EXERCISE DISCRETION Some Health Clubs have a reputation lor sales pitches to rival those at holiday time-share company representatives. and it goes without saying that this should arouse suspicion on the part of prospective members. ltyou teel browbeaten, do not give in: it‘s probably an indication that you're being otteredsomething
sessions are supervised. and each member has personal illness programme.

you may not want.
Unless you‘re completely satislied with the first club you visit. shop around and don’tcommityourselt. Some clubs otter tree trials or one-oil visits at a nominal charge. Many have short-term (even one-day) membership deals, so think twice before signing longer-term contracts. Fitness tests, which are otlered by some clubs on or before joining, are not always the good idea they might appear. As Browns‘ stall pointed out. your fitness can be much more accurately assessed after a workout than after a tiresome, calleine-soaked day behind a desk, and fitness tests should best be seen as a measure at progress.
Prices do vary quite considerably, so decide what tacilities you want and then look torthe best deal.
