If your home just isn't big enough for you and a home gym, then consider joining a health club. Before you join, take a tour of its facilities during the time when you plan to work out. For instance, if you tour a health club at noon on a Sunday and plan to workout at 6 p.m. on weekdays you might find a much larger crowd during a weeknight than on a Sunday afternoon. That's why it's important to tour the club during the times you plan to use it most. Find out the club's operating hours and its schedule.
Many clubs are open seven days a week, while others are closed on Sundays.
Find out the club's holiday schedule. Sometimes a salesperson will be unwilling or unable to reduce the enrollment fee, but many salespeople will be willing to offer you anywhere from one month to four months free. Remember, many salespeople work on commission, so in many cases they will negotiate with you in order to make the sale. Inspect the equipment carefully before you join a health club. If equipment appears worn out or run down, it may indicate that the club doesn't make repairs promptly, which could create an environment that isn't safe.
