Checkliste für das perfekte Fitness-Studio

Even if this may sound strange at first, the long-term contractual commitment to a gym can be compared to building a long-term partnership, not least because of the relatively high financial outlay. Accordingly, before you put your initials under the contract form, you should check carefully whether the gym you have chosen meets all your needs so that you will be happy to join it in the long term. To make your decision easier, in this article we present you with a checklist of the basic quality characteristics that a good gym should fulfill.

Point 1 - Do the trainers know what they are doing?

Before you get carried away and sign an annual contract, you should take advantage of the opportunity to take a few trial training sessions to check the quality of the staff. This is especially true if you are not yet very familiar with fitness training, because in this case it is the trainer's job to guide you professionally so that you achieve your goal. Otherwise, you run the risk of performing exercises incorrectly and doing more harm than good to your body. Only if you are already very experienced can you possibly neglect this point on the checklist.

Point 2- Make sure that the equipment meets your needs

During your first visit to a gym, you can find out whether the machines and equipment there and their availability meet your needs. The main focus here is on the variety and functionality of the equipment, rather than how old or new it is. In addition, a good gym should also have enough free space so that you can organize your workout as freely as possible. However, if you are unable to complete your individual program due to heavy crowds or cramped facilities, you should look for an alternative.

Point 3 - Pure training facility or wellness temple?

If you value relaxing in the sauna after a strenuous workout or enjoying a juice or protein shake at the bar, you should definitely get an overview of the gym's services in advance. If, on the other hand, you can do without additional luxuries such as drinks flat rates, sauna sessions and the juice bar, you can save money by choosing a less luxurious gym. This will also leave you with more money for your monthly shopping trip.

Point 4 - What do the members particularly like about their studio?

After your trial training session, you should take the opportunity to ask other members of the gym what they particularly like about the training facility and what they dislike. If their answers match the requirements you have for your desired studio, you can be sure that you have found the right gym.

Point 5 - Can you even keep up your training there?

An important question you should always ask yourself is whether you can do your workout at all without having to wait too long at individual machines. To find out how full the studio is or how full the courses on offer are, visit the selected studio at the time when you would normally be there.

Point 6 - How clean is the studio?

Unless you are a powerlifter or hardcore bodybuilder, both the cleanliness and the visual appearance of the gym play a key role in the decision-making process. Pay particular attention to whether the equipment is clean and is properly cleaned by the users after use. In addition to clean equipment, very good gyms also offer the option of disinfecting your own hands using the dispensers provided.

Point 7 - Is the gym within your budget?

To put it in a nutshell: No matter how well trained the trainers are, no matter how well equipped the studio is and even if it has a pool area with sauna - the decisive criterion for signing a contract is and remains the price. Be aware that you really need to use any additional offers regularly to make the financial outlay worthwhile, otherwise it's a waste of money. You should also divide the monthly fee to be paid by the number of times you are likely to attend training per month to calculate how much a single training session will cost you. If the price is in line with your expectations, you can sign up for a membership without hesitation. If this is not the case, you have no choice but to keep looking around. But rest assured that you will find it sooner or later.
