Last Chance Hamlets

[Jamma]

From the bus last night I noticed that at the Dog Kennel Hill gate to the Sainsbury's Park there was an old tyre with the words 'Last Chance Hamlets' painted on to it. I presume it's something to do with the Pink Army, Dulwich Hamlet. Anyone know any more?

maybe its to do with Dulwich Hamlets footie team

It's the promotion that the gym there are doing. Think it's last chance to sign for their special offer. The tyre representing 'lose your spare tyre'.

Looked into this last night. I'd read the fine print. Carefully.

I've been a member of Hamlets Health Club before and probably will be again sometime soon. It's a nice gym that's good value for money. If you join directly (see HHC Site) then the price is:

Single: ?30/month or ?150 for six months in advance.

Couple: ?50/month or ?250 for six months in advance.

This is for gym (any time) and sauna. The minimum commitment is 6 months.

The offer (through Change 4 Life) is ?21 per month single. No couples membership deal. ?15 up front enrolment fee. Lots of fine print, but not much detail on what your membership entitles you to. The sting in the tail is that you are signing up for a 24 month (!!!) commitment.

More worryingly, this offer is being made through a third party - Ashbourne Management Services Ltd. I googled the name and, frankly, I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. My google query is here.

It's a bit more expensive, but I'd go directly through Hamlets, especially if you are a couple.

Well done for the info Loz!

Love this forum for all the help and information we give to one another!

Its an Interesting point that you make Loz,

You are correct Hamlets Health Club is a very good training facility and the club rates are very cheap.

Regarding the special offer that Hamlets are doing, yes it is a 2 year membership there is no hiding the fact that it is a 2 year membership for a great rate at ?21 if you join online, or ?20 if you join at the club. Its a very good offer, all part of the Governments Change-4-life campaign.

This membership entitles you to full use of the gym anytime you like with a full induction and a programme if you require one, plus full use of the Sauna also. You can also include the classes such as spinning and the yoga for just an extra ?5 per month.

As regards to Ashbourne management services, they do look after some of our memberships purely because it makes it easier for the staff at Hamlets to concentrate on other things. They are absolutely fine we researched them before we used them and spoek to many other health clubs and have found this to be a massive benefit.
