    Hi! Well I had my appointment at the gym today. It was interesting. She took all my measurements and (surprise surprise) told me I am carrying excess fat (really?!). She said that as long as I stick to coming 3 times per week that I will get the results I'm after. She tried to sell me their eating plan but i'm not interested in that sort of thing, I eat well I just need to get off my butt. So she took me around for a session and I now have 3 free sessions to see if I like it. It went really fast, It was a bit weird when on the recovery spots as you just do what you want. I was warm and heart rate up by the end...and thought oh yeah.,.but I am now starting to feel it and my arms, legs and tummy are starting to ache...a tad worried about how I will feel in the morning! So i'll do the 3 free and then see. The 30 minutes is appealing, to be able to get a proper workout in that time frame makes life much easier with a little one. But their opening hours are not that great and the no child care could be a problem (only cause of their opening hours...they need to open later). Would love to hear if anyone has been successful with them? Thanks!

    Hey Kim, thanks! I will use my 3 free sessions but i'm thinking it won't be the right place for me...i haven't been able to go again this week due to work and next week there will only be 2 opportunities for me...so may not work. We shall see. I have a friend that is keen to join the gym, the original one i was looking at so that may be the way to go. thanks!

    Mum has been advised to stop now...she is disappointed though. She has 2 bad knees and some of the equipment isnt doing her any favours now. So Dr said stop.

    Oh no! Hopefully she can find another form of exercise that is more friendly to her knees that she enjoys.

    Walking and an exercise bike is what her specialist has said...so she brough one yesterday. Also needs things in her shoes....once she can get her feet and knees ok then Curves will be ok. Needs 2 knee reconstructions too...but was going so well til now!
