Melissa: Scott, have you got those leaflets about health clubs you were looking at the other day?

Scott: You mean the fitness centres? Yeah, sure. Er, they’re here somewhere - oh, here they are.

M: Let’s have a look then. Oh, this one looks good. Only £15 a month! That’s cheap, isn’t it? Sweatshop, it’s called. That’s a good name!

S: Well, but what facilities has it got, Mel? That’s the important thing.

M: Yeah, you’re right. Um, a gym, of course, and weights. That’s all. But it’s in the town centre.

Have you got a pen? Can you jot down the phone number for me? It’s 772438.

S: 772438 … got that. What about the others? You might need more than just a gym to get fit!

M: Do you mind, you cheeky thing! You’re the one who needs to get fit! Anyway, we decided we’d go together, right? No, this one looks better - it’s called Body Matters. It’s got a gym and a pool, and they do yoga, too. It’s £180 a year.

How much is that a month? Oh, wait a minute - it’s the same price as Sweatshop! It’s near the station, so you could come in on the train. Here’s the number. It’s 413992.

S: 413992, right.

Yes, that sounds great, but maybe this one’s worth a look. See what you think. It’s called Fitness First, and it’s out of town, but they do have a free car park, so you could give me a lift, couldn’t you?

M: I might. Depends if you’re nice to me.

S: I’m always nice to you.

It’s got tennis courts, a sauna, a big pool and aerobics classes. But it’s £250 a year. I think that’s too much, don’t you?

M: Yeah! Let’s look at Body Matters again. it’s more reasonable …
