Grazza Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Now I just need to get back into it and improve. I'm fairly weak at these, I find it easier when the palms are facing you, but that's going to work more of the bicep. In my current gym, there aren't actually that many areas to do pull-ups. I can think of 3. Only one of these allows you to do them assisted. Should be able to include them into my routine properly now. Yeah, they're tough. Keep at it mate, because I needed about 30-40kg assistance with military wide pull-ups last November. Now I can do 11 unassisted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Can you not join them for a month and test them out? This a no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 This a no? Don't really think that's an option. I'll ask and see if it's possible, but they'll give the whole "we're not a charity, blah blah" line. I've finally done it and have quit my current gym, so that's one less outgoing. The plan tomorrow is to visit this new place and see what it's like. Not even going to bother booking an appointment to view the place, will just turn up and say "Impress me, bitches."

I mean actually paying for a month, that way you can really feel like you're getting your monies worth. Or do you have to have a six/whatever month minimum?

Pretty sure it'll be a 12month contract, as that's what the majority of places do these days. I'll be asking them about all the different options. If there's the chance to go for six instead of twelve, I'd probably go for that. Now I need to find equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 fitness first does smaller length contracts but they're far more expensive. My year contract is 25.99 a month and i think the 3 month min contract was £34! For the exact same thing asides the luxury of cancelling earlier!!!

It cost me £35 per month for a year contract. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, Eevil does have some use after all. :p Went to the club to have a look around. It turns out that it isn't a 12month contract after all. You pay for 3 months, then it's a rolling monthly contract after that. Sweet. There is a joining fee of £100 for one person and £50 for the other, mind. But, a massive plus at the lack of a 12month contract. The place itself is fantastic. Tennis facilities are awesome and the squash courts themselves are good quality. There's a gym that is decent, probably not quite as good as my old one, but it's really an extra for me, if I needed to use it. The drive there did take about 5 minutes to get to, and the car park was free as expected. So, no additional charges there, thank God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And walking there would be even better for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 And walking there would be even better for you It would take around half an hour to walk there, which kinda defeats the whole idea of it being practical. In short, you suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
