QuestionHi-could you please tell me what to look for in a gym?
AnswerHi Joyce-thank you for your question.There are several different things to look for when joining a gym.Everybody has different priorites,some people price is most important,for some people location is number one.
Cost-the no frills gyms cost the least,but they might not have aerobic classes,a sauna,a juice bar,child care.
Location-it does not matter if the gym is free-if it is not convenient for you to get there-you will not go there to work out.
Classes-some people only care about aerobic classes.How many classes do they have that you will go to,are the times convenient,what is the personality of the teacher.
Personal Trainers-you want to make sure that the trainers are certified,that their personality matches yours,etc.
The hours of the gym-if you only want to work out after work and you get off at 8pm and the gym closes at 9pm-well then you will cut it close trying to get an effective workout.
The bottom line Joyce,is to visit the gyms in your area and get a free 3 day pass to workout.Try the gym out,talk to the other members-see which one you prefer.
Good Luck, bonnie
