V-Fit Herculean Cross Trainer Gym

Advantages: women only, not overcrowded, variety of machines, lovely staff
Disadvantages: communal showers, could be cleaner

...I love this new gym, I have lost 1 stone in 3 months. This week the cycles and rowers arrived and now I feel that I can vary my workout each time I go. It is relaxing and friendly.

Advantages: Friendly, non poser gym.
Disadvantages: Awkward to get to on public transport.

...Clean gym, with well informed staff who are friendly and approachable. Gym is well equipt, though some equiptment when out of order, does take some time to be repaired.

Sports injury clinic available and treatment room. Found this useful and practitioner well qualified and proffesional.... Read review

OK, so it may have been to my sister who`s other half is into fitness and has a whole room as an indoor gym, but so what! It is out of my house. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + I bought the Cross Trainer afew years ago when I had a child at home.
