Choosing the Right Program

There are lots of things to look for when choosing an exercise program, but there's only one "rule" that really matters:

A program (at any price) has zero value if it
turns out to be one you don't like going back to.

When you visit an exercise center, here are some other things to keep in mind:

• Is the facility clean?
• Does the staff make you feel welcome?
• Are the current members the kind of people you feel comfortable around?
• Do you feel safe in the facility?
• Will you be able to use the center whenever you'd like, or will you be forced to change your schedule to get on equipment? (unless you don't mind waiting in line…)
• Is there enough equipment for the facility's total number of clients?
• Are there sign-up sheets or time limits for equipment? (Either of these is a sign that the facility doesn't have enough equipment.)
• Are the equipment areas big enough, or does it feel like everything is on top of each other?
• Is there enough variety — do they have all the equipment you need for your workout?
• Does the facility have TVs to help your time pass more quickly?
• Is the facility in the business of “just selling memberships,” or are they genuinely interested in taking care of their clients?
• What's been done in the last 1, 3, or 6 months to improve the facility?
• Are they selling thousands of low, low monthly fee memberships in hopes (and prayers!) that most of their clients won't use the club?
• Are the health coaches formally educated, or are they "certified" through online, in-house or weekend programs?

Your program should include workout program reviews, updates, and coaching — not just for your first 30 days, but throughout your program.
