Can’t see the harm in using your phone between sets like. I’m going to sit for a minute and rest anyway, why can’t I look at the group chat or news etc.
I’m not talking after every single set like.
It’s mad how much it winds people up.

I find people rush their sets so they can look at their phone rather than the other way round. It’s funny watching some people.

Just dosser craic and kills the vibe, how can't people not look at their phones for a two minute rest period? Baffling stuff, weak minded and lacking in motivation. Same as in the pub people staring at them instead of socialising and experiencing what's going on around them kills the craic.

Wonder what David Goggins would say to someone on their phone in between sets.

It’s not cheap DL like, I’m paying £73 a month for platinum. I’m doing a lot of swimming though and love the steam room. Saturday morning I do gym/swim/jacuzzi and steam then have my breakfast there. Thinking of joining the squash club. Perfectly fine after work in peak times. Just up the road so can also go on my lunch.

JD I think was £21.99 a month. Complete write off between half 4 and 7. Just can’t do specific muscle groups as it’s a case of just go on any machine that’s free. Far too busy. I was finding I was going and rushing through a session as I didn’t want to be there.

That’s crazy that. I make sure I go at least 5 times a week. Sometimes 6. Just so I know I’m not wasting money on it.

Had the 14 day trial recently and loved the swimming/spa side of it. Bit the bullet and signed up. Not cheap but will review after a year. Good thing is I can get there in 10mins so will go on lunch when it’s less busy.

For those who go to JD, they’ve installed new equipment in the middle, replacing the white pin machines. Too little too late for me. It’s been a pain since covid. Haven’t replaced the TVs, equipment always breaking down, ridiculously busy at 5pm and people just abandoning their cars right outside the door just got on my tits.

Looking forward to a new gym and hopefully rejuvenating me a bit as I was a bit stale at JD.

The bourgeois side of me misses DL, but in terms of the actual gym side of things it’s a bit basic tbh. I pay 1/3 of what I was paying at my current gym for 10 times the equipment. No hot tub though. 😀

I agree the gym is a bit basic at DL. I do struggle with a specific muscle group so have had to add other stuff in. Still enjoy it though.

Just joined at the weekend. Andrew told us there is gonna be a refurbishment over the winter. Expanding the sauna area and updating changing rooms.
 
I go to Everlast, pool & sauna and the gym is decent. Haven't come across many dickheads and only £30 a month
