choosing a
health club
|
Congratulations!
You've made the important decision to join a health club. But before you do, there are several things you need to consider. You may want to ask yourself a few of these questions:
|
- How long do I have to sign up for?
- What are the fitness staff's qualifications?
- Is the club a respected member of the local business community?
- Is childcare available?
- Does the club offer a wide variety of programs and activities?
|
|
- Never sign a long-term contract! Did you know that lifetime memberships are illegal in most states? Find out if the club is a member of your local Chamber of Commerce and Better Business Bureau.
- All new members should be offered a comprehensive fitness assessment and/or orientation by a qualified fitness professional. He or she should be certified by a nationally recognized certification agency and/or hold a bachelor's degree in an exercise related field.
