Once we have decided to exercise and opt for a gym, we may realize that there are many options, and it will be important to choose the most suitable one so that attending is truly a pleasant experience and does not become an obligatory task. First of all, the most important thing is to establish your goals for using the gym: do you want to lose weight, get fit, maintain your figure, etc.? This will give you an idea of the classes and the type of training you need. Consider the following points when searching for the right gym:

• - Experience. If you have been enrolled in a gym before, think about everything you liked and disliked about the place. Also, analyze the reasons why you stopped attending (if that was the case). This will guide you in selecting the new gym.
• - Location. Ideally, the gym should be close to your home, work, or school. The farther away it is, the harder it will be for you to attend.
• - Type. Determine what you are looking for in the gym, what type of classes you will take, whether you will only use machines, or if you will take some lessons with a personal trainer, etc. This will help you determine which one suits you best.
• - Cost and type of contract. Call several gyms and find out the costs, visit them to truly compare what they offer. Make sure there are no "hidden" fees like paying more for spinning or yoga classes or for using the sauna. The cost can increase if there are high registration fees. Determine the total annual cost of the gym. Don't pay for what you don't need.
• - Contract. Multi-year contracts are more difficult, even if they are cheaper. Be sure to find out the penalties for canceling the contract. In several gyms, you can negotiate or ask when they have promotions.
• - Schedule. Determine if the classes you want to take are available when it is convenient for you. Ask how many people attend the classes and if you have to wait to use the machines.
• - Facilities. Before enrolling, try to see the facilities well and ask if you can try them without any commitment. Observe if it is a clean place, the type of people who attend, the parking, etc.
• - Staff. Find out if there is qualified staff for training and if they will give you a free introduction and with whom.
