Motivation to make it a habit. Peers who will encourage you to be accountable for showing up. Amenities to diversify your workouts and keep them fresh. These are only a few reasons why finding your ideal gym environment is so important to reaching your goals. We put together a list of questions to find out what’s important to YOU when considering a gym.
Classes, or a Traditional Gym?
Beth and Jeff, owners at Bayshore Fit, have noted that a lot of people either love working out on their own, or partake in the group class model. But a lot of clubs only offer one, or the other.
“A lot of people come to work out only in a gym environment, because they know what they want to do, and how to do it. A lot of people really just want to work out solo,” Jeff says.
“On the other hand, being in a class environment can really encourage people to push themselves harder than they would on their own,” Beth says.
Some gyms only offer classes, which could add up depending on how many classes you want to take per month. Other gyms offer unlimited classes, but might have the ones you’re interested in, or at random times that don’t fit into your schedule. To break that mold, Bayshore Fit offers both unlimited classes and access to a gym, so that there’s something for everyone.
Does it Have the Equipment you Need?
One of the most important ways to reach your fitness goals is by doing the kind of exercise or activity that you enjoy. Nothing is more frustrating than waiting for a piece of equipment, or even worse – finding out that the equipment is gone or in repair. When you’re trying to get fit, and do something hard, you just don’t want or need anything getting in your way.
Who Else Goes to this Gym?
When you think of a “gym,” and the people who might go there, a lot of ideas might come to your mind. You may conjure up the muscle heads at Venice Beach, sweating and grunting under the hot Santa Monica sun. You may think of the weekend warrior doing high-intensity interval training. You may think of the soccer mom doing a yoga class before she has to pick up her kids from school. You may think of the college student studying while riding the stationary bike. You may even think of your fit grandpa rocking it on the elliptical.
Some gyms attract certain types and levels of fitness, and it’s important to consider how you feel in said environment. At Bayshore Fit, we’ve designed a spacious indoor-outdoor gym that has everything for someone, regardless of their fitness level.
At Bayshore Fit, we are no strangers to the experience that you get when you go to a big box gym. We’ve also seen what some of the most luxurious and exclusive health clubs that the country has to offer. That’s why we set out to create Bayshore Fit – a place in Tampa that would give a better gym experience for people who live here and want to get serious about fitness. Unlimited classes, access to talented personal trainers, dedication to providing the best equipment in an exclusive environment – these are only a few things that define the Bayshore Fit experience.
