Can I change my mind about total fitness membership??
On Friday I joined total fitness. I was there as I was taking part in a 12 week course I had signed up to. I went to speak to someone about membership and was told as it was the last day of January the joining few was only £5, and from the next day would be £65. This was at 7:20pm. I was told I had until 8pm to join. I…

Cheer recruitment
Cross-posting this with the Relationships board to try and get more ideas!! Hi all! Wondering if you delightful people could give me some help. I run a small cheerleading squad, and as it happens at the moment we're having massive trouble recruiting! We recently had an open day and didn't get many takers, but I think that…

Gymophobics versus normal gyms
I'm hopeless! Can't decide on a gym, my old gym or the gymophobics. Both are 10/15 mins walk from home so close by and gymophobics is even closer to work or town if I'm popping in Gymophobics is easier to do as don't really need special gear to wear and takes 30-45 mins. Old gym I would probably take longer and as it's not…

Running advice please!
I can run 5km quite comfortably... I fancy a challenge for this year in the shape of a 10km run. I have seen one on the first week March. I'm worried this is too soon. I am fully committed and really want to achieve this but is it too quick to go from 5km to 10km in 8 weeks? Any advice from more experienced runners would…

Are True Gym pre pay packages returning?
I was looking on True Gym's website just before Christmas and you could buy 3, 6 and 12 month membership packages that worked out pretty cheap without the hassle of direct debits. Now in Jan they have disappeared! Anyone know if pre pay packages will be returning once all those new years resolutions have been sealed with a…

Health vs Money - Gym
Posting here as I think this is the best place. Long, confused post. I've been to the physio and I've damaged a ligament in my ankle, recurring thing. I'm very obese and out of shape, need to do more exercise. Walking has its place, but right now at least I need to exercise while not putting weight on that ankle ideally,…

Reducing in size but not losing weight
I've been eating 1500 cals a day for the past three or so months and running every other day. I re-eat the calories I burn off running so that I stick to around 1500 a day. I've been losing weight every week and have gone from about 15 1/2 stone at the beginning to 13st 12lb now, but for the last two weeks I haven't lost…

Personal trainer
Thinking about getting a personal trainer and wanted some advice. What sort of things should I look in picking someone? Is there such a thing as discounted personal trainers? Not sure if there are large groups offering personal trainers. I imagine they are mostly self employed. Is there any sort of health plan or scheme…

Getting the most out of the gym..
Hi all. I'm looking for a bit of advice... I joined a gym a year ago, and until December, went fairly regularly. Reasons for joining were primarily weight loss at the time (as I has a forthcoming wedding) and, together with healthy eating, I managed to lose a couple of stone. Weight loss aside, I really enjoyed the…

Step counter for someone on crutches
This is not a joke. I had polio as a child and because of this I walk on crutches and because of this I am wondering if there is a step counter that you can wear on your arm that would count your steps. I've been told I need to increase my activity and lose weight and thought that this would be a motivator if it would…

Any gym with a capped PAYG?
I know some gyms like puregym and gymgroup offer monthly without a 6 month or 12 month contract.. And I know you can freeze for x months with them for £5/£6 a month.. (and you can't freeze for weeks only months 'cos it's direct debit) But with me, there may be some months where I only use the gym once, and other months…

Any WW dieters out there??
I have been on and off with weight watchers for the last few months, losing a couple of pounds and then putting it back on. However this time I want to stick to it and shed 10 pounds by April. We have booked a holiday and i want to feel confident in a bikini rather than hiding behind a towel like last year. I wondered if…

Gym changing conditions? Swimming Pool advice please.
Could I have some advice on my options regarding the swimming pool at the gym near my work? I signed up for a gym membership last December with the expressed intention of using it mostly for swimming: I have long-term knee injuries and the cold water compression and exercise are both really good for me. I checked the water…
