Money Moral Dilemma: Should we leave our golf club and rejoin later to get cheaper membership?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... My golf club offers cheaper rates to new members than to those renewing. We've approached the owners about the unfairness of this, but they didn't seem to take us seriously, so a large group of us are now all thinking of leaving, playing somewhere else for a year, then…

Virgin active gym
Hi, stupid me created a membership with virgin active for 12 months and the first month being free for.

I still need to pay the first month's payment, and is it my first time ever creating any kind of membership and me…

Heating on for Lodgers

The a.m is set to come on daily at 6.30am for 2hrs and at 10.00am at weekends. P.m is from 5.00- 11.00pm. My energy bill is just about doable. I now have a new…

I want a home gym
I really want to lose some weight and whilst financially a subscription to the gym would probably work out cheaper, I don't have the confidence to go to the gym. I'm on the larger side, it's fair to say, and I don't feel confident to put my body on show at the gym, or make a fool of myself. I wondered if anyone else has…

Differences between these 2 Nike AirForce 1 Trainers?
Hi, I was hoping someone could advise. I was going to buy some Nike Air Force1 Trainers.

Fitness levels fallen off a cliff
I used to be a really good runner, I was a member of my local running team and I’d run on the roads 3 or 4 times a week and the rest of the time I’d either go the gym or go swimming. But then COVID happened and I ran 4 or 5miles on the roads every day for about 15 months until my knees just gave up on me.…

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…

PureGym have screwed me over, what can I do?
I joined PureGym 3 years ago before they had built the gym, the build got delayed due to covid and finally opened a year ago. My joining offer was £12.99 a month and then it goes up to £19.99 after a year. So the other day I noticed my direct debit had gone up. I now have a Blue Light Card and knew that I could get 5% off…

PureGym Prices
I joined at my local PureGym a year ago with an off-peak membership. I noticed the price is now £12.99 for new members, but I'm still being charged £9.99 which is what it was when I joined (there wasn't a fixed period or offer). Do PureGym prices stay fixed for life or something like that?

Though at the same time I do not get a "voucher not valid" message or similar. To anyone that has signed up with a discount code, is this normal. I am unsure of if…
