Fran Gets Fit: VVV Ladies only gym

Smiley_treadmill Due to family commitments my Daughter and I hadn't been to VVV health club since before Christmas. We knew that the ladies gym was being moved and last we heard it was moving into the big gym and we weren't too keen on the idea, imagining just a screened off area and having to walk through the big gym to get to it. Finally, we managed to get to the club and we found that the ladies gym has moved to the room that was the toning table room and thus it now has a delightful sea view. Some of the equipment has been removed, my favourite leg extension machine and the seated leg curl machine have gone, to be replaced by the leg press. I suppose I will have to brave the big gym if I want to use them. At first glance it looks as if the new ladies gym does not have air conditioning but I might be wrong. It does sport a TV, something that the old gym lacked, but most of the equipment is arranged to face the TV and not the spectacular view. If you bag the right treadmill or cross trainer you can admire the view but you have to look past other people facing towards you.

There's a new gym opening in town soon, JJB Fitness which will probably do very well, being more central and, as far as I can tell, cheaper but I think they'll find it hard to beat the atmosphere at VVV.
