    OP what gym have you joined ? I joined a Virgin Active gym this week and was given an hours induction which introduced me to various machines or weight exercises to do.

    Katejo - kettlebells are a type of weight, you swing them and push them :)

    It's in the Holiday Inn, part of the Spirit Active group i think. It is very laid back and used by slightly older people who are way fitter than me! I use it because it's near my house and has a pool which helps my back after. Might have to find a PT, but I would rather do this alone without every man and his dog watching, not sure how viable this is tho!

    Ah Holiday Inn, Id considered joining that 1 but wasn't too sure if they would be any good in terms of advice etc. Didnt want to join up and not be able to ask questions.

    Theres a variety of people of different ages, fitness levels at the 1 I go to. I understand what you mean about everyone watching but its not teh case where I am as everyone is focused on what they themselves are doing.
