Answer
A: I want to lose some weight. What do you think I should do?
B: Well, why don't you join a gym?
A: I don't know about that. Isn't it rather expensive?
B: Yes, it can be, but you would have access to all the fitness equipment and exercise advice from a trainer to help you so you would lose weight and get fit in a safe way.
A: Do you really think that would work? Doesn't it get overcrowded at peak times?
B: I agree there are disadvantages, but you could go in the morning before college.
