Fitness Link 3***

Lean mean machine

While you won't find customised fitness plans or personalised attention here, you'll get professional advice from trainers on the right way to use each equipment in the gym and for what purpose.

Just click on the muscle group you think needs the most attention and voila! Fitness Link recommends the equipment you should use. Drawback is, you'll need to have access to a fully-equipped gym to put to good use this advice.

An informational Nutrition and Diet column dispenses advice on dieting and healthy eating. At a loss as to how to cook healthy? Check out the many healthy recipes.

A community page, the Juice Bar, allows fitness-oriented individuals to exchange ideas with one another through forums, or find a like-minded friend.

We found their interactive Body Mass Index and Target Heart Rate calculators very useful.

Most ingenious is the Active Log, which allows users to create a personal exercise schedule and keep track of exercise goals. You can even send yourself reminders to go to the gym.

The Women's Locker Room is also addictive, with a personal-care column and a question-and-answer segment with American exercise guru, Denise Austin.

The site loads painfully slowly, so you better have a fast modem or broadband access before you even venture in.
