Fitness clubs are effective
motivators. They should motivate us and not frustrate us. Before you choose on
a fitness club, make sure that it suits your needs and goals. And before you do
that, you should first learn and decide on what is your priority. By then, you
will know what you really need in a fitness club.
Here are some guidelines you can
consider in choosing a fitness club that is best for you:
1. Where is it located?
The location is the first thing
that you should consider when finding a fitness club. If the club is far from
your home, you will just another excuse not to work out. It is best to find a
facility that is near your home.
2. Are the employees friendly and
nice? Will they be able to help you reach your goals?
Make sure that the instructor has
the necessary experience to work with you. The instructor should be a certified
professional that can work with you safely and effectively.
Your instructor should also know
if you have physical limitations or you may find an instructor that is well
trained to work with you. You can also check the age of the instructor
especially if it is one factor for your motivation and learning.
The staff should also be helpful,
friendly and professional. You can also ask the services they offer and find what
is important for you. Some facilities have their own dietician and physical
therapists that can offer services for you.
3. Are the facilities and
equipments good and will they be available anytime that is most convenient for
you?
Check if the equipments are
enough for all members. Otherwise, you will waste your time falling in line and
waiting for your turn. Also make sure that the facility is open during the time
you are most likely to do work outs and exercises.
4. What kind of programs does it
offer?
Find time to see what programs
are there for you and check if they suit your interests. Do they offer group
classes? Choose the facility that offers the classes you really like. You can
do a trial class to check it out if you want.
5. What is the schedule of
classes and will they be convenient for you?
Find out what classes are offered
at a specific time and consider if you will be available at the schedules
given.
6. Are the members of the club
friendly and can they be your friends?
The fitness club is also a venue
for social interaction. Take time to drop by and meet the members of the club
before you enroll. Other members can be your buddies in the near future and
should be considered.
7. Is the entire facility well
maintained, clean and safe for you?
Machines and other training
facilities should be in clean and in good order. If you see a lot of "out
of order" signs, it could be something to think about. Modern equipments
are safer and more comfortable to use, so you may also want to consider that.
Are the floors cleaned regularly to avoid accidents? Is there enough room for
everyone? Also check if the facility is located in a place away from danger,
consider also if the location is well lit.
8. How much would it cost you?
It is important to know the
monthly membership fee and what it covers. Some fitness clubs have hidden
charges and you should be keen in checking that. Check if they have promotions
or discounts and do they offer services at an extra fee. It is also important
to know how long the club has been and how often they increase rates.
9. How is it different from other
fitness clubs?
Don't just stick into one fitness
club. Try to visit as many facilities as you can and make a comparison. Then
you can just narrow down your choices to the facilities that met your needs and
priorities.
10. What do people say about it?
Take your time to gather feedback from other members. Ask them what they can
say about the club and let them tell you about the experiences with the
facility.
Choosing a fitness club is just
like shopping. Do not be pressured and do not try to contact them right away.
You can take your time to review and gather enough information if you are still
not sure which one to choose. Once you have made your choice, enjoy and make
the most out of it.
