benkei Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 To the people who go to the gym here, what is it usually like on a Bank Holiday Monday? Packed? Empty? Normal? I still intend to go, but what is the best time to go? Do other people tend to have bank holidays off? Or use them as a bonus day when they can train at a time more suitable to themselves? The gym I go to isn't that big, and don't want to be queuing for ages waiting for machines and equipment! I'd prefer to go when it's relatively quiet.

Kranz Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 First thing in the morning..... when people are still having a lie in, or nursing a hang over My gym is at work, so no issues with overcrowding as its normally just me in there Best thing is I get paid to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRACIE_LOU Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I've never had a problem with gym on on BH, you find alot of people are either away or on days out with the family etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 The gym i use in ipswich is always busy i dont see amy change even though its a BH weekend. Best time for me to go is at 19:30 because everyone goes straight after work i think its always mobbed from 5 till 7ish. early mornings would be best if you could manage it tbh.
