Shopping List for A Gym

After finding a new local gym, I was surprised at the number of amenities for the low monthly price. It has three plans with no monthly contract, starting at $9.99 per month. The equipment ranges from cardio and weight machines to free weights and heavy ropes.

But there is so much more! A few more dollars buy access to their cardio cinema theatre, where you can ride a stationary bike, treadmill, or stairs while watching a popular movie. AI-enabled workout machines remember your chair position and keep track of your progress, increasing weight and prompting the speed of the lift. And recovery rooms await.

My favorite feature is the group classes. An hour goes by faster if you have other people suffering with you and a fun instructor with a playlist. We can choose Pilates, yoga, dance, barbell pumps, and more. Better still there is an app that helps me choose a class and add it to my calendar.

They also have a program where they will train you on the weight machines and give you video workouts for the month. This is a good idea if you want a structured plan to get stronger.

And finally, since they have many gyms all over the premium plan allows you to access any of their facilities. It is a good idea to visit the gym at the time you plan to attend so you can assess the vibe and amount of free equipment available.
