🧘‍♀️Be realistic! – Duration of membership and time factors should be considered. Know your limits and don’t overdo it at first! Don’t be afraid to ask gym staff for advice, that’s what they’re there for.

[advice.scot @advicedotscot]

🧗‍♂️ Read the small print in the membership agreement – Ensure that you read the specifics in relation to cancellation. Things like moving to a new house can be a problem, especially if the gym you choose does not have branches in different locations.

[advice.scot @advicedotscot]

🏊‍♀️ Don’t sign up to long-term contracts if you know you won’t go – This ultimately costs more and will only demotivate you more in the long-term.

[advice.scot @advicedotscot]

🏋️‍♂️ Check out the facilities beforehand – Most gyms will offer a tour of the facilities in advance of signing up. This will give you a chance to talk to the staff and see the place for yourself before deciding.

[advice.scot @advicedotscot]

🏃‍♀️ Look for the best fit for you – Opening times, monthly membership costs and the facilities are all considerations. Think about when you can go (realistically) and whether you will be able to make the most of your membership.
