can anyone help me in finding a friendly/cheap club. need to lose baby fat!!!!!! rather shy about going to these kind of places so need somewhere very friendly.
I am new to area so no friends really to go with, a friendly atmosphere is what i need

I'm new to the area as well and looked at a couple of clubs. Fitness first was my favorite. No swimming pool but you can use any FF in the country they also do a limited no. of fitness classes I think it costs ~£30. Esporta (something like that?) costs more ~£50 but has loads of classes, a swimming pool and is a MUCH nicer.

I went to FF for a trial afternoon but decided that it was sooo boring and I probably wouldn't use it. As for the atmosphere, I went on a Sun afternoon so there weren't many people there. The receptionist told me it's quite social on week nights though.

I'm gonna start capoeira soon as a way of keeping fit toned and meeting new people. If you're just looking for someone to enjoy the evenings with PM me and we can be newbies together!

Hope I've helped :thumbsup:

Oh and, what IS baby fat?

Hello - what is capoeira ?

Kinda martial arts dancing thing. lots of kicks, flips and summies.

I've not done it yet but intend to. I'm off to 'tricks n flips' tonight for soem gymnastic fun!

Baby Fat, speaks for itself, had a baby 3 months ago now need to lose the weight i put on when i were pregnant with her

Try Ponds Forge - they do a membership for Fitness Unlimited - you can use Hillsborough and Concord too. Good value membership and choice of gyms, pools and fitness classes.

Good luck!

There is a good Body Combat Circuit Training Class at The Source, they Train 6pm both MOndays and Tuesdays. The monday class is an easier beginners class and the Tuesday Class is alot harder. You will burn twice as many calories as you would if you used a gym (over 1000 on the Tuesday class)

£4 to train.

i use greens gym just off ecclesall roud and have found it to be brilliant!!!!!

I think one of the more underrated fitness centres is very good - my local, upperthorpe healthy living centre

has a pool, a small but very well kitted gym, and various aerobic sessions weekly.

its the cheapest gym I know

if I remember correctly (its been a while since i went) its 6 pounds to join, and be inducted, and 3 or 4 pounds to use the gym/pool indefinately for the evening

if you're entitled to a splash card (student or on any form of income support) the price drops a fair bit too.

friendly people, just up the road from Infirmary Rd. tram stop, and well priced

how much is greens a month? does it have a creche?

no creche im afraid- but its about £40 a month to use anytime :D

if you need a creche try virgin active off abbeydale road - about 40 quid a month i think

yeah- virgin is really good i hear but its more expensive than all of them.

I'd say that Esporta was the most expensive, it's 54 pounds per month. Unless anyone knows somewhere more expensive....
