The gym you choose will have a huge impact on your success, so don’t take this matter lightly. Below are what I consider to be the most important factors.
1) Team.
Make sure the gym has all the basic equipment that you will use in your beginner bodybuilding workout.
Does the gym have enough flat bench press stations? One of the gyms near my house only had two stations, so there was always a line to use them, especially during peak hours. Nothing messes up your flow more than having to wait a while to do a basic exercise like the bench press. Instead, I opted for a gym that was a bit further away but had enough equipment.
2) Cost.
Bodybuilding gym membership plans for beginners shouldn’t be too expensive. You can save money by opting for ‘express’ gyms. They may not have a swimming pool or all the other fixtures and fittings, but they can still cater to your beginner bodybuilding needs. Right now Gold’s Gym Express and 24 Hour Fitness express charge around $20/month.
When you sign the contract, pay attention to the language and make sure they don’t add any hidden fees or commit you to a long-term membership.
3 hours
This is obvious. Make sure the gym is open at the times you’d like to work out. Also beware of very low monthly membership fees that restrict the hours you can exercise. A popular ploy by some gyms is to charge as little as $15 a month, but then they have fine print that says you can only use the gym between 11am and 3pm
4) Rent.
The best bodybuilding gym for beginners is the one located near your home, or on the way from your home to your office. This helps ensure that getting there is convenient and that you have one less excuse not to go. Don’t pick a gym that involves a long drive to get there; you’ll end up going less often and skipping workouts.
5) crowded
You don’t have to be too picky about this one, but the obvious crowds to avoid are:
has. A crowd made up mostly of women. This type of gym will emphasize yoga and cardio and not inspire you to reach your goals. Do not sign up to join the Curves gym.
