What you must see in a GYM

The first thing to consider in choosing a gym is ascertaining what kind of
equipment and facilities it provides:

  1. A gym should not be too big or too small. If it is too small, youconstantly have to wait for equipment and you can't keep up therhythm of your training. But if it is huge, you can feel dwarfed by too much space, which makes it hard to keep up your concentration.
  2. If you want to make the best progress, the gym you train in hasto have a full complement of free weights and benches. It shouldhave sets of dumbbells heavy enough for most intense lifts. Thereshould be exercise machines and cable setups that allow you towork all the major body parts.
  3. There should be equipment for doing your cardiovascular training-treadmills, exercise bicycles, steppers, aerobic classes, whateveryou need for your individual aerobic workouts.
  4. Some gyms and health clubs have other facilities like saunas, steamrooms, staff massage therapists, swimming pools, and even indoorrunning tracks, so if any of these things is important to you checkwhat's available before you sign up for a membership.

  1. I personally believe the gym size should not matter, you enter the gym with one motive to be fit or achieve what your goals are and all you need for that is good concentration and willingness to take efforts and handle the pain.
    But yeah I get the fact that if too many people are there you break your rhythm and with too less people you aren't motivated enough.
    Train hard, eat well
