As the fitness industry became more competitive, business owners realized that it takes more than standard equipment and rock music to entice members into joining. Modern-day fitness clubs are cheery with bright colors, a pleasant atmosphere and top-of-the-line weights and exercise machines. Choosing the right club depends on who you are and what your needs include.
24 Hour Fitness
The primary benefit of 24 Hour Fitness is in the name. With the conventional 9-to-5 schedule dying out, you may not have time to squeeze in a gym session during the daylight hours. 24 Hour Fitness features myriad locations open 24 hours a day in almost every major city. You can begin your workout quickly by punching in a personalized code and scanning your fingerprint. Membership begins at $35 per month for standard gym access, but if you would like to access every type of gym available, you will have to pay more.
Life Time Fitness
This fitness club takes aim at getting the whole family fit with their bundling package. For about $50 per month, you and your family have unlimited access to their state-of-the-art machines, and most clubs are also open 24 hours a day. If your offspring are 21 years or older, they will need to buy their own membership. Like 24 Hour Fitness, Life Time features a Child Center for young ones, providing you a worry-free workout and fewer schedule complications.
LA Fitness
From the land of primping and preening comes this workout titan with plenty of bells and whistles. LA Fitness is known for its juice bars and for being one of the only clubs to feature basketball and racquetball leagues on a regular basis. The club also allows you to pay $10 for membership on a weekly basis, in case your finances fluctuate unexpectedly. Like other clubs, you can enjoy a spa, lap pools, specialized aerobic classes and a Kids Club.
Bally Total Fitness
While fast forwarding through commercials on TV, you're guaranteed to see ads for this long-established workout club. If you missed them, Bally's message is friendliness and comfortability. Bally proclaims itself to be a workout club where you would want to meet up with friends and where you have lots of open space for your exercising needs. Additionally, its focus is on a medically well-trained and motivational staff to assist your every need. Prices range from $23 to $31 per month, and Bally clubs are not open 24 hours a day.
