Gyms in Fife Area

Fifer73

Please feel free to move this if i have posted in the wrong place.

Needing to remove fat more than weight, I have mobility issues nothing to bad but it does effect my right side , arm slightly and right leg also weaker than my left side and would benefit from personal training assistance to build a program that would remove fat from stomach area and build on my other areas whilst taking into account my mobility issues.

I have been looking at details of local council run sports centres nearest ones to me are in the Leven and Kirkcaldy area, good point you can get a months membership to try them out, prices range from £20- £30 a month.
Has anyone used the Fife local athourity sports lesiure gyms ? :j

Other alternative is Bannatynes Gym in Dunfermline
but that ranges from £45 + a month and traveling costs would also increase to get there. :j

Has anyone used the Bannatynes Gym in dunfermline?
Any advice on local athority / large chain in Fife area would be helpful, also any ideas on how to lower cost if the large chain would be better for my needs .

Many thanks

The gym in local authority gym in Dunfermline was absolutely fantastic ( I say was as it's currently being refurnished, opens again next year) and the pricing was much better than the private gyms.

I have a friend who is a member at Bannatynes at Duloch Park and all was well with them for the first 3 months, but after that they found it increasing difficult to get one-to-ones or arrange a time for reviews. For the price you pay there, I'd expect a much better service...

What ever you do, don't go to Step Up Fitness in Rosyth, it's very well priced, but far too over-subscribed, towards the end of my contract I was queuing for the equipment all the time and half the classes had been cancelled...

If you do decided to go to Bannatynes, arrange a visit with them, they'll show you round, explain all the pricing etc and then ask you to sign up. DON'T!!! Tell them you'll think about it and within a couple of days they'll call to ask if you've decided, tell them you feel it is more than you can afford. Within the next week or so you should get a letter from them offering a better price (I got offered peak membership for me and the OH for £80 per month, should have been £110)

Thanks for the information,
Leven swimming pool is nearest to me, would save the drive to the private run gym, although i do like the money saving tip about membership .

I will prob nip into leven to get a look round see what time is busiest, and then review my options.

I really need the one on one to actually motovate me as i am so lazy.
The thigh trainer gets used for a 15 mins a day, and 10 mins on the ab lounge and although i do have a wii fit i have recently bought ea active which is better.

I just need someone to actually push me to the limit ( taking into account my mobility issue ) to help me remove the fat

Thanks for your help :T

Well good luck, I hope you manage to find something that suits you, without costing the earth

If your nearest are Kirkcaldy/Leven then you must be pretty near Glenrothes?

The gym I'm currently joining is about 30quid a month for gym and pool use (no option for gym on it's own,but there is one for just the pool)

It's right next to Adam Smith college.

How about the Adam Smith College? It's a small facility but pretty good, I joined as a student - but non-students can join too!
