Weight machines and pool?
I still think the local swimming pools are much better value for nearly everyone though, usually £3-4 a time.

Agreed in principle, although I don't like swimming due to contact lens/blindness issues
I've got free weights at home which work out cheaper as a one-off payment but obviously don't give you the range of workout options that the machines do

It's a lot closer than my nearest decent pool, which I'd have to drive to.
But it's just so fucking rank, it's filthy and the staff are such retards.

Free weights are all you need for any workout options.
In fact, you don't really need weights, if you have a chin up bar then you can do most every sort of strength exercise using your own body weight.

Unless you're Bobby in which case your body weight is too great to use.

The main advantage that I can see of doing free weights, or indeed the treadmill, at home
is that you can choose what's on the telly
