It's a new year! Time to start making a list of all the things you want to change or improve about yourself.
Chances are joining a gym made the top 10, if not top 3.
Am I right?
Did you know that 92% of new year's resolutions fail?
Let me help you avoid another "doom-to-fail" resolution.
By choosing the right gym you can have the right atmosphere and accountability you need to stay on track and reach your goal.
There are many things to think about when choosing a workout facility. Here are the top three things you should factor when choosing a place to achieve your workout goals.
1. Reviews - They should research the online reviews of several gyms and compare the highest reviews as some gyms have better customer service then others which is a big deal especially when you go to try and cancel. This will give you an insight in the staff, cleanliness, atmosphere, and fees.
2. Instruction - Highly consider if you want a gym to do your own program or if you will be seeking fitness instruction. Smaller boutique gyms have energetic atmospheres, friendly and knowledgeable staff, great member comradery and specialized workouts for depending on your workout preferences and goals. You can either higher a personal trainer at these gyms or participate in the specialty group workouts they offer.
3. Cost - Cost is definitely a factor and should be considered with the end in mind. Some gyms bank on the fact that you will pay them a low fee and never attend that's why the fee is so low. Others charge a fair rate and include more accountability, regimen created for you by knowledgeable trainers to stay on track with your goal. Getting a training program may be more cost effective when you could the two popular options. Reach your goal in three months or pay for a membership for a year and never go. My best advice: I would recommend doing research and then trying out at least three places so you can get an idea what's out there, what atmosphere is best for you, and don't forget it needs to be convenient.
