There are many elements you need to think about when deciding which is the best health club for you. For instance, the location, the price and the service that each provide. Below are some of the fundamentals that could possibly be taken into account when selecting a health club to exercise at.

Location is vital. Think carefully about the location of your Health Club. It has to be convenient and fit in with your everyday life. If it s not on your usual travel routes you won t be using it – simple. How many members does your gym have? Do you have to queue for equipment at busy times? What are the opening times? Can you fit in a workout before or after work? Reliable Health Clubs tend to work to certain opening times to making sure you are able to fit it around your lifestyle These are always questions you must ask before joining. In privately owned health clubs things are kept lower key and you are more than often offered a higher professional service with add-on services such as massage, exercise classes and occasionally babysitting facilities so you can get on with a work out without having to worry about the children.

Another component that needs to be taken into account is price, or as I prefer to describe it as value for money . When choosing a health club obviously price is a big consideration but you have to think about what you are getting for your money. Choose a personal trainer too. Even the best gyms can t expect to give you all the answers in a free gym tour and initial session. A personal trainer in a Health Club can give you tremendous value for money in the long term. Look for an established trainer with a large client list, generally the more in-demand your trainer is, the better they are. Once you have sought the advice of the professional trainer you will understand the mechanics of your own programme and know your strengths and weaknesses for the future too. For instance a personal trainer will review your fitness programmes frequently and keep your training regime filled with challenges that will help you keep using your membership.

Choose a club that combines the ambiance and atmosphere with service and you have maybe the ultimate choice for the budding health club member. Going to some health clubs can be impersonal and the industrial look interiors bland, not much to encourage you to keep coming back! First impressions always last so a friendly face on walking into a health club always sets you up. An example is when the receptionist greets you with a hello or a smile which always makes people feel better and also the club staff should to be knowledgeable and be able to communicate effectively.

A lot of health clubs can also catch you out on membership contracts, many health clubs tie you into a year (or more) cheap contract without you fully knowing the terms and conditions for cancellation. Better to pay more and get what you pay for, a 50 per month budget Health Club costs you 600 per year whether you go or not. So, a 100 per month quality club with no contract will cost you only as much as you use it. Surely a better bet for the normal gym user? A good thing is to speak to the owner or manager of the health club to see what their membership options and contracts involve. Some private health clubs have the opportunity to do month trials or pay as you go systems to suit each of their members so asking the questions is always a plus on the customer s behalf.
