Hi all,

Dh is in the forces (for another couple of months before leaving, yeah!) anyway he has been away serving since 3rd November and has been spending a lot of time at the gym. He has got himself into a really good routine and would really like to keep it up when he comes home.

I have been having a quick look around but to be totally honest I havent a clue what I am looking for.

We dont have tons of money to spend so cant get a really expensive piece of equipment. I have found this the Marcy HG80 multi gym on sale at tescos for £99. Here is the link;

direct.tesco.com/promo/?id=S00008274

Am no good at links either, so hope that works.

Anyway, if your wife bought this for a surprise, would you be happy with it? or rather she hadn't.

Can u point me the direction of any other good multi gyms/benches for a decent price?

Thanx in advance,

Pink

Things like this don't make good surprises as he may have his eye on something specific, if you get him that he may feel obligated to use it when it isn't quite right for what he needs.

Find out how much you local council gym membership is and get him a taster membership.

Exactly as growsome says - local councils gyms offer the best value especially at the moment as they are doing deals to attract the post Christmas guilt.

Thanx for your advice, have decided to wait, it was a nice idea but I think thats where it ends. I'd hate to get him something he couldn't use.

Have you tried getting dumb bells say second hand and maybe a bench. That could give a pretty good work out, and it would not take up much space.

How about signing him up for a free session with this instead www.britmilfit.com/ as a surprise. It might inspire a new career direction too! Good luck!
