Ymca

Well if you’re entitled to use this gym for the concessionary rate of around £20 per month, for the money, you get what you pay for. However, if like most folk out there, you have to pay around £40 per month, then I’d suggest you shop around. The gym itself is tiny, only supervised 70% of the time and some of the users in there are a bit on the dodgy side. I mean, who in this day & age wants to work out in jeans & a hoodie? You don’t get a membership card straight away because there is a fault with thier printer. Instead, every time you go, you have to leave a deposit of £5 or more or a mobile phone, jewellery etc… After paying 2 months up front, the last thing you want to do is to faff around with deposits on entries. There’s a small sauna & steam room on separate floors. How would that work then? Waltz up the stairs with just a towel around you? Not the best design in the world. I guess one of the good things about signing up with the YMCA is that that that you’re not committed with them on a contract for a year. I’ve been with them for only a month now & I feel ready to consider an alternative gym. That’s not good.
