The village hotel at Crewe toll is superb for the money. Really good gym and a lovely pool area with sauna steam room and jacuzzi. £45 a month.Quote:

Nobody tell me I spelled pub wrong!
I think EL is superb value. Gym, swim and classes all included ?Quote:

I'm a bit of a Jim McDonald - should be going to the gym but more often than not I go to McDonalds. [emoji3]
That, unfortunately, prevents me from recommending anywhere - sorry.
Think its £55 now, although if you get a joint membership its £90 for 2 so can still be gotten for £45. If you want you can pay a tenner on top of that to get complimentary towels every visit. Well worth it if you're a lazy git like me who doesn't like the washing machine :greengrinQuote:

Do they still offer a "leisure card" that gives you x% off and you can just PAYG for the pool?
They are doing the ten gym visits, pay for 8 deal, which still works out at £55. Far cheaper and better facilities at Edinburgh Uni at the pleasance which is also open to non students but no pool. It's £6 for an adult swim without a card at the Commie, which is totally ridiculous.Quote:

I have a discount card which cost (I think) £30 and gets you 25% discount, so a gym+swim at the Commie costs me £5.40.Quote:

Bannatynes at Newcraighall has an excellent pool. £33/month is current offer(for 12 months) or £336 for the year-£28/monthQuote:
