5 Things A Health Club Won't Tell You

5 Things A Health Club Won't Tell You
Have you ever wanted to start on a fitness plan and weren't
sure where to start. So you just think the first thing to
do is join a health club or large chain gym.

It's a great idea - yes - if you use it.

However, here are 5 key things you need to think about
before you step foot into any gym or health club.

1. "We don't care care if you show up at our health club"

The sad fact is, the January rush ends in a cash surge for
the big Health Clubs and the same amount of members as
there were in the previous December.

Well intentioned fitness goals end up in health club
contracts, and a lack of motivation.

This is what Health Clubs expect, for you to trip up on
your plan and never come back, however, you'll keep paying
the bill even though you don't show up.

2. "Our trainers don't know what they're doing"

Chances are once you get a membership to a health club an
in-house personal trainer will try and sell you on their
expertise.

Spokane health club trainers need no accredited
certification to be out there on the floor flexing their
guns. $50 and a 10-min online quiz can get you a
certificate and title that sounds snazzy, but they aren't
worthwhile.

Look for quality personal trainers that can guarantee
results.

3. "We want you to pay forever for our health club"

If you think getting started on a fitness plan is tough,
try quitting your health club. Trouble canceling gym
memberships is one of the top complaints among gym members.

The big health clubs out to get your money and keep getting
it, month after month. They want you to keep paying, but
stay home. After all it doesn't do the health clubs any
good if you come into their gym.

Which in turn doesn't do you any good if your just paying
for a gym membership

4. "Your stuff isn't safe at our health clubs"

Think your belongings are safe in a big health club? Think
again?

A recent report explained how a group of burglars stealing
credit cards from lockers of health club members. You can't
be sure who is lurking around the health club locker room
while your working out.

Now you can't even bring anything with you to the gym.
You'll just have to carry your keys in your back pocket
while you workout in any health clubs.

5. "Sales is our #1 health club goal"

When they offer you a sales appointment at their health
club, what should you do?

While that offer sounds enticing, fast-talking and slicked
sales reps will ensure you leave with more than just more
information and insight, but a brand new long-term contract
you can't refuse.

Don't read the fine print, it will still apply to your
membership and contract. One such website of a large health
club promised a 30-day free trial membership. But the
catch, if you don't show up at least 12 times, you'll be
locked into a multiyear membership.

You can't rely on the health club sales person, you must be
on the defense and know what really matters when you
looking for a quality Spokane fitness solution

Don't fall for the health clubs Spokane gimmicks, go for a
quality personal trainer that guarantees results, no matter
what condition you're in right now.
