Hi Michael. I think that the closest crossfit to Edinburgh is crossfit fife. I don’t think that there’s too many places where they’ll be keen on vomit or worse!

Hi Brett, I just stumbled across this page on one of my many short layovers to the UK due to the Volcanic activity in Iceland. Do you know of any crossfit gyms in Edinburgh? I have been doing crossfit for a while now i suppose so i can use what i find in gyms but an environment where it only crossfit people is more encouraging to risk vomiting or loosing control of bodily functions if you knwo what i mean. Any info will be useful

Okay that makes sense. My 2 year old swallowed a fish bone and
I got scared when I saw that other post about dying from a fish bone.

Hi Angela,
Unfortunately I’m not in Argentina any longer - I’m working in New Zealand (sigh). With the pricing, it does seem to depend on who you get on the day, and how well you can make yourself understood - if you can speak fluent Spanish you’ll probably find it a lot easier!) I paid cash up front so I knew exactly what I needed to pay and didn’t have to give bank accounts and worry about direct debit; if I wanted to join for a year they might have wanted more information. Though as I mentioned in the post, they seemed pretty casual with the paperwork compared to other countries. You seem to be in luck as far as pilates classes are concerned - check out their website. I hope that this helps - if you want any more information about Buenos Aires let me know.

Thanks for the Info Matt. I’m an Aussie, just arrive in BAs and living up the road from American Sport . Have already found the Argentines giving inconsistent pricing for things so wanted to know what to expect before signing up! Are you still in BAs? Did they have pilates classes and equipment there? Thanks, Angela

Hi Brittney,
Fortunately (or carelessly), the gym I joined didn’t ask for a doctor’s note. I don’t know if Always Club carried out any checks when you tried to join, but normally a doctor’s note is only required if you have any risk factors, like high blood pressure. If you are healthy, then I can’t see why it should matter, though they may be trying to cover their own backs. In this case you may have to look at getting a note from a local doctor. How good is your Spanish?!

I moved to Buenos Aires from the states in March and have been looking into joining a gym. Today I decided on Always Club but was told I need a note from a doctor. Where did you get your doctor note? Any advice on getting a doctor’s note would be much appreciated!
