Checklist When Choosing the Best-Fit Gym for You




Motivation has erupted from the deepest chasms of your mind and now you have become restless to shed sweat and be fit. But here-in lie a pool of questions: where to join? How to choose? What to do?
Well, you needn’t worry much. There are some easy advises which will maintain your motivation level and help you choose the right gym for you.

The Distance
An extra few minutes or an extra mile can totally ruin your motivation and bar you from progressing. This is so because if the gym isn’t at an easily accessible distance (easy here means very easy) it will become problematic or strenuous to commute. Being stuck in traffic can lead to wastage of time and energy and leave you exhausted by the time you reach the gym and put you in a worse state while coming back home. Make sure the gym is at a walkable or a five minute distance from your home or office. If you prefer going to the gym at the night time, it is better to join a gym near your office as you can save energy lost in traffic and driving, include the gym in your schedule and feel motivated. 
 
Time
Firstly, decide the time you want to work out i.e. morning, evening or night. Once decided, inquire about the gym timings. Some gyms start from tea time and close around nine while some start a little late and are open till late hours. Similarly, morning times can vary and some timing might clash with your office/college routine. Also, make sure if the gym functions on weekends and public holidays. You mightn’t want to skip workout on holidays yet you’d have to if the gym is shut.

Hygiene
There is no gain if you work out in a gym which aims at improving your fitness levels yet being unhygienic leaves you unhealthy. A clean environment must be the utmost priority. 
 
Trainer Certification
Most gyms hire unqualified or uncertified personal fitness trainers. They generally have a good idea of basic exercises but might make you do some exercises that can leave you gravely injured. Hence, be thorough when it comes to choosing your personal trainer. 
 
Extras and Demographics
If you are a lady, check if the gym is a mixed gym or an all women gym. Select either at your comfort. Look for bonus offers like physiotherapy et cetera and if they cost you extra or are inclusive.

Quality and Number of Equipment
Gyms are hardly unpopulated. Sometimes, you need to wait in cues for your chance to use equipment. A reason could be shortage of equipment. Quality of the equipment is another factor which mustn’t be overlooked. Make sure there are enough free weights for you to work on your biceps and triceps and also the quality is acceptable. Dearth of weights will consume your time and demotivate you. And lesser quality equipment can turn out to be faulty. Hence, take a week or a month’s trial and be thorough with the equipment and other services. If they are satisfactory, sign a longer contract.
