Big Boys Need Love Too!

They might change their minds when they realise that they could have a monthly income by recognizing your membership x

 

[Taz]

Yeah possibly. I enquired at a different centre so maybe my local one will be a bit nicer!

 

[Gemstone]

I lost my old gym pay and go card and it was renewed last June on the computer (even though they couldn't find me cos it was so long ago) I actually paid £25 for my life membership so that will tell you how long ago that was x

 

[Taz]

I paid £30 for mine in about 2002. Maybe I should pop up there and see what they say

 

[Gemstone]

I would give it a go Taz, it's worth a try x

 

[Taz]

Yeah I certainly don't want to pay again!

Hey guys,

Taz, funny you talk about the gym, mine called me on friday. Trying to get me to rejoin. I told them- " This is the second time you have called in 3 months, I am STILL pregnant and cannot use your gym, so stop calling me!" I know it seems harsh, but I already told them I twice now that I don't want them calling me. If I want anything from a company I will call them I hate to be pestered or bugged. They just want £42 a month for a membership I won't use. And I ain't got that kind of money to waste at the minute. Walking around the village is just fine for now. Plus I only ever used the cross trainer which I have here and other stuff so i don't really need a gym. And being an ex aerobics instructor, I know what to do and how to do it on my own.

Once the baby is here, I will be walking around the village to take LU to nusery, and then I will have enough time to do two rounds of the village with the baby before going to pick him up again. Which will be about 5 miles in total. So that will be fine to start with. Plus we will all be going swimming too, as LU will be old enough to start lessons. And I will be able to get the baby used to the water etc.

LU and I only just got up at 12pm today. *LOL* I have been having a really hard time sleeping as I think the baby has turned and is pushing his feet up under my ribs constantly. So we had a nice sleep. Too late for breakfast for him, so he is having lunch of cucumber slices, carrot sticks and dressing for dipping, plus dried strawberries and 5 doritios, with a big gladd of milk. THat should hold him for all of 30 minutes. hahaha. It will be banana and apple time shortly there after. And since he got up late I will have to keep him up a bit later tonight or he will have a hard time sleeping. It is my fault really, but I needed the sleep.

 

[Taz]

Wow £42 am month is a lot! That is annoying when they call like that especially when you have already told them

 

[Gemstone]

Some companies won't take "no" for an answer will they x

Good morning, I have never had a gym membership, I think it's a rip off. I did get my bike out and get it all cleaned up yesterday ready for dry Sundays when I can go cycling.

 

[Taz]

Morning Jim, I do agree that some gym memberships are a rip off but when you get unlimited swimming and gym use I think it's a good deal

 

[Gemstone]

Good morning everyone

It's a wee bit dull here this morning and quite cold but the sun might poke it's head through later :character00238:

Jim - I have to choose my exercise VERY carefully - I don't think I would be very stable on a bike because of my SI joint problem. I can do pilates, swimming, lateral thigh trainer, twister and rowing exercises (I have an elastic rower that fits around my feet) I have at times gone on the exercise bike in the gym but I wouldn't trust myself out on a bike

Taz - How are you this morning?

Have a lovely Monday everyone x

 

[Taz]

Morning Gem, today I have to go to the bank to put some money in and I plan to go to the leisure centre to investigate about this membership. I am motivated to do it now so I want to get it sorted before I go off the idea. Once I have sorted it out can start to form a routine there

 

[Jim]

Hi Girls, oh unlimited sounds OK, LA Fitness here charge an annual fee and then you have to pay something every time you go in, or so I'm told. I would like to start going swimming again though.

 

[Taz]

There is no annual and no hidden charges and no contract either from what I can see

 

[Gemstone]

That sounds good if the sums add up x

 

[Taz]

The plan I worked out will save me £10 per month!

 

[Gemstone]

That's a good saving Taz x

 

[Taz]

That's based on 2 swims and 1 gym session a week. Obviously if I had a day off I could go extra times and increase the saving!

 

[Gemstone]

Don't overdo the exercise though Taz x
