Pick the Right Gym (Part 2) :
Price is a huge factor of gym membership. There are numerous gyms
available that are reasonably priced, and then on the other side of the
spectrum there are gyms designed specifically for the upper class with
membership costing thousands of dollars per year. I had the opportunity
to attend one of the latter for a brief period of time and it was quite
ridiculous. The locker room, for instance, felt more like a hotel room
than anything else. There was deodorant, perfume, shaving cream, and
small packets of soap, all neatly placed on the sink counter like a
fancy hotel room. If these details and status are important to you, then
a gym like that may be for you. However, for the rest of us on tight
budgets, we have to look for the best deals available at the highest
quality gyms within our budget. One of the main things to look out for
are membership fees and hidden charges. Many gyms like to force you into
a contractual agreement, forcing you to remain at that gym for a period
of at least one year. Try to avoid these gyms at all costs because they
are only out to get your money.
And one of the most important
parts of finding a gym is finding one that is convenient for you to get
to. If it's a struggle to get to the gym, then chances are that you
won't go. If you live in a large city, try and find a gym that is on one
of your local bus routes within ten minutes. This way you won't view it
as a burden and since it will be so convenient to get to the gym, you
will be more apt to go. And if you live in a more suburban area, aim for
about five to ten minutes of driving time. This is all purely
psychological, as is weightlifting. As long as everything is setup to
work easily and not against you, you will succeed.
So stop procrastinating and get your ass up and off to the gym. Keep yourself healthy, mentally and physically.
