Gym Memberships

Fitness first quoted me £39.95 peak membership (corporate) plus £30 joining fee, refused to pay that and anyway the gym is small and the machines are to close together.

Then i contacted LA Fitness and said that Fitness First quoted me £35 excluding joining fee of course this was a white lie.

Within 10 mins i had an offer of £28 no joining fee, also i convinced the membership person to give me 1 hour with a personal trainer and a few extra goodies. Saving £100 per year.

    hmmm I gave up on gyms a long time ago, i didn't like the stick insects in there.

    So finally got my Wii Fit yesterday and i shall have my 'gym' at home.

    even jogging is now safe for me in my own home :j

    £69.99 one off payment
    Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?

    I have a friend who works with me and she uses the same gym as i saw her today and is paying £35 wheras i am paying £29, we are both on a corporate membership. I think i have done rather well, although LA gyms are a little outdated but still same equipment just a bit older.
