Most gyms do have classes, Enquire at their receptions for timetable of classes as New Year always the start of gyms hardest part of year! Also check the windows of Aunty Olives shops and other Newsagents for classes held in village halls and other places and check the local press. There are loads, but times may not be suitable for you or type of class you want. See also Bond Fitness, Bakers Gym in Ware (Watton Road) have boxercise and more circuit stuff as well as other traditional workouts. Wodson Park Sports complex has an extensive selection, so ring and find out, they will be happy to oblige you [:)]

Try Elite Fitness, no joining fee, women's Gym. All you have to do is pay monthly, but the only catch is you have to sign a 12 month contract. It is in the centre of Hertford Town aswell, go in and see Carly she will explain to you, nice girl, helpful aswell.

It depends on what you think of high. The cost is very small if you join a gym/sports club, for obvious reasons. The only cheaper alternatives are classes run in village halls, schools, etc who may charge £3-5.00 an hour.. but again, you get out what you put in. A lot of gyms do trials of a week or so at this time of year, so if you play your cards right, you could try out a few in the locality for almost nothing and see how you do. But at the end of the day its down to individual will power, if you want to do something you will... Have a go, I have met some great friends, good social life and my butts toning up nicely [:)]

I really like Cannons. You pay a little more, but you get what you pay for. The classes are good, there is a lovely pool and steam room. I even don't mind using the gym. I really do recommend it[:)]

I agree with wizkid. I'm at Cannons 4 or 5 times a week and also use a personal trainer who is on the staff there and who I cannot recommend more highly. Really good service, the pool is nice and the staff are welcoming and encourageing.

In reply to Sister,not a small fortune to join, how much is membership for the use of the Gym at Canons?

Off peak monthly membership (which suits my shiftwork,) is just going up to £47 per month. I think peak membership must be around £60. I think it's good value, IF you use it. Otherwise it's a very expensive workout and swim!

John Warner Sports Centre in Hoddesdon is £37.00 per month for unlimited use of gym and all classes except Pilates. You have use of offpeak raquet sports (badminton, squash) and also the swimming pool. Again, the more you use a facility the cheaper it is. I think you have to ask yourself if you want to make fitness part of your life or just for 6 weeks to get rid of Xmas Excess! Have a ring around Bakers Gym, Canons, Wodson Park, John Warner - all have numbers in phone directory and websites and see what you like. Have a look, try before you buy and see what New Year Offers you can get. I cannot recommend JWSC enough, on the friendliness of staff and clientele alike... I may not have pine wood locker room doors like canon's but I pay half the price but again, there is a 10 min drive, but free parking and so you do the maths! Enjoy trying the classes at various places.. let us know how you get on...... [:D]

There is also Gosling in WGC. You do not need to join there, you can just pay for the gym or classes as you use them. The facilities are quite good, I've been to most of them, and I must say Cannons is the best.
