I'm at Nuffield (ex-Cannons). My membership is off-peak for about £42 per month. My work subsidises 50% so I get it for £21 which is ace.

Off-peak is no use if you want to go after work though. I only go in the mornings before work so it suits me fine. But, off-peak does include weekends as well (I think). Think it's basically anytime except between 6pm and closing time Monday-Friday.

I've a feeling the peak membership is about £60 per month.

That's really near my flat but £42 is super-pricey...

I've heard JJB is about as cheap as you'll get in Aberdeen. But when I was joining a gym, I wanted somewhere I could walk to work from, so Cannons was the only option. Plus I imagine JJB to be really really busy all the time for some reason...?

Ran to work this morning and listened to Slayer - God Hates Us All. Knocked 3 Minutes off my best time. Think tomorrow I might go for Hummingbird of Death or maybe Black Eye Riot.

Yeah, I used to go to JJB - my work gives me money off there - but I no longer live closeby to make it worthwhile (I used to go early before work too). Also even early mornings are really busy. Not a patch on how busy it is in the evenings though!

It's an ace feeling knocking time off a PB... and 3 minutes. Nice one.

I would hope it's cheap. Spending money to run for an hour is a bit daft.

I usually run before it gets light, and I live in the middle of nowhere so running on the road is just plain dangerous.

Plus I make good use of the swimming pool. If all I ever did was run, I wouldn't have joined a gym, but the pool is the main reason I'm a member.

I thought I would give this a bash during my "excercise" at lunchtime which means after I finish my lunch, I sit on a sofa at work and drink a can of fizzy lovelyness and eat crisps while reading some crappy tabloid. Today I decided to catalogue what cropped up on my ipod while I "worked out":

Pantera : Walk
Iron Maiden : Charlotte The Harlot
Megadeth : Sweating Bullets
Municipal Waste : Relentless Threat
McQueen : Break The Silence
Ozzy Osbourne : No More Tears
Rammstein : Keine Lust
Sanctity : The Rift Between
Serpico : Kultura
Sevendust : Praise
Skeletonwitch : Stand Fight And Die
L7 : Wargasm
Mammal : Burn Out
Heavens Basement : Executioners Day
Five Finger Death Punch : Bulletproof
Nightwish : Planet Hell
Soho Dolls : Stripper

So all in all good solid work out music, got me up a fair old sweat!
