Halmets Health Club (Dulwich Hamlets football ground next to Sainsburys) has an offer on at the mo, think it is ?3.99 a week or similar.


I personally am a member of fitness first so use london bridge branch on my way to work in the week or walworth road branch at weekends.

I have been a member of the Dulwich College Gym for the last couple of years. It is open in the evenings and weekends (ie when the pupils are not there), which suits people with a Monday to Friday working week. Membership is ?100 (waived if you are an ex-pupil or have kids at the school), with a ?33.50 monthly fee. The Gym is well equipped and also has a superb 25 meter swimming pool, neither of which are ever too busy. Free parking is in the school opposite the sports center.

Another vote for BMF, by far a harder workout and much more fun than the gym (I had been a committed gym user for years). PipD they run loads of classes over the course of the week, both daytime and evening as well as weekends, you should be able to get all the info you need from their website:

Prior to getting pregnant a couple of BMF classes a week coupled with a run or two was brilliant for keeping me fit.

Hi JAGS,


Thanks for the reply. I work full time so I can only work out 6:30am - 7:30am or after 7:30pm evenings - do these times work for this gym?

Thanks Pickle. Had a look at the website but it doesn't describe the kind of stuff you do (unless i missed it). The name puts me off a bit , the idea of some jarhead wanna be shouting at me in his cammo gear doesn't appeal! I started a bootcamp a few years ago when I lived in Nottingham with a friend. Our idea was kettlebell based outdoor training, we would ahve just done it ourselves but it becme popular and now my mate (who is a PT) runs three a week. I don?t need someone telling me I?m maggot to get me going, but do like to train with like minded people who want to challenge themselves.


Since moving here I?ve been going to the one at Dulwich College on a Saturday morning (run by www.bodyfittrainingsolutions.com) which is great but would like to occasionally add a second one in the week, particularly if it was a bit more hard-core (and it would need to be something special to justify the price!)

      Up the reform

      By Sue · Posted

      Those studies are ten years old. I wonder if there is anything more recent. Also, I haven't looked at them, but from what you say,  the studies apparently asked people if THEY thought they were "racially prejudiced". For several  reasons, on the face of it that isn't likely to produce an accurate indication of the level of actual racial prejudice in that sample. Also, how was "racial prejudice" defined? And "racist attitudes"?

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      By Angelina · Posted

      I'd say hold on to it in case you need it. There may be a time when it helps you get around more easily. You'd know if that's easily done, if you've got somewhere to park it etc

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      By Sue · Posted

      I scarcely use my ancient (1998!) non ULEZ compliant car any more, which I have had for nearly 20 years. It is presently  used mainly to take bulky  things up to my allotment or the tip, occasional weekends away,  festivals or  camping trips, and sometimes giving people lifts to and from stations. But that's mainly because I have to pay the ULEZ charge every time I use it. It has been very reliable, is  in good nick and passes its MOT every year. Now, after months without use apart from opening the door to put things into the car, a new battery bought last September is dead and won't charge 😭 I realise this is my own stupid fault for not realising that you shouldn't let a battery completely discharge, and I should have gone for a drive or charged the battery before. I have hung onto the car because I am over the age limit for car share  club type things and car hire companies (though my daughter has just found a website with car hire schemes for ancient people). Also I am not used to driving more modern cars! I looked into getting a (second hand)  replacement when ULEZ came in, and it just all seemed like too much hassle. Now I don't know whether it's worth shelling out for yet another new battery (DUH) . The one I got is still  under guarantee, but only for "manufacturing faults" and I imagine this won't apply in this case. But if I don't I will have to somehow dispose of the car, which also needs at least one tyre inflating, for which I need a working battery 😭 If you don't have a car, how do you manage, especially if like me you are very old (but reasonably mobile, touch wood!) ?  And/or do you have any advice on whether I should keep the car, or if not what to do with it?
