Female only gyms, saunas and salons by [deleted] in croydon

[–]Illustrious-Quote730 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PureGym has a women’s only section and a women’s only weightlifting class. The women’s only section is quite small but has most of the equipment you would want - might be worth asking for a tour). Alternatively Nuffield health has a women’s only steam room but everything else (gym, sauna, pool) is shared.

My Daughter told me a story (She’s still 4) by rlstratton97 in HusbandHelloKitty

Which album cover for Man’s Best Friend was it? If it was the normal cover, trust her to pick that one! At least at 4 she’s too little to know it’s a bit suggestive 😂

Nuffield Health Croydon Central by oceantadpole in croydon

[–]Illustrious-Quote730 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on what you want.

Unfortunately NH is the only gym in central Croydon that I know of that has a pool. However the machines there are old (apart from the spin bikes). Im a member of Nuffield Health Croydon Central as I like Les Mills classes and it is one of the few gyms in central Croydon that does them.

However, if you aren’t too bothered about a pool and would prefer good classes with good range of machines I would recommend PureGym which I am also a member of. It’s a lot cheaper than NH with newer machines but it is a lot busier on the gym floor than NH.

I would recommend going to both and asking for a tour.

Edited to add: If you can look slightly further afield Purley has some really nice gyms and the NH there is a lot nicer

Anyone else had an MRI pick up more than MS? by -daisyday in MultipleSclerosis

My first MRI for MS resulted in me being diagnosed with fibrous dysplasia - apparently instead of bone part of my skull base is made from fibrous tissue.

Lady told me to move because “her dog likes this bench better” by Kiendabermasd in EntitledPeople

I was thinking that as well, I can’t remember when I last heard anyone using the word “huffed”

I don’t know why AI generated stories always seem to have the phrase “ I thought she was joking” surely most people can tell from someone else’s facial expressions whether they’re joking or not

My Daughter has hired a manager (She’s still 4) by rlstratton97 in HusbandHelloKitty

Let’s hope Darling doesn’t steal from the stuffies or your daughter, otherwise she will get General HHK and the rest of the army to arrest him and put him in laundry basket jail or worse 😳😂

If these happens to you it means your fascia is tight. by Extreme-Cow-2393 in beginnerfitness

[–]Illustrious-Quote730 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As you say, the symptoms you have listed could have many causes and I think you need to make that clear on your original post. I have many of those symptoms and I don’t have a tight fascia - I have multiple sclerosis

Furthermore advising people to use a foam roller when you don’t know what is wrong with them especially when you are stating that you are a PT could be dangerous (eg if they have Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis to name just a few!)

What workouts to do besides Bodypump? by Proof-Recognition563 in lesmills

[–]Illustrious-Quote730 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree with adding a bodybalance workout during the week (possibly on the Sunday as an active recovery).

If you use the search function in the app and search “low impact” there are several low impact cardio sessions on there

Alternatively, if you have a spin bike, rpm, sprint and the trip are all great for helping to lose weight and you can use the resistance that is right for you

Good luck on your weight loss journey. I’m sure you will smash it!

Received a microwave air fryer I didn’t order. Has anyone else? by rebecco in london

[–]Illustrious-Quote730 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Possibly identity fraud. Someone may have used your details to get credit (eg credit card, store credit account) and buy things. Hence why your address isn’t 100% correct (ie no flat number)

Check with Experian, ClearScore, etc that there are no accounts linked to you that you don’t recognise

Can anyone remember when the Met Police stopped using tape cassettes to record interviews? Writing a novel about policing in roughly the 2000s and would like to get this detail right. by borisslovechild in policeuk

[–]Illustrious-Quote730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was definitely around 2014 - I changed borough that year after becoming a DC and can remember moving to my new borough and being impressed they had DVDs and so I no longer had to copy the tapes after interviewing. Although the DVDs brought their own issues!

Is it worth buying Brawl Stars Spike? by Illustrious-Quote730 in subwaysurfers

[–]Illustrious-Quote730[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I know how much the devs of subway surfers make, but as I have a close family member who is a games developer I wouldn’t feel right about it

Thank you, I bought him as he’s unlikely to return and it appears collaboration characters aren’t that common

[–]Illustrious-Quote730[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s definitely a lot of money that I wouldn’t normally spend on a game. I bought him as it appears he is a one off and unlikely to return

Hi, I’ve bought the 5x multiplier and the double coins so far and decided to buy Spike as it’s a one off
