Quick question to gym users
Just a quick question (though feel free to expand if you wish). If you use a gym, in the shower rooms, what's the ceiling like?

Headphones for running recommendations
I have standard iPhone headphones which are great normally but when I'm running they don't quite stay put for long enough. I prefer the in-ear type to buds or massive over-ear ones.

Have you ever considered a home gym?
Hi all, How many people here go to the gym? My guess would be at least a reasonable proportion of you. For some of you your gym membership might be super cheap already and this might not be such a good idea for you in terms of absolute money saved for quite a while (though the convenience would be a big factor) If you have…
