    Talking to somebody a while back, can't remember full details but I was surprised at how low it was, seem to remember it was £20 or less. They charged more but they had to pay quite a fee to the gym for usage.

    also remember to keep a straight and professional face when your super fat client asks you if you can see an inprovment in her weight or if you think she will be able to loose it all

    I like big buts that you can not hide.........

    Forget drinking all that lovely beer... and you can't be ugly with personal hygiene problems.

    Most of them are in there all hours of the day 6 days a week too. Early mornings and late evenings are normal from what I've seen cos thats when most of the clients want a training session.

    If it turns out to be that easy let me know - I'll do a few sit-ups and give it a go myself!
