I use a council gym and it’s fab. Pretty cheap ($36/fortnight for the top membership which includes reformer pilates) and it’s pretty social too. With really lovely staff and a mandate from council around social inclusion and engagement and stuff. They run events, there’s a cafe, and it’s just a really nice vibe.

It’s not actually my closest council gym though, I travel (a whole ten minutes) to a neighbouring LGA for a shiny new facility.
