4 important things to note on choosing the best gym near me



Every one of us likes to get fit in the modern day. The modern world has provided us access to a plethora of options to keep ourselves healthier and fitter. We are able to identify our patterns more easily in the modern day and are very much eager to build habits that will last forever. The awareness about health and fitness is fast spreading. Doctors, Dieticians, and Health advisors are very vocal about having a healthy and active lifestyle.

After getting the first source of inspiration, we tend to figure out the best gyms around us as the next step. We'll either visit the gyms around us or check other options to train online. Once we explore we're stuck on what to choose from the options we have. Here are the 4 most important things to note while we're taking the next step - to find the best gym near us:


Location

This sounds like a silly factor, but this is one of the most important things to note. The gym you choose to workout should be closer to your house. Habits are built by consistency, and there are a lot of folks who skip the gym because it's a bit far away. Even in your darker days, a gym close to your house ensures that you step in, do the workouts and get on the next task whatsoever. This is the most important condition to choose the best gym near you.


Free Squat Rack

A lot of gyms have fancy equipment, a row full of treadmills and EFX machines. The gym is not just a place to walk, run and improve your cardio. The primary function of a gym is to make you stronger, which aids fat-loss and builds muscle. This is achieved by doing the basics which engage your core effectively. Many of beginners tend to make the mistake of working out in a Smith-Machine, but remember, a good gym should have a FREE Squat Rack. Below are some of the other equipment that you should have a look at:

  • Chest Bench

  • Olympic Barbells - Heavy Barbells to add weights

  • Dumbbells - Unto a weight of 30 Kgs

  • Leg Press machine - This should be your last resort if you lack mobility


The Barbell Squat is the mother of all the workouts that engage your complete core, give your body the stability to build muscles all over. Ensure that the gym you are planning to join has a FREE Squat Rack.


Trainers with Passion

Before joining the gym, try understanding the trainers and the motives behind their job. A lot of gyms have trainers who pester them to take Personal Training. Try figuring this out by speaking to the current members of the gym and the trainers themselves. A passionate set of trainers never force their members to opt for personal training. Try speaking about how they perceive fitness in general, and try asking for a sample diet chart. A knowledgeable trainer will be speaking about macronutrients, a structured diet plan that you can follow throughout your life. If the dietician or trainer comes up with a diet plan without sufficient proteins in it, and if he/she explains the diet plan roughly without doing any calculations, the gym is a strict no-go. A structured diet plan will take hours to build, hence, request for a sample diet plan that the trainer has implemented on other members who opted for personal training.


Safe Space

A gym should be a non-judgemental place where you should have a safer space for yourself. A safer space, with the right community lead by a good set of people, will act as the best motivation to build the habit of working out every day. The atmosphere and the vibe in the gym should be welcoming for the 16 year old as well as the 60 year old. The place should be welcoming irrespective of gender, age and current shape. Getting into a gym with a negative vibe will spiral our journey down, and many might never go to any gym again for the rest of their life.
