the thing is, i actually don't like the beach at all. it's boring.
i pay about £48 a month for gym membership. that's after work subsidies, i think it's about £75 for normal members. that's virgin. it's the epitome of soulless corporate gyms. there is one place to do dips, and it's combined with the chin-up bar (which is under a low roof so i have to be careful not to smack my skull on the ceiling), yet they can afford about 6 powerplate machines...
i don't enjoy it as a gym, but it's close to work, convenient and warm. and they have free towels. i quite like weight training, it appeals to my inner masochist.
