bannatynes in london, £50 per month, allows use of the local gym at home, but i use the one close to work during the week

some gyms have the flexability to tweak the fees if you show that you have looked around

nearest other gym is around £70 per month, but with upfront payment and buy 13 for price of 12 and a small arm bending they came down

I have to pay as I go due to living in London mon-fri so its £5 a sesh at muscleworks (bethnal green), awesome gym and then £4 a sesh back home. Quite expensive over the year but works out cheaper than joining both gyms.

I can walk for miles and miles, and ski for 6/7 hours a day, but walk up 3 flights of stairs I get out of breath.

As soon as I join up to a gym I will keep a work out diary on here. I loose interest after a couple of months so encouragement will be needed!

wel mate i used to be about 9.5 stone 6ft seriously underweight, joined a bodybuilding gym, best thing i ever did, it became a reason to eat right, once i started to see results it was never a case of not wanting to go, i look forward to my training session all day at work, surround youselv with the right sort of people and motivation isnt a problem.

3 years later im 14 stone with very little bodyfat

steels is good, my mate john owns it, he also does a bit of boxing there.
if you wanna bulk up that would be a good place to go and not far from you.

theres also the cheap gym over at valley park by vue cinema, its £15 a month but its a bit (very) ghetto and is a no fuss place.
