Finding a Fitness Facility That Works For You and Your Goals!

Finding a Fitness Facility That Works For You and Your Goals! 

1. Location:  Picking a location that is close to your home or work is crucial.  If you have to go far out of your way, or if working out will add significantly to your commute, I guarantee you won't be sticking with your routine for long.  It's just not sustainable.  You want to maximize the time spent sweating, not driving. 
 
2. Price:  Finding a great deal to fit into your budget will help you stick to your goals.  If it is something that is affordable it will help you stick with it each month. 
 
3. Fitness Class Schedule:  Working out with others is fun!  But, if you are a group fitness fan like I am, it is so important to check out the schedule before you join a gym.  It is so sad to join and then realize the times they hold classes do not work for you. 
 
4. Child Care:  As a parent, I feel this is so crucial.  You never know when you are going to need it.  Spouse travelling on business?  You can still work out!  Day off school with the kids?  You can still work out!  It's one less excuse. 

I was recently able to visit Washington Sports Clubs® (https://www.mysportsclubs.com) and realized that this club meets many of my needs.

4. Child Care is very important to me.  That way I can bring my daughter along and not have to worry about finding a babysitter/coordinating with my husband's work schedule to attend a fitness class.  At WSC, Babysitting and active kid programs are available so I can work out worry free.

I was very happy with my visit to Washington Sports Clubs: Columbia Heights location.  They have been a fitness leader since 1974 and it shows. The facility was clean, modern and inviting.  Facility extras that stood out to me: racquet sports/full basketball court and the babysitting and kids programs.
