Life Fitness 95Re Recumbent Lifecycle

Advantages: Spacious, comfortable, friendly well equipped gym.
Disadvantages: Oh dear, it has a bar!

...I joined Greens having recently changed job, with a Greens Fitness Centre located opposite my new office. Joining seemed a good alternative to a daily stop at Subway for a sandwich and i promptly inquired about fees, facilities and opening hours. I was offered a couple of packages, one of which was the off peak annual membership i purchased. I think, but i'm not a 100% sure that I got a corporate discount. FEES Off peak member ship cost £35 a month, with an initial £15 deposit for the security band that gets you in and out of the building, lockers etc. This gives me full access for the following times: - Monday to Friday - 0630 to 1700hrs - Saturday & Sunday - All day Basically i can't use the gym after 5pm during the working week. Full membership was £45 giving access at all times. STAFF There is a large staff compliment... Read review

...showers. There are also two tanning rooms that each have a very "space age" looking sunbed in them. There is also a cafe/bar area that that sells some nice food and a wide variety of drinks, although service can be a little slow, even when the place is as good as empty.

...without cardio theatre - I just wouldn't go! They have about 6 different channels including MTV, Sky News, Sky Sports 1, ITV, BBC1 although if there's not many people in the gym the staff are happy to change the channels for you if you're desperate to watch the bowls on BBC2... When you join the gym the staff will give you an induction on how to use the machines. They will also write a programme for you so you can keep track of your progress. The programmes are stored in a filing box in the gym area for you to refer to whenever you like. They will also happliy give you more excersises to do if you feel you're not being challenged enough. Not something I ask for! **Classes** Peak Fitness runs a range of Les Mills designed classes including BodyPump, BodyBalance, Yoga, Pilates, Fitball, Spin, LB&T, Step, Curcuits, Latino Aerobics...
