This is an episode I've been working on for a couple of months now. Back in August I decided to be a "secret shopper" of 5 different commercial gyms. Why? Because I found that many of my clients are either A: hesitant to join a gym because of a previous bad experience. B. Don't wanna go through all the trouble of trying different gyms to find a good fit. C. Don't know what to look for when joining a gym so they pick a random one only to find that it's not a good fit.
So I decided to do some of the legwork for you. Consider me your personal assistant when it comes to all things related to joining a gym!
On this episode we talk about:
- My experience trying out 5 different gyms near me (many are national chains).
- Things to consider when it comes to choosing a gym to join.
- Why all of your assumptions about what gyms are like aren't always correct.
- Why some of them ARE.
- Pretty much everything you wanted to know about various gym options!
A side note: I am not sponsored by any of these gyms. I am also not here to talk shit about any of them. I'm simply here to share my personal experience when I pretended that I wanted to join them. Please know that I'm sharing this through the filter of being a straight-sized white woman. Also please know that these gym chains might not be available where you live, and if they are certain aspects of them might be location dependent.
