Today I have my last workout out there then I'm ending my membership. I'll be saving £50 a month. Go me.

I'm lucky in that our local (council) gym is fairly reasonably stocked with a good sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Some of the staff, one in particular, are good too. And it would only cost me £13.50 a month to be a member as I work for the council under discounted Flexible Fitness. Cancelled it though - weddings are expensive!

Its expensive but i cant knock them really, the instructors at mine in worksop are always very freindly and helpful, good equipment and its never that busy when i go, but i know it does get quite busy in there during peak periods which would drive me mad.

very poor customer service in my experience, you can complain, but nothing will be done about it

Has it got quieter in there since the new leisure centre gyms have opened?

I think that is very reasonable for a joint membership. The 12 month contract is a pain, do any gyms do monthly memberships?

I like Duncan. Just re-reading his autobiography and it's awesome.

I tried to end my membership as I'm off to TA training soon. They told me I have to give them 3 months notice! And write a letter to them stating why I'm ending my membership. What a load of bs.

Anyone watch Dragon's Den? The owner of this gym is on there. I can't stand those type of people, always trying to get your last penny from you.

*very offensive sweary goes here*

Stop your direct debit. ASAP.

will he not then get a black mark on his credit score? If its in the contract that you have to give 3 months written notice there isnt much you can do and stopping the DD so they sell the debt to a collection agency is a bad idea

I told them I'd do that but since its in the contract I'd owe them it anyway. Sneaky way of doing business.
