MUST KNOW BEFORE YOU PICK YOUR GYM

Posted Sep 13 2008 11:46pm
Enrolling into a health club for the time , or switching to a new fitness centre - Here's checklist to ensure your safety and good health.



Does the staff have suitable acedamic education and actual hands- on experience - If they don't have a degree in sports medicine or an exercise science, they should atleast have some sort of certification from a recognised organisation such as the National Strength and Conditioning Association.


Is the place clean, the equipment well maintained ?


Is the gym properly ventilated ?


Check the optimum temperature control- overly chilly conditions can make you more susceptible to joint injuries.


Are there regular follow-up evaluations of your progress? It's essential that the centre offer an initial orientation programme for equipment you don't know how to use. It's also vital that they re-evaluate your programme and vary the routine as appropriate.


Does the gym have an emergency medical plan in place?
