When you call to check prices, ask about the availability of equipment, certified instructors, parking and even the music they play, among other things. You can eliminate some clubs over the phone, but you can't get a club's pulse without visiting. Try to go about the same time you expect to be working out.
Some places offer free trial memberships for a day or a week.
