Review of Circle One Wetsuits by

Advantages: Keeps you warm
Disadvantages: A bit thin for winter surfing
...Over all I was pleased with this wetsuit, its does the job and was redeemably priced.
COMFORT AND PARCTICALITY
A wetsuits comfort, whatever make it is will depend on wither it is a short summer suit or a long winter one. A short suit would be more comfortable when the water is warmer and you are spending more time on the beach itself, however if a short suit is too larger it tends to shift around much more giving you're a very sour neck. Most Circle One longies make good summer and winter suits because they are thin enough that you will not get too hot in the summer but it is still bearable in January/ February, however it is still important to get one the right size because wearing one which is too small will restrict your movement and one which is too large will rub on your neck and chest. If you do own one which is only slightly...

Review of Circle One Wetsuits by
pannell2612
Advantages: Competative price/durable
Disadvantages: Can be quite cold in winter.
...As a company circle one has a good reputation for making good quality wetsuits. My current winter wetsuit is from them and I find that it is exceptionally durable and comfortable. Some of the more expensive branded products (quicksilver, rip curl etc) do not appear to be as well made.

As mentioned in the previous review the cheapest time to buy a wet suit is end of season (winter one end of winter) summer- end of summer.
The wet suit is five milimeters thick (summer suits are normally around three) which is about...

The Peak of Fitness
Review of Peak Fitness, Gloucester by
little_minx26
Advantages: Good classes, excellent customer service
Disadvantages: No pool
...I joined Peak Fitness after my not-so-brilliant experiences with the Gloucester Esporta (see other op). Peak Fitness is about 5 minutes from our new house, and had been reccomended to me by several people at work. So, shortly after Christmas I decided i'd better wear off all that turkey and mince pies and join the gym.
**Who are they**
Peak Fitness is a chain club, but a lot smaller than the likes of Esporta and Fitness First. They have gyms in Cheltenham, Gloucester, Docklands, Palmers Green, Woking, Worcester, Whitley Bay, Tonbridge & 2 in Newcastle. They are also known as Arena in Northern Ireland. You can use any of these gyms as a member for no extra cost.
**Facilities**
The Gloucester club is situated on the outskirts of the city, in a large open shopping area. There is plenty of parking, even when it's sale time...
