i actually have membership at 2 gyms in my town, i have too in order to get the best of both worlds but it is worth the extra fees.

I use JJB its got a pretty good free weights room, incline, flat and decline benches, a smith, a squat rack, ez bars, preacher bench, dumbells up to 50 Kg and more than enough plates, that i'll ever need anyway. Then also got loads of machines aswel.

Plus its got a Pool, Steam Room, Sun Beds and Spa.

Not bad for 18.50 a month, only complaint is the fact that the instuctors don't know much about bodybuilding, only seen one ever doing Squats, Deadlifts and Bench Press.

Hi all, i was doing my workouts at home until i needed, more room, although it is a good idea to do some research into joining, before you actually do, i could have joined LA Fitness or another large commercial gym, then paid some ridiculous amount to cover the stained glass windows they put in when building it. Instead i joined the local council my council tax is more worthwhile, and i have a gold card which gives me access to everything except the ladies changing, for 28.00 quid a month they swipe my card, and as a bonus i have full access to 10 shortly to be 12 other leisure centres fully kitted out and refurbished in my council run area, instead of 1 glitzy LA Fitness centre where half of the members go to pose. And these large gymnasiums cant supply half the atmosphere or accessories. Tell me youre thoughts chaps.
