my experiance at halifax fitness first

Advantages: large gym and small one for us not so confident people.extremely friendly.
Disadvantages: aerobics etc didnt cater for fat and very unfit

...large gym were all the fitness freiks hang out and there is also a small gym with the same equipment in but not so many people in so i felt more conident in here. after my workout there was a lovely jacuzzi however it was usually full of men so i was not very confident to climb in. once changed and ready for home you could choose a video or dvd to take home free for the first night to encourange you to go back the next day. or £1 per night there ...

LA Fitness, Aldwych. Horror story, don't trust with your stuff.

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Staff, size, safety

The equipment is average and the size small but not too crammed. My horror story relates to stolen stuff. I rented a locker there, and two months after had it broken into when the staff "accidentally" clipped the lock. Three months after they did a refurb, and all my exercise gear went missing. Their lost property list was five pages and this had apparently happened to everyone. The only excuses they had is "A lot of things happened during the refurb" ...
...dozens of people having their gym equipment STOLEN from your gym "out of your control"? This was in March 10. Staff offered more months of locker hire in compensation, which I would obviously have to continue my membership to take advantage of. I declined. They said they would be in contact but havent. Also, when I joined they offered a "student membership, 50% off standard rate", but this was a lie, as the standard membership prices are nowhere ...

This is one of the big Gyms with a 25 metre pool and Spa with whirlpool, sauna, steam room and sanarium.

There are a number of membership packages ...
...suits in respect of how much you want to use it. There are so many classes to choose from as well, all included in your package. The only extra's are Personal Training Sessions and Swimming Lessons.

Prudhoe waterworld is situated in the small Northumbrian town of Prudhoe (pronounced Pruddah) Prudhoe is 20 minutes drive from Newcastle on the A695. It is known as the gateway to the beautiful Tynedale valley. There is a train station in Prudhoe and it is just a short to Waterworld from the station. In addition there are bus links from local towns and Newcastle. Prudhoe waterworld is a fairly small affair and consists of a swimming pool, café, ...
...the swimming pool I visit Prudhoe waterworld. The pool is what I would term a fun pool. It does cater for serious swimmers but there are few lanes with specific times allocated for lane swimming. This is a great pool for children! There is a wave machine and slide in addition to a small shallow beach area that is perfect for young children to play in safety. The beach has a water fountain that is really popular with younger children. There are fun ...

Bank branch

Advantages: Loads: Much better than Fitness First!
Disadvantages: Cafe area

Gym and changing rooms are very clean; in fact whilst I was there a cleaner was giving the showers a good scrub. GHDs to use at no price. Molton Brown toileties as well as lovely bath robes & towels that changing provide you with a bit of modesty unlike some other gyms whereby you get one tiny towell, not washed properly etc etc. Uptodate gym equipment to use although I'm sure they could put more weight machines in. The negitive is the coffee/food ...
