I'm looking to join a gym, as I used to go to the Moat House gym at Norton which I really liked but since moving, have gone on and off to Don Valley, which I don't really like.

I need a gym that is quite near the city centre (as I cut through here when going home from work) or towards the Attercliffe/Handsworth end of town and would prefer one with a good range of facilities including a swimming pool. I would actually prefer one in a hotel, as council run places like Don valley and Ponds forge are always packed out and facilities are sometimes restricted if there's an event on. I know the Hilton has a gym called Living well, does anyone have any idea what this is like? If any of you go there can you give me some idea of the prices they charge. Or if you know of any other gyms in that vicinity please let me know.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Used to go to LivingWell a couple of years ago - very nice place. It did get very busy at times though, particularly early evening.

I now go to Sam Jones at Crystal Peaks as it's just up the road. Again a nice gym, but the only downside is the lack of a pool :-( Lots of classes, sun bed and suana though.

You'll be paying £40 or more a month (off-peak may be cheaper) no matter which one you go to.
