WE ALL love a bargain, but it seems that Reading is a bit flabby when it comes to gym prices.
A new survey from sportswear brand Reebok has revealed that people in the Royal County’s favourite town have to pay a bit more for working out than other parts of the country.
Maybe it’s because they’re Londoners, but they’re the ones who pay the most, on average: £47.23 for the privilege of pumping iron.
The Ding is in second place, coming in at £38.90 per month.
Brighton and Hove, where there’s a marvellous seafront to run along, is in third place at £35.50, while Scots in Edinburgh and Glasgow both pay £33.24 a month.
By comparison, Southamptonites pay just £20.50 – nearly half what The Ding pays.
Liverpool is next for value, at £24.14 a month, while those sent to Coventry pay £24.38.
Of course, while the gym has some great equipment, there are exercises people can do at home for free.
Reebok teamed up with fitness trainer Joe Mitton to share five ideas anyone can do at home.
They are star jumps, squats, press-ups, lunges and crunches.
