its got this wicked water massaging thing where you are in this capsule head down and water massages you while you watch a dvd of your choice
And the reception girls are quite all right....hehe
It's all good.
Pretty big but no famous people at mine .
Its good. 3 pools, courts, saunas steam rooms, tv's large work out with free weights, aerobic stuff, machines, 2 rooms for different classes, food court, spa, hair style place, massage rooms, about 10 personal trainers around at all times, most just to wander around, they charge 50-100 an hour to actually work with them though.
There are tons of characters there though. Weird people.
Fuck, and I thought my gym was cool!!!
Can I come and live with you?
But your one is better.:(
ANYWAY mines the uni gym, small and full of students. I find the weights room intimidating though cause loads of beefy guys lollop on the machines and I feel really mincy setting it to a diddy weight - feel like I'm being watched and it spooks me!
But it's next door to work and they pay for it now so ho-hum.
Although I do do boxercise in the local leisure centre
The gym part is quite crap, they play the radio really quietly and there is no TV. There are toning tables. I usually just go to the classes now as the gym is a bit boring. There's a sauna, and free internet access.
I'd like to join a posh gym when my membership expires but I would have to travel quite a bit further.
