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 thought perhaps going in the morning the weights might be less disorganised. They have someone cleaning almost constantly but I never see staff on the gym floor unless theyโ€™re showing someone around.

From using gyms many years ago Iโ€™m sure they had staff roaming around, especially to make sure you were using equipment properly.

I got a bit excitable when I saw these, but sadly only available in big sizes.

Shame about the lack of size options. They're fab.

Well done DoricQuine ๐Ÿ‘

I'm not happy with my form in some of my exercises at the moment so have decided not to increase the weights I use until I get that right. It's particularly noticeable for my deadlifting, fly presses and close grip bench press.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what my PT has to say

I'm hoping in a weird way that he will push to find my 1RM as I have no idea what I can lift
I know I was 120kg + from memory on leg press but that's it!

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.
