This review is for Edit. She instructs yoga classes three times a week. She calls poses by their actual name, she describes how various poses will benefit various complaints(headaches, sciatica, etc), and she throws in new poses regularly. I’ve had various instructors over the years, and she is easily the best. As far as the rest of the gym, I’ve done spinning classes and pump. Both instructors were genuinely helpful and passionate about the classes. I buy 10 trip tickets rather than a membership. Tips: Look out for deals on GrabOne — I got 10 classes for ~$ 70. They also did a deal prior to Christmas last year which I imagine they’ll repeat — 10 classes for $ 100 instead of the regular $ 150.

Although St Heliers and Glen Innes are completely oversaturated with expensive gyms and fitness centres, Contours Glen Innes is one of the few that are women-only. I’m not advocating that sex segmentation is the, erm, best way to work out or whatever, but I’m definitely sure that the environment at Contours was much more enjoyable than that of my previous gym 5 minutes away, which was crowded with pungent-smelling, slightly narcissistic young males who would frequently lift massive dumbells in front of their mirror with their friends(obsessive, much?). Contours is much smaller, and although I had to pay a little bit more than I did at my old gym, it was well worth every penny. All of the classes are well-organised and a lot of fun, and the gym itself is always really clean and tidy, so I always felt like I had motivation to pop down here at least a couple of times a week.
