Motive Fitness Alpine Climber Treadmill

Advantages: Good cardio and classes...
Disadvantages: but the weights area leaves a lot to be desired

...and would only last for a short period of time is more of a constant than a special offer. The actual gym looks fairly impressive as you walk in the doors, with all the cardio equipment lined up. There are several treadmills all lined up facing the TVs at the opposite side from reception. There are also several cross trainers spread out around the cardio section together with bikes, two stair climbers and two rowing machines. As you might have guessed from the number of treadmills they are by far the most popular together with the cross trainers. If you go here at peak times, you will sometimes struggle to get on the treadmills in spite of there being so many of them. The TVs are always on, each set to a different channel and you can listen to them or a selection of 3 radio channels simply using your own headphones. Even though you are meant... Read review

Advantages: Friendly, clean and well equipped
Disadvantages: no pool and can get busy at peak times

...I have been going to fitness first now for about 6 months after it was recommended to me by my mum who has been going for several years. I feel that is very reasonable and I got membership for only £29.00 p/month and I can go anytime (cheaper packages restrict you to peak/off peak etc) The gym is very well equipped with ample treadmills, bikes and cross trainers for when it is very busy.

This room also has... Read review

Advantages: Exercise for the unfit.....with advanced features for the fitter
Disadvantages: Doesn't remember last session stats | Manual Incline

...to exercise and constantly push myself a little further. This treadmill is as comfortable as the ones in my local gym, and for all it's minor faults, it has one big advantage….I can use it whenever I like, and even watch TV while I walk. For someone with as poor a fitness level as myself, this is a huge plus, I need all the motivation I can get, and as little excuse factors as possible. Yes there are improvements that could be made to the Powerstrider (motorised incline/memory function), but that would make it far more expensive. I'm therefore recommending this treadmill, to those who, like me, are making their first steps on the road to fitness, feel too self-conscious to use a public gym and of course have the space. My local gym costs £5 a session, so even if I use it twice a week (£520/year), it will have paid for it's within a year (I... Read review
