Fitness dates also encourages practice of healthy behaviors between both of you. Just like saying, “birds of a feather, flock together”, it is a well-proven fact that health practices of one partner will greatly influence condition of other. Chances are that if you and your date routinely include a fitness date into your calendar, then both of you are also more likely to be maintaining a healthier lifestyle during week as well.

Additionally, these fitness dates tend to do amazing wonders for stimulating a couple’s intimacy with one another. Research has confirmed that regular exercise does result in greater levels of desire, frequency, and increased confidence. The increased blood flow to all body parts also enhances your ability to be aroused. Needless to say, visual appeal of your mate working up a sweat probably won’t dampen attraction either.

As for arranging Friday nights for your fitness dates, just remember that this could also be a great, healthy way to wind down at end of your work week. Looking forward to meeting your date will only add to motivation. However, if your schedule doesn’t necessarily allow a Friday night for both of you to meet in a gym or attend a spinning or yoga class, then truth is that any day or time of week will work as an ideal time for a fitness date. Just remember to enjoy moment and time together with your significant other and have some fun!

5) Sanitation

For me, this is a direct reflection on management. Bathrooms, showers, pools, saunas, tanning beds, and gym equipment should be cleaned on a regular basis. Granted, while club members are working out, no gym will ever be 100% perfect, but as long as a club still places an emphasis on proper hygienic practices, then it demonstrates responsibility and concern for their members.

6) Client Volume

If you’re just beginning a gym membership for first time and feel a bit insecure about working out for first time, you may (or may not) prefer a smaller gym or even a personal training studio. Also, best gym in world for you may still be wrong fit if you’re going to have to regularly wait in line to exercise on a piece of equipment. A crowded gym can result in irritable attitudes and inefficient workouts. Your best bet may be to locate a fitness facility with proper combination of number of members and number of equipment that will allow you to maintain a steady workout.

7) Environment

Do you prefer an “Iron Dungeon” with a perpetual cloud of hand chalk and chorus of loud yells and grunts? Or do you prefer a club that feels more like a Singles joint where clients seem more concerned with meeting members of opposite gender? Just like design of gym’s building, a gym’s environment can come in all versions as well. If you feel uncomfortable upon your initial walk-through, you may wish to continue looking at other gyms and fitness facilities nearby. When you sign up for a gym membership, it’s vitally important that you sign up at one that you feel comfortable at and enjoy atmosphere because if you don’t, then there’s a good chance that you won’t succeed in regularly working out there.

There are still many additional factors not listed here you may wish to consider before selecting gym of your choice such as amenities, equipment itself, and clientele. Just be sure to give yourself a little bit of time to shop around and determine which choice is best for you based on your needs and tastes. I truly believe that signing up for a gym membership is an outstanding investment on your physical and emotional health and is well worth time and money spent to locate one that’s best match for you. Most gyms and fitness facilities today are ran by professionals in their field who enjoy their jobs and there is a good chance that this high level of enthusiasm will only energize you further.

So shop around, it’s well worth effort!
