Gym Review Aberdeen is an extremely affluant area with a population of young people, all keen to keep fit. As a result the gym market is varied and vibrant. The usual chain gyms appear. David Lloyds, Living well and DW sports As welll as these chain gyms there are a number of smaller, independant gyms which offer niche fitness services. These are all of varying qualioty One of these gyms is tucked at the back of a large chain hotel is Breakers Leisure Club. The club has around 400 local members but is also used extensivly by corperate clients within Aberdeen’s oil industory.

As this gym is part of a hotel expect to encounter hotel guests during the week. However at the weekend the hotel is considerably quieter so this is not a problem.

The Club’s facilities include a gym (the largest hotel gym in Aberdeen, a fitness studio with classes such as martial arts, spin, body pump and yoga, 1.3 metre swimming pool, saunas, steam rooms and a beauty spa.

BREAKERS LEISURE CLUB @ DOUBLETREE

BY HILTON BEACH BOULAVARD ABERDEEN As perviously mentioned the gym area is large, however the equipment is beginning to become slightly dated. All cardio quipment includes televisions with SKY TV. Sadly the reliablility of such equipment can vary.

Luckily the club has a team of engineers who can fix any issues quickly The club is blessed with in house fitness instuctors who can tailor fitness programmes to members.

The clubs martial arts classes are conducted by David Harrold, one of the most qualified and respected martial artists in the UK. This gives the club a personal feel.

As expected this all comes at a price. At £49 for a Full single membership and £85 for a double membership it is not the most expensive gym in Aberdeen. It is however almost twice the price of nearby DW Sports. The club justifys this by providing little perks for members such as towels and discounts on beauty treatments.

In conclusion. If you want a gym with leisure facilities that your family can use. This club may suit you. However if this does not interest you. You will still be charged for facilities that you may not use.

FAST FOO

Is it ever OK?

Lets face it, sometimes we just can not be bothered to make anything to eat. We may have had a hard day at work, be away from home or just feeling lazy and fancy a treat.

In 2003 journalist Mogan Spurlock decided to eat nothing but MacDonalds food for one month following a string of court cases against the American giants.

There are however people who do not fall into one of those catagories. Some people eat fast food every day as part of their stape diet without realising what they are putting into their bodies without realiing the content of their food and the harm it could be doing to them,

The crazy diet had a profound effect on Spurlock’s health.

In less than a month he had gained over a stone, experianced sexual health problems and came close to pickling his liver.

The UK; Scotland in particular has terrible statistics when it comes to our health. As a country we were the inventors of one of the

We love a kebab in this country.

However few people realise that the average kebab has over 1,000 calories.

If that doesn’t put you off some doner meat then mabye this will. Last year in Russia a kebab vendor murdered a man and served him in pita bread with optional salad.

As a result of Morgan Spurlock’s MacDonalds experiment. The company removed it’s supersized option from British menus. Their biggest competitor Burger King kept supersized meas as part of their menu.

The festive season is approaching, and the fast food companies are keen to jump on the bandwagon.

MacDonald’s are offering the festive Deluxe complete with Festive pie.

These are meant to be enjoyed as a treat in the run up to Christmas.
