How to Select a Gym to Match Your Goals : Staff
Staff :

The first people you'll probably see are the reception staff. Are they welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable? All these things count for a lot if you're going to interact with them every time you come to the gym.

Then consider the availability of gym instructors and personal trainers. Are they available, attentive, and approachable? Talk to them and you'll see.


One thing that put me right off one gym I visited was reception staff eating doughnuts, painting their nails (and that was just the guys), and when I left, I saw one of the gym instructors standing outside smoking a cigarette. Ugh.

In contrast, my current gym has friendly, lively, chatty and knowledgeable staff. It makes such a huge difference to your gym experience. All the personal trainers and gym instructors have their photos on the wall, with a brief biog about them. I chat to them about the latest workout trends, nutrition tips, and they're all really knowledgeable. So when you visit a gym with a view to joining, try chatting to some of the staff and you'll get an idea of how friendly and knowledgeable they are.
