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.

Earlies and lates and 6 days a week? Fook that!Originally posted by DaveBI know, thats what stops me getting quite so jealous of the money they earn.
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.
