When choosing a facility your budget should always be a
strong consideration. During the New
Year and in September when students are returning back to school is when most
gyms or studios offer discounts on memberships making these a great time to
join a gym. Avoid long term contracts when joining a gym or studio for your own
flexibility and avoid paying for extra privileges it can really add up.

Insure your gym has the type of equipment needed to
facilitate the type of exercise you are involved in as well as area designated
for stretching.
·
Inspect the main areas and locker rooms for cleanliness
and maintenance; use these cues to assess the overall feel of the
environment.
·
Are trainers available?
·
Is the staff friendly and helpful?
·
What about the other patrons are you comfortable and do
you feel welcome?
In addition to the right facility, equipment and exercise
routine you also need to insure you are wearing the correct attire. Do you feel confident and comfortable with
what you are wearing? Insure your attire
is performance oriented, does it wick moisture away from your body? Does it fit correctly? There are many high
performance fabrics available that are designed to meet the demands of your
activity levels whether you are involved in yoga, weight training or outdoor
activity like cycling or running.
