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!

Nice one, Meglet :-)

The spit and sawdust gym is £25 per month and £5 per session. At the moment I’m going once per week - at most - so not a member (much to the manager’s disappointment). I’d need to know I was going to stick with it long term before I’d switch over to just this one.

PT got back .... 10 sessions £350 or if I could scrap the money together (I think I will start saving!) 20 for £600

no need to pay for gym and he would give me plans for home

will definitely sort something out

a year at the gym with no help is £380

He's not that close by but if I run/walk commute twice a week as I have been then the money/petrol saved would be what I use to see him so no extra cost as such!

I think that's pretty good

Pix - sounds like a lot of dosh. But it should be great value for what you will gain from it.

I'm lucky I pay £282 per annum and as much help and advice as I want.

When I first had sessions with him 14 years ago he charged me £35 an hour so he's kept the same for me as I keep going back
he used to do sports massage for Leicester county cricket club
and trains semi pro triathletes (having won Iron distance triathlons himself as a pro)

You won't be making any excuses at that price. You'll want to have 100% value for money.

Sounds very reasonable, Pix, I should tell my PT that’s the going rate!

I thought it was RH
especially as he's not just a gym PT if you know what I mean he trainers runners and triathletes so has experience of those who train and compete rather than just go to the gym

ION I did some core work this morning :-o

I had an odd moment when I couldn't actually work out the opposite hand leg thing and kept moving the same side only! I had to actually concentrate in what limbs I was moving.

I think I was doing them right in the end!!

I also did some planks and was shocked that I couldn't hold them very long ... I never could but I'm back to square 1 which is to be expected I guess!

Only issue as such was that I did this first thing and body wasn't impressed with doing core work whereas it's been OK with run/walk and strength

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.
