    Apparently not entirely true , as they always complain about the availabilty parking in relation to their membership costs. odd really as I am guessing they certainly have plenty of money left for food....
    [slightly bitter as these people are normally spoiling a perfectly good training session for me]

    I always wonder what's the point? They always seem to hog the machines too.
    To be fair though, a friend of mine pointed out that a lot of these people are women would prefer to jog outside but they get too much unwanted attention from builders/ drivers/ beer boys etc & feel more comfortable on the treadmill.

    OK, I know you'll post it soon enough, so let's just get it out of the way:

    Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

    Can highly recommend it. Best machine on the market. Take a look at their website for some training programs too. I believe it was late eighties when they first gave them to all members of the England’s rugby squad, back in the amateur days. Their fitness went skywards and the results went the same way. The other great thing about it is it’s durability; it’s used by Olympic rowers day in day out, who produce a lot of power, and if it can cope with that it’ll easily cope with the rest of us farties. The cheaper ones will break as soon as you reach a good level of fitness.
