Can we have a health and fitness or diet and fitness section?

At the moment the various exercise and sport sections are spread around the site. For example Cycling is in the "In the Club", "Exercise" and "In the weights room" are under Health. Sport is in Fun and Games and yet there is a separate Sporting Events section. 🤔

There is no easy to find place for the various disciplines to hang out! I propose either a Diet and Fitness forum or a Health and Fitness forum. Thank you!

Yes please, we have been moaning about struggling with cycling since it was created.

Hard to find and not used much.

Hear hear!

Yes please! Cycling makes sense in a cycling club sort of way but I still forget where it is and look under exercise first.

imho, ditch cycling topic & nudge the cyclist threads back to exercise topic.

The cycling section does seem a bit lost where it is as does the weights room. Neither seem to have many posts or new threads created despite the best efforts of some posters.

Exercise seems to be dominated by running so it would seem to make more sense to create a separate running forum.

It could work with a separate exercise forum in the same way as there is a general Pets section with separate areas for dogs, cats and horses.

Not sure the swimmers, Insanity, home-workout, Beach body people would agree that exercise is topic for mainly runners. Wt room ppl seem a bit... superkeen? But I'm not one of them tbf.

I like having a separate cycling section. It's handy that you can start a thread knowing that people will know what you mean when you talk about something specific...
