Is there anything that puts you off going to the gym or joining a class?

A natural way to answer

What tends to put me off is the cost and the commitment. Memberships aren't cheap, and I'd hate to sign up and then let it go to waste after a few weeks, which is what usually happens.

Key phrases to use

  • pay someone a blind bit of notice — to take absolutely no notice of someone (used in the negative)“I worried I'd stand out, but nobody paid me a blind bit of notice.”
  • go to waste — to be unused or not benefited from, so the value is lost“I don't want my membership to go to waste.”
  • sorted — organised, dealt with, or in control of things“Everyone else seems to have their routine completely sorted.”
