Karter, We have space for 100 more members at the moment. And more when we open up the new pilates studio on the first floor. As for the steam / sauna which I know is dear to your heart, we have ascertained that it is structurally feasible and have drawn up plans. We now need to raise some more money before we can do it. The plan is to do the work in the autumn (all being well). Max

snoozequeen, I don't think it's the size that counts with freezers. Small is just as good. Just might take a little longer to get through freezing your wardrobe. That sounds very fnar fnar somehow.

We have the little blighters too and just about keep on top of them by: 1. Squishing 2. Vacuum sealing clothes 3. Putting things like cashmere jumpers in bags in the freezer (it kills the eggs).Odd but it works. So the only solution is to invest in a chest freezer and tip your wardrobe into it.

We did a lot of work with the local residents before we submitted our planning application. We held an open day and showed them our plans and listened to their feedback. We're not really that noisy to be honest. We don't play much music, no tvs The only noise comes form the air handling unti and that has been positioned to extract onto the alley beside the building to minimise noise levels for residents. Do you live on Bassano St?

It's the capital outlay that is the issue with the steam / sauna Karter. It will cost circa ?40,000 to install sauna/ steam including the structural work required. Due to the problems with the contractor, we had to pay out a lot of money to fix various things that the contractor messed up so we have no spare capital at the moment. To answer your quesiton Nero, the ventalation will deal with the extraction of the steam and so it shouldn't heat up the rest of the building. It's very hard to predict the weather at the moment and alter the temperature of the bulding accordingly The tempareature is centrally controlled although we have had a few problems with the extract in the bathrooms, again due to the idiot builder we had.

Weekend membership is ?39 single or ?69 partner. You can use the gym and go to any of the classes at that rate.

Hello all, The current timetable is on line here http://www.esphysicalhealth.com/go/memberships. Karter steam room by mid summer I hope. It's depends on how we do in terms of income.

We (esph East Dulwich)are starting a creche after the half term holiday (Week beginning February 18th). Tuesday and Thursday 10-12 initially but we will extend it if there is the demand. Come down and have a look (membership discounts for forumites) - 116 Lordship Lane.

Come and join esph East Dulwich (116 Lordship Lane). Our gym is run by physios, we have lots of classes, brand new equipment and lovely showers. And forum members get 10% discount on all our membership prices (no squash courts sadly). Come and take a look.

Hi Edenial, Class timetable will be on the website by the weekend. Really sorry for the delays but we've had a bit of a nightmare with the site. The company we commissioned to do it went bust and screwed up the code and it's taken us ages to unravel. Thanks for your patience. Regards to all. Max

I completely agree with your comments about the visability / lack of it. We have had a few problems presuading the landlord and the local authority to allow us to put up signage, partly because the entrance to the building is in the side street (Bassano St). We think we have approval now (although we are still waiting for official consent from Southwark). And so the signage should be sorted soon. Thanks for the feedback.

We have a few offers on at the moment. The 10% offer for forum members is for all of 2008. The 50% is for the first month. So if you apply your discount to the full gym membership, it comes down to ?71.10 per month for the year which is a better deal than 50% off the first month's membership. I'm afraid you have to chose one of the offers. Hope that helps.

Hi Karter, Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Standard daily rate is ?15. 10& discount for forumites. Come and have a look around and see if you like us. Best wishes, Max

Should have mentioned the discount myself really....Apologies crepe suzette. 10% discount for the whole year. If you wanted we could give you a trial one month membership which comes with the full screening with one of our physios and you could see if you like it and take it from there. Max ps love the user name by the way.
