Cancelling FitnessFirst membership
My son (stupidly) joined Fitness First then unfortunatly lost his job and couldn't afford the membership any longer of £30+. He asked to cancel but they wouldn't him instead "allowing" him to pay only £8.95 for the rest of his contract, around 12 months and wasn't allowed to use the gym. This finished a couple of months…

Oafs in the gym

I wish my local Library was as quiet as this part of MSE
Sadly it's not. On a monday they have about 100 under 5's singing and running around up and down the aisles. Pushchairs and tantrums everywhere. It has to be heard to be believed. I remember when you couldn't even whisper in a Library without being shushed by an assistant. (70's) Great days. :)

Fat Burning Classes?
Hi, I joined a gym last year as I would like to lose weight, tone up, etc. I found that I work best in classes, which my gym does, as I tend to fart around in the gym and don't push myself. These are the classes that my gym does and that I can make it to: Spin, Spin and abs, Spin and Circuits, Ab Attack, Circuits, Bodypump…

Add an extra 2 stone to your workouts :D It would also give you some protection from attack. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Search/searchTerms/WEIGHT+VEST.htm#pdpFullProductInformation

Football Substitute Folding Chair - Where can I buy one of these???
How to describe this? At many kids football matches I've seen the substitutes sitting on a fold-up chair, that is a multi chair type thing, so 3 kids can sit alongside each other on the same thing. It's like 3 fold up chairs in one. Like this... However, I can't find where to buy one in the UK for love nor money. Can…
