Top 5 tips when joining a gym

 When joining a gym in Bristol there are a few things to consider – like the distance from your house, or the range of classes on offer. You also need to remember to buy the right gear and to eat an hour in advance before a workout. With so much to deliberate, what are the top 5 things to remember when joining a gym?

1.    Proximity
There is no point in joining a gym if you cannot get to it! Always join a gym that is on your bus route or your route home from work. That way you never have an excuse not to go. If your gym is less than an hour away from your house why not try power walking or jogging to the gym in order to warm up?

The 4-week Report

Well week 4 is up and I am feeling great!!!! I altered my diet for the first 3 weeks without any training and then over the past week have begun to train along with healthy eating. I must admit, getting back into training has been hard, I am aching from head to toe but it’s that satisfying ache; one where you know it is making a difference. I am almost back to where I started with my weights although my fitness levels are taking a while to return to normal.
