When a new gym opened down the bottom of our hill some 8 years ago, Jiajia and I popped in for a quick look but were put off by the price and their insistence on a long-term commitment. But recently JD has been asking to see the fitness machines and the small pool and, to cut a long story short, charmed them into giving us a cheap 5-visit price - £25 total for the two of us - plus a free session to start with. So JD and I have been doing an hour's run and a half hour swim lately. We both need to lose some weight!
