    why dont you just do it on your own? cant understand why you would need to be in a group. sure you are hardly going to be chatting away to each other anyway.

    Training in a group is much better than on your own, particularly when starting out.

    Hi Nicola,

    I live in carpenterstown D15 and would be very keen to get involved, had a baby 6 months ago and have been very lazy about getting rid of the weight, if this goes ahead would you mind letting me know?

    Look forward to hearing from you
