Listlad BANNED Messages 3,971 Type of diabetes Prediabetes Treatment type Diet only Feb 23, 2019 #2 I thought mine did. But discovered that what mine was doing was simply making good use of an introductory offer of free gym n swim for 12 weeks. I have just paid £275 for a years membership simply to extend the free three months worth. Twice a week for a year for £275 seems good value.

Feb 23, 2019 #4 I know a few years go my GP was able to 'prescribe' access to my local authority gym and six gym /swimmingpool visits for free then another six at half price. I have no idea if they can still do that but i never heard of anyone taking them up on it.
