We are on the lower side of our 40's. The chest press was brilliant but we both thought that old people on the ski type of equipment will be fatal - lots of broken bones and hips I should think. To be honest it is a waste of money and a bit of a dinosaur. When we arrived there were a couple of kids messing about on it only too eager to show us what to do. I can't see how it is going to attract the older members of the public, who would be better off with a free gym pass where they can be looked after and advised on using the equipment correctly. I believe the National Health will be picking up the bill for the extra broken bones, slipped discs and pulled ligaments. I believe that this venture really isn't money well spent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-73612701036673785892011-03-21T06:37:42.712+00:002011-03-21T06:37:42.712+00:00Learning to keep your weight down is crucial and y...Learning to keep your weight down is crucial and you can get important information on weight loss topics and fulfill your dream.Outdoor gymhttp://www.caloo.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-60489092896515928602011-03-19T12:46:44.665+00:002011-03-19T12:46:44.665+00:00It seems that some people agree that this probably...It seems that some people agree that this probably sounded like a good idea in a TMBC council leisure services meeting on a Friday afternoon but will it get very much proper use? It was possibly a good way to spend that extra pot of money at the end of the financial year. But was it value for money for the community charge/tax payer? Unlikely I'd say....Tonbridge bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242621868186419096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-41879055707709077242011-03-19T10:21:59.524+00:002011-03-19T10:21:59.524+00:00These thing get a lot of use in a place like Calif...These thing get a lot of use in a place like California with its all year round sunshine but I can't see too many people stripping off to the waist to use them in Tonbridge.<br /><br />I walked through the park the other day and saw these contraptions and the only people on them were kids working out how best to use them as benches.<br /><br />If TMBC really want to combat the weight issues of the population they should make the Angel Centre gym free to use.AirRaidPatrolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12890742485392439713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-88347052417447747032011-03-17T22:02:31.604+00:002011-03-17T22:02:31.604+00:00Had a good go on it all the other day.

All other muscles can be worked through bodyweight exercises, but then the masses probably don't realise that.<br /><br />I wonder if anyone has actually used it for a real workout yet.. All I've seen so far are a few groups of curious people trying to work out what each one does.<br /><br />I actually did a blog post about it a few weeks back (with photos).copy7thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07869260780729697873noreply@blogger.com
