A question you may be asking yourself:
How do I find a good gym? One that will work well for me? What should I look for in a trainer or an instructor?
Every year, billions of dollars are spent on diet products, fitness equipment, gym memberships and personal
trainers, none of which can guarantee you weight loss. The only way you will achieve your fitness goal is by
learning and applying what you have learned to your everyday life.
Often times in the health and fitness industry, "education" can have different meanings--it can
depend on who is doing the teaching.
A few rules to guide you:
Rule Number 1: Find a trainer or instructor who lives what they teach every day. How FIT
is the person trying to sell you on a gym membership, a product and/or a service. It should be a big clue how
important fitness is to a gym employee or trainer--is he or she overweight or unfit? You deserve more than that.
DEMAND results every day you train and make your private training sessions part of something temporary that will
result in you being on your own, implementing all you have learned. A trainer should be a person to help jump-start
and send you on your way to a lifetime of fitness and wellness. A trainer should not be your THERAPIST or a BABY
SITTER. They are paid to teach, promote, and help you attain your fitness goals in as little time as possible. As
a general rule, it is human nature to try and find ways of taking the shorter route. This is especially true when
it comes to fitness. It is your trainer's job to push you beyond what you are comfortable with -- each day more
than the day before. Progress often takes a back seat to development of friendship or the amount of fun a client
and trainer can have chatting about life during the client's session. After a relationship has developed, it is up
to the trainer to encourage the client to venture out and train on their own, at a gym or outside. Sometimes
clients who are working with a trainer are in a tough position: on one hand they are not happy to be spending a ton
of money, without a clue as to how long they are committed. On the other hand, they may face walking away from a
training relationship that is more habit than health.
FORM provides a great number of group exercise classes, which when combined with our personal training
can result in achieving your fitness goals on your own -- with less help from a private trainer. Ultimately you are
responsible for your own health. You cannot buy health. You must work for it every single day. Remember that you
are the one in charge of your life and your health. Do not get lazy and think that you can pay someone else to do
the work for you. Your fitness is not microwaveable.
Rule Number 2: Do not get distracted by expensive fees, a fancy exterior or interior,
fancy equipment, and/or fancy packaging. True fitness could be achieved in your backyard, or at a park. No product
or facility can provide you with more than what you can do on your own. Remember that you will ultimately pay for
the expensive environment.
FORM provides a simple yet effective setting where you are focused on the task at hand rather than
distractions. This focus is where a person will find discipline to push harder and to do more. Remember, there is
a thin line between comfort zone and laziness. It is up to you to place yourself in a setting where you have a
better chance to focus and achieve your goal for that day.
What should you look for when looking for the RIGHT gym or fitness center?
- Environment: Find a place where you feel good when you walk in. Focus on the content rather
than the packaging. Lavish lights and a fancy front desk are only impressive furniture. Look at what you can get
from a gym in terms of how you feel and your results. Remember that you are there to workout, not to impress anyone.
Focus on you and your fellow members: Do you feel good in that environment? It's as simple as that.
- Staff: Are the staff members genuinely happy? Usually when a place is right, you can see it on
the faces and the attitudes of the staff. Look for genuine interaction. See if they work out at that gym or do they
get their workout elsewhere. If a staff member trains elsewhere, what makes you think that you will have fun and
success training at that gym? (Many other local instructors and trainers take classes at FORM. How cool is that? :)
- Owners and management: Usually, the culture of a gym or a fitness center is created by and
exemplified by the owners and management. Are they a solid example of health and fitness? Are they an example of
what fitness means to you? If a gym claims that they care about their clients well-being, then the owners should
exemplify this claim. The owners should also represent the ultimate in fitness and health by example. Titles are
cheap when it comes to fitness (or anything else for that matter). Anyone can claim that they are passionate about
health and fitness, but do they live this passion? Or are they only making these claims? The beauty of athletics
is that you can see through people when it comes to their claims. Athletes are respected and celebrated for their
accomplishments as raw people.
- Instructors and trainers: A solid gym or fitness center will always attract the best trainers
and instructors. Good trainers and instructors decide where to work based on how well they believe in their gym and
the culture. A solid trainer or instructor is driven by genuine care and love for what they do. Fancy environments
and titles do very little to persuade a solid trainer or instructor to work in a wrong setting. The only sure way
you can find out if an instructor is great is to take a class or do a one-hour training session with a trainer. No
amount of marketing, packaging and advertising can take the place of your own experience. Take a test drive. Most
places offer a one-time free session. Come take a class, See how you like FORM. : )
