Have you been trying to figure out if you should join a gym? Will it help? Will it be a waste of money? Will you fit in? These are all natural, normal questions that many people ask during their decision making process.  Despite all of your good intentions, it is not easy to exercise on your own and to stay motivated.  Additionally, no matter what type of equipment you have at home, no one has the commodities that a gym can offer.

Only you can answer the question about whether or not to join a gym. But there are some things to consider that can make your decision easier.

Convenience should be one of the highest priorities in making your decision to join a gym or not. You need to consider if you have time to get to the gym and if it convenient to your home or commute. Also, be sure that the gym is open during your normal exercise hours or during the times you envision yourself exercising.

Also, be sure that the gym has the workout equipment and exercise classes that interest you.  Do they offer any personal trainers, sports or activities you would like to participate in? You want the most out of what you're signing up for. But also, be sure that the gym has enough equipment for everyone who may be there. Visit during the times that you think you will be going. Having the right equipment, staff, and exercise classes is instrumental in keeping up your motivation and excitement.

Be sure you are comfortable and willing to pay for a gym membership and that the membership is something that can fit within your budget. If you're unsure if you will continue to exercise at the gym, or if you want to try it out before you join, ask for a trial gym membership.

These are all important considerations to think about before you join a gym. Take the time to look around, ask questions, and talk to staff. Choosing the right gym will help you to have a  much more enjoyable workout experience.
