New To Fitness? Consider Joining A Private Gym

Why Private Gyms Are Great

Personal Trainer Options
When you’re just starting your fitness journey, a personal trainer can help you learn the correct form and which exercises will help you target certain areas. A personal trainer can help set you up for better, smarter workouts in general, or your personal trainer can help you achieve a specific goal, depending on what you want. Many smaller, privately owned gyms offer a better personal trainer experience than large chain gyms. Even when corporately-owned gyms offer personal training services, the trainers need to stick to the rules set out by the corporate owners, which are often out in Toronto or even in the US. With a local, private gym, the trainers are typically given more freedom, which allows them to cater their training to the needs of every individual client. Because the gym owners interact with the personal trainers on a regular basis, it ensures that all clients of the personal trainers are being properly cared for and you can rest assured knowing you have the support of your personal trainer and the other staff members.

Privacy
A major deterrent for many people trying to go to the gym is the feeling that others are watching them. When a person is just beginning to work out or is at the start of their weight loss journey, there can be a feeling of self-consciousness about working out in front of so many strangers and potentially being judged. Since private gyms are more exclusive than large, corporately owned gyms, there are often fewer people in the gym. This offers greater privacy for the clients who attend and it can help make you feel better knowing there are fewer eyes on you. When there are fewer people in a gym, the machines, weights, and other equipment are more often open for use. Having no lineups for the equipment you are using lets you take your time and not feel rushed while also not feeling as though people are watching you while waiting for you to finish using the equipment. By having more privacy, you can get into the zone and feel immersed in your own workout without feeling judged.

Community
Large chain gyms tend to have lots of people coming and going, including casual gym attendees and people who go when they can instead of going on a schedule. Private gyms tend to have a more regular and dedicated clientele who come to the gym at regular intervals. Because of this, it’s relatively common for gym goers that come at the same time on the same day to get to know one another and establish a rapport. Seeing the same friendly faces can help you feel more comfortable in the gym and it can even help with socializing. Being in a private gym where you know others makes it easier to ask your fellow gym-goers to spot you or give you tips. Because they are less cold and impersonal, private gyms help to foster a friendlier environment in general, and both the clients and the staff tend to be easier to talk to.

Additional Services
Some private gyms offer benefits that chain gyms do not. For example, some private gyms offer personalized weight loss programs. These programs go beyond the top-notch personal training that private gyms offer so that clients also get customized nutrition plans. Some private gyms may also offer top-of-the-line technology, such as 3D body scanning to help understand your body and work towards your goals of weight loss and muscle gain. Some private gyms will offer services outside of the gym, such as online personal training. Online personal training can offer great benefits even if you can’t make it to the gym. These features of a private gym are highly beneficial to people starting out, as it gives direction and can help you establish good fitness habits moving forward.
