and they gave in. If a free trial was supposed to show off the gym in a good light, it just…

The band of my Fitbit Flex has started to fall apart, this is about the 5th one I've got though and have always been able to buy replacements from the Fitbit website - but to my annoyance they seem to have stopped selling replacement bands for the Flex.
