Many of my friends live in Kingston and are members of the Esporta gym on the Richmond Road. When they told me that I could get a days free membership trial if I entered my details on their website I jumped at the chance.
The gym is in a good location, approximately three minutes walk from kingston train station. I made good use of my days trial, had a swim in the pool, used the steam room and sauna and afterwards even did a quick gym workout. The swimming pool was very nice and I was suprised how empty it was considering it was the weekend. They had designated swimming lanes in place for those wanting to do a good workout, aswell as plenty of extra pool space for those just wanting to relax.
I was told several times by my friends that there was loads of equipment in the gym and there is, although a number of the machines (weights and cardio) are repeated and so the total number of different machines is significantly lower than on first inspection. It appeared to me that they had gone a bit over the top with this concept though as again there weren't that many people actually in the gym.
There are also many fitness classes available to members (over 85 apparently), although these aren't available on the free trial.
Although I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent in the complex I don't think I will be rushing to sign up for membership because apparently its expensive compared to other sports clubs in the surrounding area.
For those of you who are interested in the place though I have included some extra information below:
Good review....The whole family is into fitness in some way now... My sons use the gym 3 to 4 times a week, I do 2 aerobics classes a week and power walk the other nights and the man of the house eats one less bar of chocolate a week if he is reminded...I haven't yet made up my mind wether I will cycle into town 3 and a half miles to night or walk.... Take care. J.
