Walking shoes
Hi Fit MSEs I am fed up of ruining my swearing trainers - actually my running trainers, but I swear more when I'm out wheezing and coughing, so have renamed the activity accordingly.

DW Fitness or Total Fitness or Neither
Hi all, I've recently changed jobs and move around the North West, mainly Manchester or Liverpool. I need a gym membership which firstly has a swimming pool and secondly can fit in with my hectic schedule.
