GymsGetting fit should come with a health warning, warns PJM. "In my pursuit of the body beautiful, I've broken three exercise bikes and two running machines, concussed myself and, most distressingly, bruised my testicles." And he's yet to try and get out of his contract...

I used to be a member of a chain called Total Fitness.They were quite good. Then I moved house; my nearest TF is about 15 miles away, while Fatness First is a three-minute bike ride. There was, I thought, no competition.
Silly me. Were there another gym within a tolerable cylcing distance, I'd be there like a shot.

Yep.And it was horrendously stinky - never cleaned, mouldy showers, hair all over the floor, deafening music, TVs that didn't work (tbh I took a book there anyway, it's quite easy to read on the cross-trainer), with broken windows.
The worst thing about it though, was the fact it gave away a free copy of the Daily Mail to every gym-goer, every day. Urgh.

Could have been worse.It could have been the Telegraph.

I have seen all these things at FF.*retches*
I wouldn't take a book, though: I don't think I'd be able to concentrate. Plus, people in my part of Manchester don't entirely trust those who can read and do so for pleasure.
