    Hey all,

    Well my gym membership is up in november, I am currently a member in total fitness clare hall, I cant fault the gym but have major issues with not been able find dumb bells,s with them either tossed all on top of each other or just missing or in some other area of the place! seems to be mostly with the 14kg weights but that not really the issue, just fed up with spending 5 - 10 mins trawling around the place trying to find equipmeant! there are notices up etc to replace free weights but even at off peak times (when am mostly there) its still an issue, I tend to just avoid peak time as your falling over one another like new born hamsters.

    Proberly a long shot, its most likely a problem in a gym,s but I figured if it was a lifting focused gym perhaps the people using the equipmeant would leave it as they would like to find it,
    I dont use machines like threadmill, bike, only the pool and cross trainer, and free weights

    am in the swords area, can travel within reason




    thanks for reading =)

    Can a mod please close this thread now....that's the most positive comment we've ever had....I want to preserve it forever.

    You guys all realise that anyone and everyone is welcome to come down and have a look or just have a poke around.

    You also realise that when I was personal training and doing consultancy work I charge €105 an hour...and got it...and now what happens is that people come limping in carry bags of Kit Kats or donuts...and start filling my face while bringing me coffee and get all the same answers they used to pay a fortune to hear for free.

    Why did you stop, did barry save your life and now you owe him a lives service or something?

    I was working in the Premiereship in England and in Scotland...doing what everyone thought was a dream job and being paid outstanding money....I stopped because I hated every minute of it...hated everything about it. I wish I liked it...I'd still be doing it. The personal training was the similar...I just didn't get a kick out of it...I wish I did...I bet my accountant does as well.

    I took a punt that in the long term doing what I am doing now is going to pay off personally and professionally...that's my story...and I am sticking to it.

    Why does everyone think I'm the one calling the shots here? I'm a mess I can barely remember how to tie my shoes most days.

    Will started informed performance to spend more time with me.

    I made the travel from swords to Informed Performance in 30 mins today in the car. My vote goes firmly with IP.

    A pet hate of mine. The ignorance of some people is astounding!
