Good Health Clubs??

I would be very grateful of any information about good health clubs in Sheffield. I have tried looking but i keep coming across gyms rather than clubs.

Cheers

We have had another post like this.

I used to be a member of esporta, its the best by far, but expensive. I assume it is this type of thing you mean?

They have loads of different classes, Boxercise, spinning yoga etc etc

Here is the post

Could you be more specific as to facilities etc that you are looking for. For example. Are you looking for somewhere that offers beauty treatments etc.

I was looking for a club which has good gym facilities, pool, sauna, steam. Beauty treaments would be an added bonus but not really essential

Fitness First has no Pool, that is why its cheap.

Virgin are opening one soon on Broadfield Rd. Heard they are good

I really can't understand why all of these Health/Fitness Centres are springing up everywhere. I think they are really expensive. Surely it's gone past saturation point already? Even Sheffield isn't big enough for all of them is it?

I think you're right there lickszz. I believe that its more of a social thing to

a lot of people,and there's nowt wrong wi' that. However, they do seem very expensive unless you use the facilities quite regularly, say 4 times a week. What I've always wondered is why do people drive(say)5 miles to a

fitness centre, then get on a machine and run 5 miles, or whatever?

Am I missing something here? Still, if it satisfies people, why not? I still have this feeling, that there are far cheaper and better ways to get(and keep)fit

I am more of a backstreet small gym man myself (Old School). These Fitness centres are not my style. If I go to work out then I want to work out not watch TV while I do it....If these centres are used as social places then that's great.

I go to Hillsborough Leisure Centre and I find it is reasonable for how much I pay.

I pay £25.99 per month this price means I can use the facilities anytime. It is only £19.99 per month if you can get in the day.

With both these prices you can use Hillsborough, Ponds Forge, Don Valley and Concorde.

At all of them there is a gym, swimming pool, sauna, steam room etc...

I don't think you can really beat this for value for money.

Ican't argue with that ,steelblade. If you're happy with it theres nothing more to say. Are these places privately owned or Council?

They are run by the council.
