Well, I just joined the gym for the first time in about five years. I don't have my induction until next Monday, but I'm still allowed to use the equipment 'that I'm comfortable with'. There's also a pool and classes so will try and get some of them in. I'm quite nervous!

    That's great, its a big step but totally worth it. I always thought would hate the gym, people staring, too many mirrors, scarey equipment the list goes on. It's nothing like that at all and I love it now and actually look forward to it :)

    Remember to wear sandals in the showers, too many chances of different types of foot rot!

    I joined a gym five weeks ago. It is scary to start with but I found that going the same times and days especially in the pool I have met some regulars who say hello and chat a little. It's so nice to see a friendly familiar face each time you go.
