How to choose a gym in Chicago
- Visit at the time you plan to work out, to check crowding, equipment availability, cleanliness, and atmosphere. Ask for a trial pass before you join.
- Read the contract for the length, cancellation process, enrollment or annual fees, and automatic renewals. Get any promises about price or perks in writing.
- If you want training, ask about trainer credentials, such as nationally recognized certifications, and about experience with your goals or any injuries.
- Be cautious of high-pressure sales for same-day signup. A good gym lets you take the paperwork home, and cancellation should not require a complicated process.
