Why It’s Better To Pay For A Private Gym
Although keeping fit and healthy is free, many individuals will still pay. But Why?
There are various fitness parks that are free for public use and have a fair range of equipment, e.g. pull-up bars, dip stands, or monkey bars.
Despite this, some individuals prefer to pay a premium to use a private gym. Below are various reasons an individual will voluntarily pay for exercise and how far their money will go.
The Benefit Of Exclusivity In A Private Gym
Explanation:
Private gyms are only available to those who can afford them, so in theory, they should be less busy than a public gym -which is freely available to everyone. This results in less waiting time and a more productive workout.
What it depends on: The higher the cost of the private gym, the more exclusive it becomes.
The Benefit Of Meeting New People In A Gym Environment
Explanation:
While you can exercise at home, there won’t be extra social interaction or community spirit during each workout, so individuals may feel lonely, especially if they don’t leave the house often.
Private gyms often have classes and groups organized for their members to exercise as a team. This gives individuals the opportunity to meet people and socialize outside of their homes.
What it depends on:
Not every private gym will organize classes for its members, let alone a class teaching your desired training method. Nevertheless, you can still build your own friendship groups with other associates you meet – something you won’t be able to do in your home.
Private Gyms Have A Greater Exercise Variety
Explanation:
Private gyms have higher quality and a varied set of equipment. Rings, mats, resistance bands, and ropes are examples you’re likely to see in a private gym and not a public one. Athletes want to have access to this equipment and therefore are willing to pay for a private gym membership.
These apparatuses open opportunities to attempt a variety of new exercises. This is very common when individuals start to find the basic exercises (such as press-ups and sit-ups) repetitive and want to increase their skill level.
What it depends on:
The variety of exercises you unlock depends on what equipment the private gym provides. Commonly, the more expensive a membership is, the more equipment the gym facilitates though this isn’t always true.
The Help And Support Given Through Paid Fitness Services
Explanation:
Beginners may pay for expertise and knowledge in fitness. For example a trainer, fitness program, or online course. Beginners decide to do this as they are new to the industry and aren’t sure about the types of exercises, dieting, or health and safety. In this case, a fitness program or personal trainer can help ease them until they are confident enough to exercise by themselves.
On the other hand, professional athletes may hire a personal trainer to help them excel toward becoming elite athletes. The personal trainer will help with motivation, organization as well as creating training and diet programs.
What it depends on:
The detail of help & support you receive correlates with the amount you pay. Personal trainers can be expensive because you’ll have to pay for a membership at the gym they’re employed in too.
Nonetheless, there is still free content widely available on the internet that you can use, as well as ask any family or friends into their fitness. Click here to find out more on finding fitness content.
Private Gyms Have Higher Quality Facilities Than Public Gyms
Explanation:
Private organizations have a profit incentive. Therefore they try to one-up each other so the customers are more inclined to go to their gym rather than anyone else’s. By making it the top customer experience, private gyms are encouraging customer retention. As a result, factors such as hygiene, facility quality, and customer service will all be prioritized to beat the competition.
What it depends on:
This is reliant on the amount of competition there is in your local area. For example, if there is only one private gym and no public gym, they won’t be incentivized to be innovative as there are no substitutes. In this situation, the only alternative you have is to exercise at home, else you’re forced to pay for their membership.
