I live near Wigan and Skelmersdale. I am interesting in taking
up the sport from scratch. Therefore I'm in the process of
finding a reputable gym/club, as close to me as possible, that
is willing to train a total novice. I have done some research
and found quiet a few but they aren't so close. I would be
willing to travel but only if they come recommended.  Please
give me some feedback on the following places:  Fighting for
Fitness, Golborne  Powerbeck, Leigh  Colosseum, Farnworth
Colosseum seems to be 'The' place but I'm unsure how they'd feel
about a 25 year newbie walking in the building? Fighting for
Fitness comes across a little 'McDojo' but who am I to judge.
Any suggestions of somewhere closer to home would also be
appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
