Good news. The ladies only classes have stopped at my leisure centre.

The mind boggles.

Just come back from trying Zumba.
When I went in a lady said I was likely to be the only man in the class but she said I was most welcome.

Frank

Rubbish Frank, you'd look fetching in one of those little netball kits, or perhaps you're not a team player?

janeainsworth

I think I am a little bit old for Netball.

Frank

frank Have you thought of taking up Netball, just for a change?

Well, I'd say just mind your own business Frank. You've got your own way at your centre, let go......!

Quite.

Hi Ana

There may be no men at presest who will be affected by this class but there may be one who works shifts may want to join this class in future.

I have been told they had a men only class a few years ago at this centre but nobody attended it so it was closed.

Frank

Frank - you sound like a man on a mission - but are you really such a spoilsport? For heaven's sake, it's as if it's become a point of principle now, can't you live and let live?

Now you're just getting silly, Frank. It's four miles away. Your classes are not affected. Perhaps the men there aren't as obsessive as you are about men's 'rights'.

Hi Riverwalk

We would like to have it closed down but there are not enough of us.
It is on a Tuesday morning at 10.30am.

Frank

Aargh! The zombies are here!

FFS!

They'd better get a move on before you and your pals have it closed down.

Frank....you're priceless!

I have just found out they are keeping 1 ladies only class open at another centre about 4 miles away.
There is no direct bus to it but any ladies who want that class could go there by car or bike.

Frank

We had a tape recorder at school.
We did not do things like bunny jumps in the secondary school.
We did things like the grapevine and plank.

Frank

Then it became 'Modern Educational Dance' !

Music and movement for infants and music and movement for juniors - the teacher used to bring the school radio wireless into the school hall and we did things like bunny jumps.

Gosh Jess I taught that!

It was called music and movement when i was in infant school.

I hope this thread goes on forever - it's the funniest thing I've read in weeks (well, since the last time I read the thread)

It's not the fifty years that have done the damage, it's the Bums and Tums classes.

Condemned to a life of penal servitude in the Bums and Tums class....

Hi absent

It was called Keep Fit 50 years ago.
The names have changed over the years but I think Bums and Tums is about the closest equivalent.
I was sent to this class. I had no option.

Frank

HUNTERF I cannot believe that anyone who suggested a keep fit class to you or anyone fifty years ago – which sure as hell was never called bums and tums then – would actually give a fig what you or anyone were doing all these years later. Btw Do you feel like revealing your waist and hip measurement to show us how much benefit you have derived from fifty years of bums and tums? Or not – it doesn't matter.
