REVIEW

The gym I go to - “Frank’s Fitness Centre” – is a nice place and Frank and his wife are kind-hearted people. In fact , the whole staff at the centre are friendly. And that’s the problem. The gym is good that everyone wants to go there, but there isn’t just room for everyone. I don’t think Frank thought carefully about how successful the gym was going to be. Last year was fine, but this year there are many members it fit in a small gym. You have to wait a long time to be able to use the equipment. A twenty-minute wait to use the press bench is just long for me ! I don’t have time to stand around and wait. So, I’m going to leave Frank’s and go to another gym. It’s a shame, but if I find a gym that nobody else likes , I’ll be able to use the equipment whenever I want !

The gym I go to - “Frank’s Fitness Centre” – is SUCH a nice place and Frank and his wife are SO kind-hearted people. In fact , the whole staff at the centre are SO friendly. And that’s the problem. The gym is SO good that everyone wants to go there, but there isn’t just ENOUGH room for everyone. I don’t think Frank thought carefully ENOUGH about how successful the gym was going to be. Last year was fine, but this year there are TOO many members it fit in SUCH a small gym. You have to wait SUCH a long time to be able to use the equipment. A twenty-minute wait to use the press bench is just TOO long for me ! I don’t have ENOUGH time to stand around and wait. So, I’m going to leave Frank’s and go to another gym. It’s SUCH a shame, but if I find a gym that nobody else likes , I’ll be able to use the equipment whenever I want !
