It’s just up the road from us and we drive past it every day so it was inevitable that we would wander in one day to have a look. I’m talking about the Health Revival Gym in Longford. I’ve always been suspicious of places like this and this one is even attached to the local football field so I suspected it would be frequented by muscular, athletic types who would show me up.
However, the last physiotherapist I spoke to strongly recommended I did some regular exercise and Marilyn was keen to get her fitness back so we went in to see them the other day. It’s run by the local council and has a number of staff to support people taking part. It’s very well-equipped with various rooms including a stadium. We met a young woman called Crystal who got us on various machines and made a rough assessment of our fitness. She’ll draw up a fitness plan for us and keep an eye on our progress.
We’ve signed up for a couple of supervised classes which are held on three days a week but, depending on our enthusiasm, we can access the machines at any time
There’s a fee, of course, but it’s subsidised by the Council and is very reasonable. We even get a key to the front door so we can do our workout at times to suit us. The problem now is sticking to it. Good intentions can only go so far.
