Think the only way i’ll get my finger out is if i’m paying for it. Is it worth the money, or am i gonna sign up and not go?
Who here is a gym tosser? Any glasgow gym tossers recommend a gym?
not really worth joining a gym, imo.
buy yourself some weights, pick up a cheap rowing machine from gumtree, steal a bike and put your feet back into your running shoes. easy
Work pay for my gym membership, I very rarely use it now that I’ve started running outside properly.
not really interested in weights and such, just a bit of cardio and that
well, you definitely don’t need to join a gym for that.

hmmmm yeah i use to be quite good at just getting up and going for a run outside but for some reason that’s fallen away to the poine where i just can’t be fucked. not sure why as i always feel so much better after a run
i do like the idea of a pool though
Running outside > running on a treadmill. Just find your local parkrun and get #involved http://www.parkrun.org.uk/

just go for a swim when you want to go for a swim!
anyway, if you’re going for pure cardio, you should pick up a skipping rope. for real

yeah perhaps. maybe i should just book into some fucking class type thing, that parkrun thing that aggpass mentioned
skipping rope eh?!
Also, see if you can find a casual running club. There’s one in sheffield that has a monthly run (6-7km) ending at a beer shop for a free beer and cake. Much easier to force yourself up and out if that’s waiting at the end.
Or drag a friend along to the parkrun and go for some decent breakfast afterwards or something
hmmm sheffields a bit far ma man

Agree with bird, if you want to do cardio, join a pool. Better exercise than running, doesn’t destroy your legs/feet/knees and tones you up more.
Hitting a gym and weight training is also really great to help lose weight and get into shape though. You also burn calories while recovering/doing fuck all which doesn’t really happen with going for a jog.
To pay money to go on a treadmill seems ludicrous to me.
A while back I signed up for gym membership and, shamefully, it didn’t take long for me to not bother using it. Used the pool / lido but I cba for the gym. Cancelled it. Most of my exercise is running outside nowadays.
I was exactly the same then joined a gym for a year or so and now I’m out the other side and back to scoffing at the gym tossers. Its a journey you need to go on.
