[quote=Anonymous]For Tyson's area I'd look at 24hr Fitness (same shopping center as the new Walmart) or Sport and Health. Here's what I look at in a gym: 1. Location - this is key for me. If it's not convenient to home or work I flat out don't use it. This includes things like ease of finding a parking spot too - I have been known to use a full parking lot as an excuse to turn around and go home 2. Cleanliness and professionalism of staff 3. Availability of machines/classes during the times I want to work out - def recommend getting a trial pass and visiting for a week before committing to membership 4. Cost/cancellation policy - figure out what you're committing to. I was once seduced by the "cheaper" annual price ($70/mth for a one year commitment v $80/mth for a cancel-anytime policy). I stopped going after two months because the location was not at all convenient but my contract had me locked in for another 10 months.[/quote]
