If you join now, you can get one month free membership, which is open to anyone aged 14 or over. One of its branches is near the King Hotel, which is not far away from your home. It opens from 6 a.m. to midnight every day. So it is very convenient for you. Whenever you are free, you can go there. They have very good equipment and there are 35 classes every week, including yoga, aerobics and swimming. If you want to know more, you may call 5555, 4567.
