I could do with finding a decent walk in gym down cornwall way, heading down in july to see the girlfriends parents

and ive already said Im finding somewhere to train as Ive had enough hold ups the last 5 weeks and need to keep this cycle up.

These fancy gyms are a nightmare because they dont allow you to walk in and when they do charge you a silly amount for an induction on a treadmill Evil or Very Mad

cheers

Those aren't stable mats but stable mats are ok. In the photo you can't see the 8 x 4's under the mats hence they look thicker.
