You would like to join a fitness club but there are so many choices! And then you will just end up having a headache! Fitness clubs are effective motivators. They should motivate us and not frustrate us.

Before you choose on a fitness club, make sure that it suits your needs and goals. And before you do that, you should first learn and decide on what is your priority.

By then, you will know what you really need in a fitness club. Here are some guidelines to consider when choosing a fitness club that is best for you:

1. Where Is It Located?

The location is the first thing that you should consider when finding a fitness club. If
the club is far from your home, you will just have another excuse not to work out. It is best
to find a facility that is near your home.

2. Are The Employees Professional?

Do not make an appointment to tour the club. Walk in unannounced and ask if someone is
available to show you the facility. This way, you get a quick overview and can see that
all areas are clean, roomy and have the equipment you need. Make sure that the instructors
are certified. Your instructor should know if you have physical limitations so you can find one
that is well trained to work with you. The staff should be helpful, friendly and professional.
Ask about the services they offer to find out what is important for you. Some facilities have
their own dietician, physical therapists and even day care that can offer services you might
need.

3. What Kind Of Programs Does It Offer?

Take the time to find out what programs are there for you and check to see if they suit your
interests. Do they offer group classes? One-on-one training? Choose the facility that offers the
classes you really like. Ask to enroll in a trial class to check it out.

4. Are the facilities and equipment in good working order and will they be available anytime that
is most convenient for you?

Check if there is enough equipment for all members. Otherwise, you will waste your time waiting
in line.

5. Is the entire facility well maintained, clean and safe for you?

Machines and other training areas should be in clean and in good working order. If you see a lot
of "out of order" signs, move on. Modern equipment are safer and more comfortable to use, so you
may also want to consider that. Are the floors cleaned regularly to avoid accidents? Is there
enough room for everyone? Also check if the facility is located in a place away from danger, and
is well lit.

6. Are The Members Friendly?

The fitness club is also a venue for social interaction. Take time to drop by and meet the members
of the club before you enroll. Other members can be your buddies in the near futured.

7. Are The Scheduled Classes Available When You Need Them?

Find out what classes are offered at a specific time and consider if you will be available at the
times given.

8. How Much Will It Cost?

It is important to know the monthly membership fee and what it covers. Some fitness clubs have
hidden charges and you should be keen in checking that. Check if they have promotions or discounts
and do they offer special services for an extra fee. It is also important to know how long the club
has been open and how often they increase rates.

9. How Is It Different From Other Fitness Clubs?

Don't just stick into one fitness club. Visit as many facilities as you can and make a comparison.
Then you can narrow down your choices to the facilities that meet your needs and priorities.

10. What Do People Say About It?

Gather feedback from other members. Ask them what they can say about the club and let them tell you
about their experiences with the facility.

Choosing a fitness club is just like shopping for the best shirt for yourself. Do not be pressured and
do not follow up with them right away. Take your time to review and gather all the information you can.
Once you have made your choice, enjoy and make the most out of it.
