David Lloyd Fitness

[Frankie Price]

Me, Mrs Frankie and my middle daughter are members of Bannatyne's. If you sign up for a year the cost is £39 per month per person which works out less for me than I was paying at the local council gym.
Membership can be upgraded to allow entry into all Bannatyne's gyms throughout the UK.
Equipment is good and well maintained and the swimming pool and sauna areas are kept spotless.
Also there are a few other divers who use the gym which makes for some interesting chat during work outs.
All the members seem to be OK and at some times of the day it resembles a plumbers, electricians and window fitters social club when you look out into the car park. That's up-market for Mansfield I suppose.

I suspect that I will find out from my daughters in due course but what is a Core power plate?

Does your local authority have a fitness facility? I've just joined ours. I get a slight staff discount but for £28 a month I get to use a fantastically equipped gym only a mile from my house. I can also use two other gyms in the Borough. In addition I can use two swimming pools as well. I'm addicted!

Good luck with your fitness quest

I found JJB to be excellent value for money, used to be a member at Esporta and save myself around £40 per month, £28 at JJB vs £65-70 at Esporta.

Gyms are only good value if you are going to go more than twice a week, otherwise go to your local leisure centre.

Bugger! How did you get it for £28? Is that the off-peak thingie they do?

I don't know if they've caught on yet, but if you join the HQ in Wigan then it's a few quid cheaper over the standard rate but you still get to use any gym.

Liverpool City Council have spent loads of our money building a very nice huge swimming pool 100m from my house. And only about half a dozen people use it. Far cheaper than your David Lloyds or whatever and just as nice.

The power plate is a vibrating platform that you stand, sit, lay on and wobble, apparently it's really good for loads of things, nearly had my fillings out when I tried it, gives the old meat and two veg a good old shaking too.

I pay 20quid at Aycliffe gym and it's great, even has a power plate.

Watch any contracts that you sign up to, I've read/watched loads of horror stories about problems getting out of them.

Try swimming, it's great.
