Q: What's the busiest times?

A: Usually Monday evenings between 5pm and 8pm (Guilt from the weekend blow-outs we reckon!)  It gets quieter the further you go through the week.  Daytimes are normally less busy.  As in all popular gyms January is the busiest month (New Year's resolutions and all that!).

Q: I'm only visiting Salisbury for a few days - can I just pop in for the odd session?

A: Yes of course, we're very good at odd sessions - so to speak!.  You can simply come and have a single workout, or as many as you like, without any obligations or hassle. There's no induction needed and no joining fee. You simply pay for your session and away you go.

Q: How long does a 'session' last?

A: As long as you can go on for! There's no time limit on the sessions. (If you stay longer than 4 hours you have to make the coffee though!)

Q: What equipment/facilities do you have?

A: We have: 3 treadmills, 2 crosstrainers, 2 rowers (Concept), 2 bikes, 1 stepper, some air-powered machines and all the usual resistance machines you'd expect to find in a gym.  Plus a fully equipped free-weight section, including Power Rack.  And yes... we do have showers.

Q: What's the minimum age for the gym and sunbed?

A: Gym minimum is 13 (To join - under 16's must be signed for on site by a parent/guardian, after that they can visit the gym on their own).  Sunbed minimum is 16.  (Please note: we have no creche or children facilities.)

Q: Do you have parking or a bike rail?

A: Oh yes, we have free on-site parking and a rail to chain your bike or horse to!

Q: Is the gym full of hairy grunting men? 

A: No! In fact we have slightly more women customers than men. (The temptation to put in a joke about 'hairy grunting women' was almost overwhelming but it was resisted)

Q: I'm old/disabled/lazy - will the gym be right for me? 

A:  We have customers well into their 80's, we also have customers with varying degrees of disability and we have the odd customer who admits to being bone-idle.  We've managed to produce the ideal routine for each of them; one that they find fun and motivating.  Give us a ring for a confidential chat about your afflictions - we love a challenge...

Q: Do I have to have an induction?

A: Not if you don't want one.  If you've been to gyms before you can just come in and go for it. There's always someone on hand in the gym to help and watch over you, and we're always happy to give you a quick 15 minute (free) induction if you like.

Q: Do you do one-to-one Personal Training sessions, fitness/dietary assessments and exercise program writing?

A: Yes, we most certainly do.  If you want we will show you round, explain everything in user-friendly terms and set you up with a program card with all the exercises we recommend to achieve your goals. For this service we charge a one-off fee of just £15 and it will last around 45 mins to an hour.  If it's on-going Personal Training you fancy we charge a very reasonable £20 per session - with your first one even better at £15   And... if you haggle with the instructors you can get them even cheaper if you book several at a time... go on, they love that!  (Please note: these fees are on top of your usual gym fees).

Q: Do you have an aerobic studio or do classes?

A: Not at the moment, sorry!

Q: Do you have a swimming pool?

A: We wish...!

Q: Can we just use the ladies only toning plates, or sunbed, without going into the gym?

A: Yes of course.  You don't need to join the gym to just use the toning plates or sunbed.  You can just drop in when you like to use these facilities.

Q: Are the vibrating toning plates any good, and what do you do on them?

A: Yes, they're brilliant! (we wouldn't keep them if they were a gimmick.)  They tighten and tone the muscles very effectively. They make the muscles contract at over 40 times per second.  You simply stand, kneel or sit in various positions for only 30 seconds a time. A whole body toning session can be performed in around 10 - 15 minutes.  We have 3 types of plate to try.  Great if you're new to it all.

Q: What is the meaning of life?

A: Ummm...
