    What a good idea, but what on earth is a push up and lift machine? Those poles with spikes at the top look positively deadly!

    The lift machines is where you lift yourself up using your arms & the push machines you use your feet/legs to push yourself back.
    The spike poles will have CCTV camera & a canvas cover on them being fitted today some time xx

    Excellent facility, although if it's unsupervised there's always the danger of someone doing something silly!

    Is it free for anyone to use? Very good for anyone who can't afford a gym.

    Can't see the point of a treadmill outside - better to run round the park I would have thought!(Though I suppose there's no danger of being chased by a dog on a treadmill!)

    We have several of those machines dotted around the local park. They are totally unsupervised - and very underused, except for propping up groups of youths! If they had given us an enclosed dog area, it would have been more useful.

    We need one of these where I live! This is a brilliant idea.
