i fucking hate the personal trainers at my gym,
they stalk around looking for new clients, harrasing me in the middle of a workout to see how i am, not because they give a shit, but because they'tre checking if i want to sign up. As good as they probably are, i just wish they'd get the point that i just want to come in, lift and go home.

They are far too lazy at my virgin
God help you if you need a bit of assistance with a machine. But this place is proper scary fancy, I have to see a physio, dietician and personal trainer 4 times a week for 8 weeks. Eek.

on a serious note,
my one is very well decked out, the gear is all fantastic, and they have a great weight section etc, and i imagine if you were on a program you'd do really well with them, but they clearly only get paid by the client or something as they are like vultures.

Do they have a virgin in Oxford now? When I was there, they didn't
Thing is, if you know what you are doing, as I think you do, it's annoying. Like "may I help you" in a shop

i wouldn't mind advice on form for lift, as even with mirrors you can't see all round you,
or the offer of a spot on the bench, but i get more help with that sort of thing from other members.

yeah, used to be Esporta on the woodstock road, it's a virgin now.

Ah yes they bought esporta a little while ago
You is correct
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 9 Jul 2013, 20:40, Reply)

i quite like that despite the fact they've stripped nearly all evidience that esporta ever existed,
the hair dryers still have the little esporta S to mark the temperature.

Even Weston has a Virgin Active now.
I haven't ventured there though. Aside from the fact that it looks like it might involve 'exercise', I bet I couldn't afford so much as a locker rental in that place.

lockers are free,
but you have to bring your own padlock, or buy one from them, for a fiver.

May I help you?
'Yeah, can you pick this up for me, it's fucking heavy'.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 9 Jul 2013, 21:04, Reply)

you joke young jeff, but i've had to do the embarassing, drop the weight on my chest and roll it on to my knees and sit up with a failed lift.
if one of them was on the ball, they'd have spotted me.
