Why is your fitness subscription not working?

So often our “run in the morning” or “spend every weekend at the gym” attitude remains just an idea and doesn’t develop into a serious intention. Of course, we can be philosophical and say that any reason for not going to the gym systematically is nothing more than an excuse, but what if we consider a number of factors in advance and learn to make the most of every opportunity? We have collected five reasons that most of all slow down on the way to creating the perfect body.

“Somewhere out there far, far away…”

Continuing the line from the famous song, we want to sing “… is your gym”. And really, you don’t need to be a psychologist or an expert to say for sure: the proximity of a gym to your home or work will significantly increase the likelihood of visiting a pool or group aerobics. Optimally, choose a fitness center in close proximity to your home or work.

Tip: almost all well-known fitness club chains have long since added a map to their websites. With the help of an interactive widget, you can sort clubs by proximity to the subway or view them as a regular list.

“I carry all of mine with me.”

Leaving the house in the morning with a huge gym bag is a very vague and unpleasant prospect. It would seem that you put in the bag a light T-shirt, weightless sneakers, and even if the heaviest in this set will be shampoo or shower gel, but agree that in the end, an extra couple of pounds of weight and an additional backpack you are provided. This is despite the fact that you’ll probably still need to bring your laptop or day planner to work.

Tip: most fitness clubs have such a service – locker rent, of course, the price of rent everywhere is different. But on average ranges from 1500 to 4500 thousand rubles.

Lifehack: and you can also sign up for training Nike NTC, take with you only shorts and a T-shirt, which can easily fit into a compact bag. Sneakers can be taken and tested right before training. This way we kill two birds with one stone – we train in new comfortable sneakers designed specifically for fitness or running and save space and energy.

Change your vantage point

Buying a gym membership is a big step. But what if, even at the time of purchase, you already realize that you’re only going to go to class a handful of times? Is the price justified in this case and will it give you any results? We are not against you buying a subscription for a couple of months, six months or a year, who knows, maybe you will be the one who will be able to make going to the gym a habit. And for those who already have a sad experience of unjustified purchase, we tell you about the latest trends in the fitness industry.

Tip: recently in the World Class network there have appeared various studios, the concept of which is that you do not pay for a season ticket, but pay for each single session, which you will be able to attend. It is important to remember that you should pre-register for such trainings in the studio, but if you have already signed up for a long time, you can come and try any direction you like: Cycle, Mind & Body or Beat Zone.

• Cycle is a new, science-based approach tocycling. The latest high-tech exercise bikes and an interactive system with heart monitors make every session as effective as possible.
• Mind & Body – Pilates, yoga and this season’s trendy anti-gravity (hammock classes).
• Beat Zone – high-intensity interval training, combining exercises in three zones – on a treadmill, rowing machine, as well as a functional block with exercises for the development of all major physical qualities of the body. During the class, cardio monitors are used to monitor the effectiveness of the workout online and help track progress.

“I’m doing everything wrong. I’ll save up for a trainer and start walking”

There are several ways to overcome the psychological barrier, to learn how to properly compose your own training program and to strengthen the theoretical basis for healthy lifestyle. Free training plans can be found on the Internet, make your own preliminary program and consult with a trainer at a trial session. For those who worry about improper exercise technique, you may be advised to become part of an online course where you must record your sessions and send videos to your trainer so they can offer advice and help adjust your workout plan.
