I am 2 years old, 158CM and 47KG. I have a fitness card in the gym, and people in the gym have always recommended personal trainers. Is it necessary to have a personal trainer?

The word "hidden rules" is familiar to everyone. There are hidden rules in all walks of life, and the fitness industry also exists. Today, let's talk about what we should pay attention to when choosing a gym from the perspective of a bodybuilder, so as not to suffer losses and unnecessary troubles. For the choice of gym, we usually suggest that fitness friends should first consider the following aspects: close to home, moderate price, good equipment and good service. So what other "hidden rules" or "tricky things" should we be alert to? Keep reading.

unspoken rule 1: when you first went, you might have planned to apply for a fitness card for only one year, but it turned out to be two years, and some friends even applied for 1 years. Although you are so determined at home, it is different when you go to the gym. The salesperson will try to help you "save money". He will tell you that the price of a one-year fitness card is 1 yuan. Today, it only costs 1,5 yuan for a two-year discount and 7, yuan for a 1-year one. Even if you come to take a bath every day, it is a good deal. As a result, some friends are tempted to buy it. When you want to understand or regret it, you will find that it is impossible to return the card. The most tragic thing is that the gym closed before the deadline, which is definitely not a case.

[suggestion]: You can go to the gym for a few days before you apply for a card, and then make a decision by communicating with the members inside to understand the background and cost performance of some gyms. If you feel uncertain when you are half-stuck, you can do it later and wait until you really decide to go. Don't do it for many years at the beginning, it's better to do it for one year or six months. It's not uncommon for gyms to close down now.

unspoken rule 2: the fitness instructor will try his best to brainwash you and ask you to buy private lessons. He will tell you that your own practice has no effect, and that if you don't practice systematically, your muscles will be deformed. Find a coach to practice for a few months to achieve what effect, etc. After hearing this, some friends who are eager to change will be tempted and buy courses, ranging from hundreds to thousands. However, when it comes to the fitness course, the coach is irresponsible and will ignore it if he doesn't continue to buy classes. At this time, members really understand that fitness exercise still depends on themselves.

[Suggestion]: If you have just joined the membership card, you will be the focus of the coach. Before choosing private education, you should pay attention to the coach's personality. You can also communicate with friends in the gym and insist on whether you really want private education. After all, it is a big expense, but of course, if economic conditions permit, it is another matter.

unspoken rule 3: He will give you many promises when you apply for the card, such as: you can bring your children to swim in summer, you can find a very professional coach to take you to exercise, there will not be many people in the club, you will not add unlimited new members, and you will be provided with free toiletries. After joining the club, all the rules changed. The original salesman resigned, and the manager of the fitness club who guaranteed the sales also resigned. All the promises were zero.

[Suggestion]: Don't care too much about these floating clouds. You are here for fitness. You should be concerned about whether the core conditions surrounding your fitness can be met, such as equipment training, room exercises, bathing and lockers.
