Oh My...I've got a home Gym!

So since moving out to Oxford and living with the boyfriend (yes I've grown up - more on that later) I had to leave the lovely Easy Gym in Slough, with it's £15.99 no contract membership and it's lovely orange walls. I now live in a city and work in a business park and the only nice gym that I have fairly easy access too is £80 a month, so it was either run the streets of Oxford (but it’s getting cold and dark) or build my own little home gym.

Our first purchase was the Cross Trainer – I’ve always been a BIG fan of the cross trainer – as it is the only machine that makes you run. I’ve been on it a couple of times and I can tell you we grabbed an absolute BARGAIN with it. It just like a cross trainer you would find at the gym but not bulky. However you cannot all go and buy this bargain because I got it off eBay, so it’s a one off. there are some great second hand gym equipment going on eBay, so I encourage anyone looking to get any type of gym equipment to have a look on there first before heading over to Argos etc.

The next purchase was a set of weights; I’ve got 2 dumbbells and a long bar and 25KG of weights to distribute between them, these were only purchased yesterday evening so I can start my training to becoming the next Jodie Marsh (though I think she used slightly more than 25KG).

In total my home Gym has costs me £100….which is one and quarter month’s membership for the fancy Gym opposite work and me and K can use it (though he’s still yet too!).
