...About a year ago I purchased the second piece of equipment for our home gym. Now that I have became comfortable with it in actual use, I can perhaps give a fair appraisal. The Background I have a busy life style (who doesn’t these days).

First off the staff at fitness first romford are superb and very freindly and smart and the gym is also very smart and it has an upstairs level that has some of the same equitment from downstairs to upstairs. also upstairs is another room that has other misc equitment and boxing equitment such as a couple of punch bag and a speedball. moving downstairs we have an absolutely huge gym, we of course have changing rooms for the male and the female split apart which is free to use all you need is your membership card...
