Bolton was originally a town in Lancashire, now part of Greater Manchester. Many people actually hate being associated with Manchester because this has connotations with Manchester United. The majority of people in Bolton Support Bolton Wanderers, however, some rather misguided people support teams such as BlackBurn Rovers, Liverpool, Everton, Manchester united and even Manchester City ( poor souls heh ).

Fitness in Bolton used to be a lot less commercial with places such as Silverwell Street Sports Center, which used to provide very cheap access to sports equipment, training and facilities. There used to be a gym, cafe, squash courts, martial arts classes, even a shooting range in the cellar. Many people feel that the town lost a lot when that and the swimming pool were shut down. ( only to be replaced with more urbanization projects ). Now, if someone wants to get fit, they normally have to pay a large amount of money at some place like esporta, David Lloyd fitness or other commercial 'fitness clubs'. I am not saying anything against these places, but they are quite expensive and the cost of a personal fitness trainer is quite a lot. I ( the webmaster ) have started training at the elite kick boxing gym with a personal trainer and after just one session i already started to feel a lot better in myself.. you feel like you have achieved something, as you get pushed more, with one on one tuition. The trainer is a qualified Boxing trainer and thus, knows how to motivate you when you feel like giving up. This is definitely the way to get fit.. instead of posing on a treadmill.. get fit with skipping, boxing, bag work and lots of hard circuits.. all this gets you fit and teaches you the discipline of Boxing at the same time.
