Sounds good Yola, especially if it has worked for you before. When is your next visit to the gym? |

It's tomorrow. Assessment (BMI, fat content - gulp - weight, height, lung capacity, the full works) and a programme developed for me. I'd like some cardio (x-trainer and treadmill) a few weights but I'd really like to get into the exercise ball and stuff like that. They really work on muscle tone very quickly. Oh, and they do classes too which are all included in the price. So I'll be doing some of those as soon as I can work out which ones and when (yogalates, body pump etc etc). |

LOL I am sure the assessment will be fine tomorrow. Talking of body fat I got some of those body fat scales at the weekend!!!! LOL sort of wished I hadn't now!! My gym also does classes, spin, pilates, body pump also but I am too much of a chicken to do one  |

Hmm - the only thing I'd never consider doing is spinning. That's waaay to scary! I hate exercise bikes anyway - and the thought of power-biking fills me with dread! |

They do a 30 min spinning class (normal one is 60 mins long!!!! LOL) but I am still too much of a chicken to try it! Perhaps when I get a bit fitter  Also with classes like body pump my co-ordination is terrible, I would be the one person in the class that everybody is sniggering at! Just out of curiosity is it an independant gym you have joined or a franchise one? |

It's a Fitness First gym - I think they're franchised as they seem to be in lots of locations nationwide. I'd been a member of hotel gyms in the past but they were always so small and full of very agressive salesmen working off their expensed dinner + beer  so I thought I'd try a different one.This one's big and a bit impersonal but it was only my first visit so I'm sure I'll get into the swing of things! |

I have heard good reports about Fitness First, although I use an independant (although very large gym) as there is no franchised ones near enough to where we live. I think gyms always seem very impersonal to start off with, until you have been going for a week or so. |

Maybe we should start a fitness thread . . . I would love to share ideas with others and find out what works well for anyone else who's embarking on weight loss or body conditioning programmes! I'll try and remember to start one if I get a minute tomorrow as I'll have my little noisy fella at home with me  |
