fella Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I've basically started going to a local gym, and was wondering which gyms people use, if any?And if anyone fat, lardy and mardy wanted a gym buddy?Might even make your motor go that little bit faster if you shed a few pints off...

Matty j Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Still time to leave I know of so many left a mark the owner is a titIf you forget your towel or swipe card he won't let you train and if you leave your belongings out of the locker and with you at a machine he stops you from training again and he only picks on blokes, he's lucky he's not been put on his backside I'd you search cliffords gym on google you will see comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fella Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I doubt I'm gonna have any issues if I'm honest. I live round the corner so all I'll be doing is using the rower for cardio. I won't even be touching the free weights until I lose a few stone!

fella Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Well I've dropped from 24 stone to 14 Rowing machines really aren't much good tbh I think it depends a lot on the person. I've got a sprained knee in recovery so the rower is ideal. A treadmill is a no no, because running is too high impact. i did a mile run last night round the block and I felt terrible in my knee by the end of it.Downside of the rower? I've been twice in 2 days and already have 2 hands that make it look like I spend too much time with myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STiG Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 lol I dont run for diaorhea! screw that its pointless, just running there to turn round and run back. Maybe as well stay where you are!Change of dietary routines and habits, mealtimes etc and a normal working day are more than enough. I'll be back in the gym in the next few weeks but using Mackworth College gym. Its cheap. £18 a month or £3 per session. The staff are great and will help, advise, spot you whenever you need it and it has a good range of kit. Its used by a lot of powerhouse bodybuilders too who will always help you.And the bonus is that its part of the College and the fit 17/18/19 year old girls doing sports therapy etc courses go in a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fella Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Haha, sounds great, but I'm enough of a pervert as it is without needing the encouragement.Diet has crashed. Chicken fillets today. And sadly not the ones that get slipped into bras!And yes I hate running. I do need someone to either go to the gym with, or get the staff to benefit me a bit more. I do go in when it's quiet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
