In this article, we will learn about the costs, benefits and types of fitness centers.
Types of Fitness Centers
Gym: The most common fitness center is a gym. Most people are accustomed to gyms such as Anytime Fitness, Planet Fitness, Orange Theory, LA fitness, or other chain gyms that offer 24 hour access within a low membership fee.
Private Studio: Personal training centers are private studios at which members can work out with a personal trainer of one’s choice. A disadvantage of such a facility is its high price tag. The cost of a weekly personal training session with a trainer can be incredible. Below is a picture:
