To me, more of an intriguing headline than misleading. It does say "Getting active with Virgin",not "Getting active with a virgin", thus, quite different.

 

Personally, I thought that it would be a story about one of Richard Branson's many Virgin endeavours.

Lawsuit will get them all active down at the courthouse ????

Let's respond to the headline and not that boring article about a health club.

There was this virgin in that bar, she was active all day and night but made sure she was still a virgin...

Ok, maybe in another thread. ????

A few years ago i went to the gym in westgate, quite nice too bad there was no pool. Not a bad gym at all, a bit expensive but good. I like how they have things like prowler and other not so common things. 

 

Also when you sign up you can take as many classes as you want (or at least when I was there).

 

In the end went back to my own home gym because it was more convenient and faster. I did not need all the stuff they had there. I had all i needed at home and could exercise when I wanted.

It's perfectly alright to lift a 40kg minx.

This is easy to say when you have a world class gym at your home. I’ve seen your setup! Who goes to any club and pays money when you have what you have? :)

There is the social aspect, but truthfully i just like working out alone too. Nobody to comment on my taste of music or how i set the aircon. If i look like crap in some old training gear nobody will notice.

 

I did like the social aspect, and I liked the area they had for cardio / HIIT style training. But my training sessions got longer (waiting and a lot of talking at the end of sessions). It cut a bit too much into my time.

 

But if Virgin had been open 10 years ago then I would not have bought all the stuff I have. There was nothing gym wise, i had to travel too far.

I personally prefer a 20km distance trek or bike ride, makes me feel better. I do stick with weight training, as it’s all I’ve done since adolescence. I prefer cardio. Maybe I shall grace the sub forum with some input. Your gym inspires me to build my own, opposed to spending time with airheads who spend more time selfies than lifting.

I am the other way around, never really liked cardio. I biked quite a bit when younger as its normal in the Netherlands. I never really liked cardio that much. I try to find things like loaded carries (farmers walks) and other stuff. I do got a rowing machine and elliptical. 

 

But its mentally hard to do so, out in nature would probably be nicer a lot nicer. Lifting weights is just easy for me, I can push myself in short burst and not get bored. 

 

Though I did get bored a bit after not having made any progress for years (few kg of muscle extra). The more you lift the slower progress goes. 

 

I think people should do what they like exercise wise even if its not the most effective way or best way. My rowing machine is better then my eleptical but I get bored faster. I would give up easier.

 

If its something you like (or not hate) it goes easier. And everyone has his or her own preference and all that matters IMHO is just doing something and keep doing it instead of doing something real good but getting bored and stopping.

 

For me it all came together when I started to take care of my diet too, then progress really happened. Should have known that many years ago. We live and learn, never to old to start something and learn something new.

NEVER discount a farmer walk. I live in Ukraine now, so I experience it plenty)
