I don't know about you, but it took me years before I got
up the nerve to join a gym. I had seen too many TV shows
and read too many books about how the gym was a place to
see and be seen. In my head I imagined all the women in
the gym to have hard bodies and tanned skins. They never
broke a sweat and their hair always looked perfect no
matter what they were doing. I did not think I would ever
have enough nerve to join a gym, but I finally did. I
could not get the workout I wanted at home. It took me a
while to find the perfect gym but this is what I looked for.
One thing you might want to keep in mind is if it is a coed
gym or a female only gym. You might feel more comfortable
in an environment with other women rather than in a gym
that is mixed. If you are not sure what you would prefer,
then make sure you check out both and compare the following
If you have never step foot in a gym before, they you might
not be able to tell a good gym from a bad gym. So where
do you start in your quest for the perfect gym for you?
First thing is to look at location. Is it near your home
or your work? If it is, great that means it is convenient
for you to get to. If it is not, do not even bother looking
at it.
The next thing to check out is the price. Joining a gym
can be expensive so really watch out for prices. There are
some gyms that might have extra options such as a sauna,
racquetballs quart, etc etc. The cost of these is what
might that one gym so expensive. Are you going to use any
of those amenities? If not find a different gym and make
sure it has what you are looking for. For a decent basic
gym, the average rate is between $30-$50 a month.
If at all possible, see if you can get a free class or a
trial workout before you sign up. There is no better way
to see if you like the atmosphere other than actually
working out there. Not only will get a feel of the
environment you can also check out the quality of the
facility. Is it clean? Are the locker rooms kept clean
as well as the showers? Also check out the equipment, is
there enough cardio equipment? Or do you notice people
waiting around for cardio machines?
Another thing to look at is the staff. Do they greet you
with a smile or a scowl? Do any walk around to offer help
with any of the equipment or do they just stand at the desk
in on the phone? A good staff is important because they
are the basis for the gym's environment. A gym with a
moody staff is not going to be a happy place to work out.
The last thing to look at is your contract. If they are
pressuring you to sign because the deal they are offering
you is good for today only, do not do it. A good gym will
allow you to read the contract before you make any
decisions. Make sure if you ask about payment options.
Some gyms will require a full year's membership up front
while others will offer you a monthly fee. Ask them what
happens after you contract is up, does it automatically
renew and lock you into another year or will you be able to
cancel at anytime? Also find out what the cancellation
policies are.
You want to make sure you find a gym you are comfortable
with, because the more comfortable you are there, the more
likely it is that you will stick with your workouts.
