Default Help - Answer my Poll about a idea I have

On one of the many long rides home that I have I had a idea, but before I even think any further with it I need to do some research. I will be putting a little questionnaire together of my thoughts but first I want to do a little test on you guys.

So have a look at the poll and answer as honest as you can.

Lol, sorry for being impatient, i only just noticed how quickly I must have replied!

Voted No & not interested - there's something I dislike about going to a gym, I'd much rather have some equipment (weights or whatever) at home & excercise there while watching TV or listening to some CDs etc.

Gym? Huge waste of money IMHO.

Get a group of 10 peeps together and book a 5-a-side pitch at the local leisure centre for 1-hour a week - much better and works for me

I've never used a gym since school, nowadays when I get time I get exercise by walking the dogs or cycling.
Personally, I think the benefit of a gym would be more for the 'personal trainer' or whatever they are called, someone who can suggest what exercise, diet etc you need, monitor and condition your progress.
In our tower there is a fully equipped gym for the fire crew which we can use, but I've poked my head inside and it just looks like a bewildering assortment of machines - I would have no clue where to begin.

I hte the idea of a gym. Running but going nowhere, rowing but not getting wet. Lifting heavy objects but no pleasing end result after an hours graft (like...I dunno....getting a set of furniture up some stairs into a flat)

I went to the gym for 3 years, lost 3 stone, felt pretty good. Then, couldnt afford to rejoin so stopped for a year, put wieght back on. Started back earlier this year. After having 'membership' issues, i cancelled, and havent been back since.
Id like to re-join a gum as i like the environment, but just plian cant afford it.
