I think that if there were classes at various different times/days, I would be more inclined to participate. For example, I really wanted to go to Zumba classes but I was unable to find a class at a time to suite me.

I am busy with work and family so this limits my participation in physical activity more than any other possible factor.

It is simply a question of time. I have a lot of demands on my time so find it very difficult to fit exercise in.

If I had the time, I would participate in more physical activity as I feel it is essential to your well being. Unfortunately, I am unable to exercise as much as I would like.

I have exercised in mixed gender environments before and did not have a problem with it. In my experience, everyone at a gym is there for their own individual reasons and do not really notice anyone around them as they are busy working out.

I have previously been a member of a gym but as I have gotten older and busier, I now rely on more organic forms of exercise like walking and playing with my children in the park/garden.

I believe physical exercise whether it be in a gym or just a brisk walk is essential to all as it not only benefits ones physical health, but also ones state of mind.

A) Participating in physical activity and exercise is important and everyone should make an effort to have some sort of physical activity in their lifestyle even if it is just a walk. Even this small amount if physical activity can help to keep an individual fitter and healthier than if they were just to do no form of exercise or physical activity at all.

B) My feelings about participation in open, mixed gender surroundings do depend on the activity/sport that I am partaking in. For example, I wouldn't be comfortable swimming in front of males. But dressed appropriately I wouldn't mind using the gym (treadmills etc) but would feel awkward and uncomfortable using the weights in front of the male members. If I do go to a mixed gym I make sure I am covered up appropriately so I feel more comfortable whilst working out.

My dad has always loved sport and from a young age he has pushed me to engage in as many sporting activities as possible. With my dads support i took any chance i had in joining a sport related team in school and outside of school, however growing older my mum thought it wasn't necessary for me to participate in sport so much as i wouldn't carry it on to a professional level. Because of this i didn't participate in much team sport and started exercising myself at home and at the gym. As well as this, my grandfather is very religious and wasn't keen on the idea that i participated in so much sport, on many occasions he has stopped me from going to the gym as he says that it isn't allowed in Islam due to the dress code and many of the activities such as lifting weights.

Growing up in a family full of sports fanatics influenced me to be more physically active and after a few years of carrying out sports i grew to love the enjoyment and benefits that came with it which influenced me to carry on exercising on a regular basis. However, the thing that influences me the most now is my younger brother, he is 11 years old and is ranked 42 out of 200 in England for squash. In order for him to be more successful and one day become a champion i train with him on a regular basis to make sure he stays fit, however for myself i don't see the need for competitive engagement as i gain the benefits of doing exercise for fun.
