Hi folks,


I moved to East Dulwich around 3 months ago, and have to say how much I like the area. Lots of good pubs / restaurants, and seems a thoroughly decent place to live (especially compared to East Bristol where I used to reside...not good...!)


Anyway, I'm looking to join a gym in ED, and one that doesn't require me to sell a kidney to keep up with the monthly payments. I've scoured through the forums and read about people's experiences at various gyms, and ESPH sounds great...if out of my price range. Is anyone a member of the Hamlets Health Club, and if so, what's it like? How much does it cost to join / per month? Any other gyms worth looking into (preferably around ?40 - ?50 a month...looking to go after work / weekends).


Also, any musicians / photographers on here? Been writing / recording music for years (not professionally, unfortunately...) and recently got into photography. Would be good to hear from other like minded people.


Thanks a lot,


Dan

I'm a member of Hamlets, I joined a few weeks ago. I think it's great, it's about ?25/month and there is no joining fee. The gym isn't very fancy, but has all the usual machine's and weights. The people are really friendly too, and it doesn't seem to get very busy.


Prob worth dropping in, it's right next to the big Sainsbury's.

Hi Nicky,


Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I only noticed it was there last week while popping into Sainsbury's and wondered how much it was...I'm only looking to use the treadmill / rowing machine and free weights, so it sounds ideal (do they have free weights there?)


I'll pop in after work tonight and have a look.


Cheers,


Dan

Hi Alan,


Great idea - however, bit concerned that my girlfriend might find out, and then proceed to sever my testicles off with a rusty knife (she's threatened it, believe me...)


?150 sounds great, but then again, so does sitting on the couch eating chocolate cake and breaking wind. Hmmm, decisions, decisions...


Cheers...!

    • Sorry Malumbu, but to say that Pakistani men are being 'demonised' is disgraceful. The men in the rape gangs were predominantly from Pakistan - that is a fact.  To suggest pointing this out is victimisation totally undermines the horror that the predominantly white young girls suffered at their hands. The men exploited this, using their nationality as a shield, and told their victims they wouldn't be believed. And they were right - some of he brave people who did call it out lost their jobs.  To deny there is a strong cultural element to this, so as to protect your fear of being seen as anything other than liberal and progressive, is disingenuous at the very least. And to suggest that calling it out is far right is insane, I'm sure plenty women and girls of Pakistani heritage would agree.  That Jenrick and Badenoch have picked this up and used it as a political football is a really disappointing start to the year, though at least today's debate in PMQs was respectful in its tone. But for the victims to have this glibly brought up and used to bait the other side just goes to show how little some of the protagonists really care about them.   
    • They like the warmth of roads and pavements, they are quite common on car parks and school playgrounds.
    • Just up from the co-op, going towards Goose Green, a wagtail bird was flitting about on the pavement. It wasn’t worried about people walking along and then another one joined it and both flew over to a cake shop pecking at crumbs.  Never seen one before and was nice to observe.    
    • Spotted 6/7 different piles all around East Dulwich on my lunchtime walk.  Fully behind bringing back medieval punishment for this sort of thing. Nothing that would actually harm anyone but every Saturday morning put the guilty culprit in the stocks on Goose Green and launch rotten veg or their dogs sh*t at them. £1 a go for the baying public.  A punishment that would make people think twice instead of a fine which clearly isn't much of a deterrent.
