Finding the time to exercise is a challenge in itself; it doesn't need to be any harder by gyms…read moredictating what time you need to be there. As a person working in hospitality, my work hours are very unpredictable. Naturally, I was pleased to hear the opening of 24fit - a gym I could go to at any time I wanted to fit my own lifestyle. As the name suggests, the gym is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are personal trainers and staff in the gym at particular periods of the day, but it's open to members whenever they wish to access it. The equipment is state of the art and brand new, with a range of weight machines, free weights, treadmills and much more. They also have cycling simulators with which you can race with someone adjacent to you. It's like playing a videogame, only you have to put in all the work that the cyclist is doing on the screen. It's a great way to rule out the dread of exercise and turn it into a fun activity. The security is top-notch and is a necessity for a gym that is unmonitored by staff for the majority of the day. Members gain access using an electronic keyfob, and a camera armed with face recognition software will alert personnel if the keyfob is being used by anyone other than its owner. Emergency panels are also ready inside in the case of injury or danger. The other week my girlfriend and I used the same keyfob to get in, as I'd forgotten mine at home. The next day she received a call from security staff, informing her that someone had entered the gym with her device. Despite the false alarm, it was incredibly reassuring that the security personnel is on its toes!

And I've gotta say, it's quite an experience. I'm between gyms at the moment. I've probably sunk a small fortunate in testing out gyms with which I have no membership. I guess I'm afraid of making a commitment, or I'm waiting for one to jump out at me. So far, I'd say 24fit is dancing quite happily at the top of my list. The facilities are great. All the equipment is in mint condition and very easy to use. I've a friend who has a membership here, and I heard about the place from him. I've so far attended twice and have had a huge amount of fun racing him on the virtual cyclist races. I've a feeling if I had a membership at this gym I'd build up my legs quick-smart. A great, fantastic gym. If you're looking around for one like I am, you might just settle on this one, as I'm most likely to do.

I joined when this gym first started up because the marketing campaign was uber-persuasive, and I thought it would be nice to get fit in a low key setting with other birds. Plus it looked pretty cheap. What I found was a small circle of equipment that was so low impact I could barely feel myself moving. I think I was the only woman there under forty and perhaps the machines were at the lowest setting to reduce impact for older ladies, but if that's the case, should I not have been warned by the staff that maybe it wasn't for me? Anyway, after two sessions of circling around and yawning with boredom I went back to jogging. It's free, and at least I know for sure I'm exercising.

I have been a member since March 2012 and have been going there at least 3 times a week (when I am in SA since). I recently made my 100th visit and got a super awesome (slightly garish) t-shirt! There is no contract, lovely people, fun programs and best of all- NO MIRRORS (yay!). There aren't too many members so Wade, the resident trainer is always there to help, offer advice or just chat about music, movies or any thing really. If you live around this area I would 100% recommend the EFM at Rostrevor and even if you've never considered joining a gym before- (as I hadn't at the start of the year) you may truly surprise yourself after you meet the lovely people here! And if you're still not convinced, remember the wise, wise word of Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde; "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands"
