Gym memberships should not be taken lightly, especially when comparing facilities.
There are many different types, all with differing amenities, classes, perks and extras. Before you commit to just one gym or fitness center you should always go in person to compare facilities and see what they have to offer.
There are many reasons why you should not just rely on a brochure or internet page when comparing facilities. Those brochures or web pictures will only show you the absolute best part of each place, and neglect to point out any deficiencies. For instance, a gym or fitness center may not be kept very clean- something that only an in-person trip for comparing facilities will reveal.
Here at the Fit Map we have mapped out what you can expect from every type of gym, workout or fitness center that is available. Though not all may be available directly in your particular area, you will have an idea of what else is out there.
Most likely, you have a lot of choices and it is important for you to make an informed decision. Though some gyms may allow you to have a month-to-month membership, most require that you sign up for a year, or maybe even two. In fact many offer discounts for long-term memberships to save you money in the long run.
So if you are going to sign a long-term contract you should know what you are getting into. The Fit Map is a great jumping off point to find all of this out and more.
