Anybody a member of this gym?
One opening in Colchester in the very near future and thinking of joining as its 24/7, no contract and only £10.99 a month!
They seem to be quite a decent, expanding company?

Cool, never heard of that one, looks good!
Yeah, i'd expect it to be busy at the price on offer. I have to get up really early for work during the week so my body clock wakes me at the weekend, therefore I'd go 6am-8am saturdays and sundays which shouldnt be too bad. Also being 24/7 I'd consider going at night!

when i go at 9pm its just me usually, and some women who i am too intimidated to talk too 
if i ever have to wait for a bench, i look for whoever is the newest looking/guy who hasnt got a clue and ask how many sets he has left until hes finished with bench, surprisingly they're always on their last

I used to be a member at the local leisure centre which has pools, badminton, squash, gym, the lot. Was always rammed and that used to annoy me!
Been meaning to get back into it for ages as I've turned into a slob since I moved out, this is opening at the right time hopefully!

the way i see it, i pay £27 and use the gym every day, why should some mug who pays £35 be allowed to turn up once a wek and hog bench to sit on and do bicep curls in his skinny jeans

Especially Beats by Dre. Even if there are 4 lads with each other they'll all have headphones on. Whats that about?!

There was a black guy yesterday with his cap half on his head, and his left leg trouser pulled up half way with van sort of trainers on.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?

I don't mind if they're all banging out their sets one after the other. It's when they talk after everyone's turn.

You get this a lot now.
Goes agaisnt old skool gym etiquette which none of these young ass skinny lads have.
for example a group of 4 people taking out the smith machine for 30 mins during peak time is not acceptable.
Train in twos sure, but 4 NO

dropping weights is my biggest annoyance, if your forearms cant cope with putting them back, dont pick them up
