Gymophobics

Has anyone else heard of these or is maybe going to one?

Well one has gone into my area, hmmm about 6 mths ago. I went along to see what it was like before it opened, found it 2 expensive, so pushed the thought out of my mind.

Then 2 weeks ago they advertised in my local paper, needing 12 people across all age ranges for a FREE 16 week programme, your results would be used for market research.

I managed to get an appt, the offer was proving very popular, i got 3 free trials after my initital go on the circuit. So i went in this morning to use my 1st trial and i am told, i got selected for the 16 week programme. :j

What a fantastic freebie, im saving £120 plus more as i know its £30 a mth, but you also pay initial set up costs, just cannot remember what those are.

I feel like i have won something, even thought it is a freebie as such, it was a competition at the end of the day, with only 12 people being selected.

  • Thanks once again :D . I was really surprised to be told id been selected, after all i did ring up 2 days after my local paper came out, so i thought they'd probably already chosen 12 people.

    I feel its a great thing to win, cos i've got a great incentive now to keep loosing weight and now can tone up my muscles and 'try' and be one of the successful people at the end of the 16 weeks who has had great results.

    Well done. I use Gymophobics and it's great, have lost 50lbs and 18 inches since July last year. Your joining fee would have been about £110, I know that's what it was last year. Enjoy it it's lovely :j
