Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I’ve not been to the gym this week yet. Life… I’m booked in tomorrow and intend to make it a priority.

I should probably anticipate DOMS.

I did body balance off YouTube to Ness before I subscribed. I don’t begrudge the £9 month for Les Mills, as even only doing one core class a week that’s £2 ish, but I really need to be getting more use out of it than that!!

It’s just hard to fit in with running/cycling as well….. I might try doing a 6am class at home on a non bootcamp day but on those days I’m home alone at that time with a nearly 4 year old and I just know that I’m likely to get interrupted by someone waking up part way through! Some would be better than none though…..

I often use a lunch break if I get one for run/bike so that’s not an option.

That’s a good price Mr Ness found, I think I paid about £90 new for my pump stuff but it was still Covid times when everyone wanted them at home!

It was a special offer, Gymfreak. Yes during Covid prices went up a lot. I looked to see if I could get a treadmill and if anyone had them they were ridiculous prices!

I might have a look again at Les Mills, because, as you said, when you think about the price per class, it's not too bad.

Sorry, x-post, Pix. I was the same when working. Only 30 minutes lunch. I used to try and get out and do a timed 1 mile speed walk each day, trying to improve my pace over the week.

Some days I get no break and other days I can take an hour. The hour is awesome when it happens!

The days I’m not doing bootcamp I can’t do anything before work as there is a toddler with me, and after work I do run or bike if I couldn’t do lunch or sometimes again childcare issues, plus some days don’t finish work till gone 7.

Fitting in run/bike can easily be done even with work/family, fitting in 2 sessions a day not so much

If I could do before work every day there wouldn’t be a problem but can’t be done

We all need to just give up work 🤣

Husband home today on a normal office day so I have got a core class done!

Being retired does make it all much simpler, though I do need to be wary of booking in too many social engagements and other commitments or time can vanish as much as when I was working. Retirement also gives the benefit of being able to do things in daylight all year round.

It sounds bad but I almost want to be made redundant so I get a few weeks off! It wouldn't be retirement money but it would allow a break and daytime training which would be bliss!

Pix - and then you could get a part time job and have more time to yourself to train or whatever.

And in case you're wondering about that title, well, I like alliteration and one can be too po-faced about the use of girl/lady/woman.
