    Thanks for all the replies, it's been helpful.

    Slight progress - MRI scan in a couple of weeks, although I've heard it can be a while to get any results. Do you think I should wait for that before seeing a physio? So far no knee exercises done at all because I wouldn't know where to start.

    Checked the swimming pool and it's either 6.30 -8 :eek: or Wed evenings. Might just about be doable on a working from home day as I still need to fit in the pre-work dog walk. Not convinced I'm motivated enough to get my backside out of bed though, especially when the clocks change. I did try aqua fit once, but it wasn't for me - much rather go for a proper swim.

    I've not heard of curves but googling it there isn't one near me.
    I am interested in Pilates, (my core strength has evaporated!) and there does seem to be one evening class, so that might be something else to try for starters.
    This is just a bad time of year for anything outdoorsy - I'm far better in the summer at getting my act together.

    When I'm at the gym I use the ascent trainer to loosen/work my dodgy knee.

    This moves in a more circular motion vs a cross trainer with its more back & forth movement.
