Health Fitness Gyms


Many may think that it is splitting hairs to separate health and fitness clubs from fitness gyms. They are all basically the same some people may advocate. While there are many similarities, there are many subtle differences also.
Fitness gyms are generally not on the same large scale as the fitness clubs. They do not offer as wide of a range in either facilities or activities. An average fitness gym does not have a basketball court or swimming pool. Their focus is directed more towards developing a fit body through individual exercise.
There is not a great deal of difference between membership fees at a fitness club and a fitness gym. Fitness gyms fees usually are lower which reflects their scaled down facilities compared to that of a club. Most fitness gyms do not ask for a fee to be paid up front nor do they seek long term contracts. The average fitness gym will request a first and last month payment and then will charge the member each month. The monthly charge can automatically be deducted each month from a checking account or put on a credit card. Some plans will offer a discount to the member at renew time.
The scale of a fitness gym is not as grandiose as that of a fitness club. As a result, they do not offer basketball games, or racquetball matches, or swimming laps. They do offer many high tech, state of the art strength building machines but stay away from free weights. They are focused on providing many well organized group exercise programs that will give members the most return for their effort.
Fitness gyms give their members an excellent atmosphere to get into excellent physical condition through both group and individual workouts. They want their members to become very knowledgeable in exercise, nutrition, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.


One of the advantages of belonging to a national fitness gym chain is that your membership can be used in different cities. When you are out of town and want to workout, if there is a chain location, your membership is valid.
Many fitness chains like Bally’s Total Fitness Centers and Curves Health Clubs have locations in many cities across the country. This is a perfect way to keep exercising even when you are away from home. This makes your membership even more valuable.
Fitness gyms are not as large and do not contain as many exercise options as a health and fitness club but they do concentrate on physical fitness and body conditioning.
