Default DW Sports Gym

Just been for a tour as i'm looking to join a gym.

Very Impressed with it nice looking place , sky sports on the indivisual tv's , i signed straight away.

The changing rooms are very posh compared to the gym's i'm used to.

i did have a look at fitness first but full of polish and turks.

plus 10% off JJB

anyone else a member

One recently opened by me on Plas Coch, solid oak locker doors, optic lighting all over the place, huge gym area, it is very nice.

The problem, when you want to actually train and in doing so look a complete mess, it is made difficult by having good looking women about not breaking a sweat (to look good) mingling about.

I know this place in Wrexham will turn into a social/pickup establishment, rather then some where to actually get fit.

So, I signed a two year contract.

I didn't really.

Looks very nice. We have one up this way (never been in), but it's a bit far to travel, plus I can't really afford to join a gym.

A new leisure centre has opened just up the road from me, (about 15 mins walk) so I think I might check that out in the new year.

we used to use our local leisure centre, but it was a pain in the **** to get on equipment and the pool was only at set times. surprisingly it is the same price at dw for the two of us as it is at the leisure centre

How bad did it make you want to sort the front room out

In style, not put loads of lockers in there for a laugh.
