Yeah, the 'health centre' places are a waste of space for serious training. You need somewhere more spartan with less machines (except a rowing machine) and plenty of free weights if you want to train really hardcore and be left alone by the instructors. The MMA and bodybuilders gyms might seem intimidating but generally they have a good crowd of people, you can get on with some tough training without interference and you won't be stared at for working harder than the other customers. There'll usually be some experienced people around who can advise you too. Just say no if any of the big guys start offering you pills and powders; they probably won't unless they know you and they won't mind if you turn it down as long as you keep your mouth shut.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Police officers use to be really fit.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View Post
I use to do a circuit training class and I eventually worked out 3 of the people who came were police officers. 2 of them, one man and one woman, were in their mid to late 40s.
They dropped the requirement when some 50 year old police woman took them to a tribunal about discrimination

Ah, I can relate to this thread's figures now. I finally took note of the round numbers I use as a target when I (rarely) use the Concept 2000. I try to keep it below 2:00 minutes per 500m. I don't usually go as long as 20 minutes though.Comment

Best time in recent weeks 21:18 for 5km.
Struggle to beat it though without feeling like throwing my innards on the floor."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
