Gym
So having been to my new gym to workout I can say I was spoiled at my last one (but I did pay a hell of a lot for the privilege) . The machines in the gym aren’t quite as good as I am used to with the displays being slightly more simplistic and cycling through the relevant information instead of being able to show it all at once, there are also less choices of resistance level and they don’t seem to have the number of programs available. There are also far fewer machines which will make life difficult when it gets busy. Still, it’ll do.
The pool itself is OK, if a bit short (again, used to a 25 meter pool) but the whirlpool spa thingy is a bit pants. Its not very warm and it actually sprays cold water in through small jets round your legs which is really weird. Does mean that the lack of a plunge pool is less of an issue (I used to love sitting in the seriously hot whirlpool spa for 5 minutes then jump in the ice cold plunge pool, lather, rince repeat).
The showers suck. They are not very powerful and they are the sort where you push the button and get 20 seconds of water. Those will long hair especially will appreciate that this is a bitch when you are half way through shampooing/rinsing your hair as when the water stops there is much groping to find the button to start the water again.
Anyway, enough of the moaning, its going to cost me less than £1/day to go for the year (assuming I go at least twice a week in the first month) which would work out at £3.50ish per visit (again assuming twice a week) which is cheaper than most pools.
To ensure I actually go I’m going to post my progress (as in when I go and how much I do) here. The reasons [read excuses] why I didn’t go to my last gym as much no longer apply so hopefully I’ll keep this up. Feel free to take the piss if I don’t go enough
