How To Recognize A ‘Good’ Gym…

Matt Danielson instructs you on how to choose the gym…

Today we have a wide array of different gyms to choose from, ranging from the dungeon kinds of gym with chalkdust covering the free weights to the modern, high-tech health clubs with spas, a juicebar, a gazillion aerobics classes and all the latest machines in catchy colors.

Of course, the right choice for you depends on who you are, your goals etc., but there's a few basics that one should always take into consideration before joining, regardless of who you are.

Checkpoint 1: Atmosphere. This is one of the most important, perhaps the number one checkpoint, you must enjoy being there. If you walk in there and feel like an American in Paris, you can forget about getting optimum results from your training. The hardcore powerlifter might feel misplaced when all the other members stop and stare at his non-fashion clothes, just as the 50-year old guy who hits the weights twice a week because his doctor said so might feel equally misplaced among the 300+ lbs monsters in a dungeon down the street. Simply put: Make sure it's your kind of people, that the interiors don't give you the creeps and that the gym is at a comfortable distance from your home.

Checkpoint 2: Equipment OK, so you found a few nice places that are "you," so to speak. Now for the equipment. There should be a certain balance between free weights and machines, and if the clerk starts giving you some clever speech about how their twelve machines is, all you need - leave.

If you have a little experience in lifting, you'll recognize a good machine when you see it. Hammer Strength-kind of machines are usually good. Don't be afraid to ask other people in the gym if you're unsure.
