Health & Fitness
Despite their reputation as couch potatoes (largely true), the British are increasingly waking up to the benefits of fitness centres and healthy living. In recent years a number of high quality fitness centre chains have sprung up around the UK, with most having numerous sites in London. Most have a swimming pool, cafe, and additional services such as sports massage and personal trainers.
Most fitness centres will charge you a joining fee, and then a monthly fee which will probably be direct-debited from your bank account. Prices vary wildly - as do services offered - so do shop around.
