The Hayloft

Nope. Not a fan of this one at all. I didn’t feel comfortable here. It seemed too much was crammed in one space.
Their equipment is fantastic and modern but as a gym, I don’t think it works.
Once, a few of us ladies went for a whole day and had our makeup done, nails and hair. That was great but it was expensive! This is the bit I do not get. This business is positioned in a relatively small town so charging high street prices is a bit mean. It should be more for the locals instead of trying to be fancy and up-​to-​date. I can’t see my Grandma going there for her haircut as the stairs are metal and too steep into the place.

I used to think that I could divide my friends between gym bunnies and those, like me, who detested the thought. I’m much more a fan of tennis, rounders in the park or a quick skip or so, all done ve-​ery occasionally I might add.
The Hayloft, for the few visits that I made (I never signed up, not a convert yet) was relatively painless. It seemed like more of a girl’s gym and now has a hairdresser, yoga and pilates classes, aerobics and sunbeds proving my point.
I literally couldn’t even tell you what equipment I tried out. The treadmill and the rowing machine definitely. But anyone reading this knows more about what goes into a gym I’m sure. There were lots of scary looking black machines. That said, I got a good workout and the atmosphere was friendly as were the staff.
If I were going to become a gym bunny any time soon this is where I would … hop.
