Low Carbon Ringmer welcomes The Toning Lounge to Ringmer. It is in the precinct where Middleton's used to be.
Here are Tracy, the manager (on the right), and Clare, trying out the machines.

Your intrepid reporter has not yet tried the machines. His excuse was that The Toning Lounge is currently only available for women. But Tracy is keeping a list of interested men and is considering opening mixed or men only sessions if there is a market. So if you're a man, particularly with any kind of physical issue like MS, arthritis, stroke etc - let her know.
Access is via a membership scheme, but everyone can have a free taster session. See their website for contact details. At the moment (7th Jan) the phone is not working, because of BT - nuff said. So drop in there, or email them.
As I understand it, toning is very gentle exercise, done for you by the machines. You can, if you wish, gradually increase the resistance, and hence the amount of work you do. it is said to be very helpful for people with various muscular and other issues. Definitely worth a try; I feel quite deprived.
