There is a gym nearby and I am partially tempted but it's very expensive and I don't like their payment policy - ie pay up front for a year, no refunds. I see that sort of payment policy for a gym as not exactly dishonest but sneaky... cynical... so am less willing to pay, even if I can afford it, on principle... given that a fair proportion of people joining a gym... perhaps on a new year's resolution... won't stick with it the full term. If it put them out in any way for people not to show up... that would be one thing... but it doesn't look like it does aside from perhaps the time personal trainers put in in giving advice.. but other than that it's pretty much like a bus... still gonna cost the same or thereabouts to run no matter how many people use it. So that's just a bit of a sore point with me. It's not that I couldn't commit to it... the money at least... but just the principle of it. There is another gym that I know that has a more pay as you go policy, but it's a bit too far away/awkward for me.
As to gyms in parks... I'll keep a lookout, but I've never seen one so far. Thanks for the suggestion though
