This is the gym at Hartham pool - I think you should be able to get info on EHDC website or by calling the pool Good luck

Public sector marketing at it's finest! Nothing on the EHDC website except for a passing reference to swimming; Stevenage Leisure (who run The Matrix) fetaure it on their website but all the pages are blank, except... http://www.stevenage-leisure.co.uk/CentrenbspLocator/HarthamLeisureCentre/tabid/592/Default.aspx ... and nowhere do they refer to it as The Matrix.

Hanbury Manor supplies a towelling robe with membership. Do you get a leather coat with this one and serial port installed in the back of your neck?

The other Gym is Cannons, which is near to Newland Gardens. Newland Gardens is the development that was built on what was the old Addiss Tootbrush Factory on the Ware Road. I would guess this was built after you moved away?

Still the price of many fine leather coats and a half decent sports car, last time I enquired.

The gym at Hartham is not called 'The Matrix' anymore .... it is called 'Hartham Leisure Centre' .. If that helps?

No problem - you can also pick up free day passes from Cafe Rouge and many other places in Hertford. Cannons seem to be on a big recruitment drive at present - so take advantage - the pool there is lovely [:)]

I am a regular Gym user (I have a three times a week habit,sometimes 4 ) Im interested in Free weights, cardio and perhaps the odd class such as spinning. Is there a sauna & steam at Cannons ?

There is a sauna and steam room at Cannons. Many other classes that are included in Membership aswell. Also, stuff for the kids.

It gets better and better... So, whats the sp on the charge for cannons, you never get a straight answer over the phone.

Cannons usually charge about £55 possibly more for peak rate usage ie: after 4pm daily and weekends.. (only time most working people can attend!), it may be less if you sign up as a couple or only use off-peak, which means you cannot use it at the weekends at all I believe. This is why you cannot get an exact answer, they tailor make the client to fit their gyms!!! Not the other way around! You do get what you pay for and I prefer to pay less than Cannon's but more than Matrix or whatever they call themselves these days!

OK, thanks for that.I guess I'll just have to turn up and face the music, however armed with "Well Drama Queen of Hertford.net says its only £3 a month..." will help the negotiations. BTW, why Drama Queen ?Is this a reference to a Dramatic society in Hertford ?

Ha, ha... yes, and if you believe my boyfriend, my diva like tantrums too!!!!! yep I do a fair to middling amount of dramatic stuff.. so it sorts of suits me and my personality.. although really, I am a nice lady!!! [:D]

Well in that case I may have to introduce you to my other (and slightly better) half.She is quite into the dramatic side of things too.
