How to Select a Health Club that Meets Your Needs

Before making a decision to join a health
club there are things you should consider before you release your signature. You definitely want to make sure that the club you select meets your needs before you pay any funds. Listed are specifics that should help you make a decision on the health club that is right for you.

Step 1
Determine your needs
What do you want? You will need to decide what you are looking for in a health club. Bear in mind, the health club industry is constantly growing because individuals are more health conscious today. However, some heath clubs differ slightly in the services they offer. If you are interested in joining a full service club you can expect to pay more money because in addition to state of the art work out equipment, they offer fitness classes, swimming, rock climbing, personal trainers and much more.

You will also find that these clubs have more locations. Now if you’re just interested in joining a basic gym for weight lifting and cardio exercises only, you are better off selecting a smaller privately owned workout facility in your community, the YMCA, or utilize the gyms on the premises of schools and colleges that are less expensive.

Step 2
Search for a health club
Now that you have decided which type of health club is right for you, it’s time to search for the club that you feel will meet your needs. If you know the club by name it’s just a matter of searching for contact information.

Step 3
Seek club location
Next, you should search for a health club that is most convenient for you to travel to. You don’t want to select a club that is far distance and awkward to get to. Check on-line to find the club of your interest that is nearest to you.

Step 4
Select you club
At this point you know what type of club you are looking for, the name of the club, and the location. So now it’s simply just a matter of calling so that you can obtain more information on the club and how you can become a member.

Step 5
Join
Now all you need to do is make an appointment with the sales manager to join that club. Usually, you can call the club directly or register on-line to make an appointment. You will be given a time and date in which to meet with the sales representative.
Once you go in for your appointment you can ask your sales rep any questions that you have pertaining to the club, the cost of your membership, your payments due dates, contract VS. pay as you go, etc. If you decide on a full service club, joining may be more time-consuming where as the basic gym will take less time to register. Once your registration is complete you are an official member. Someone will give you a tour of the facility before you depart. And now you are on your way to better health and fitness.


Tips:
* Only agree to pay for days that you want (e.g. 4 days a week or 7 days a week)
* It’s best to pay as you go rather than a two or three year contract
