Find a fitness routine you can keep

Choose the format that fits your week

A convenient location and a realistic timetable matter more than features you rarely use.

• Gym: compare equipment, peak-time crowding, induction and the support available on the floor.
• Studio: compare class size, beginner options, timetable, cancellation windows and booking limits.
• Personal training: ask about relevant qualifications, insurance, experience, assessment and the plan between sessions.
• If you need women-only access, accessible facilities, childcare or a particular language, confirm the exact branch arrangements.

Try the real experience before committing

Visit at the time you expect to train. Ask for a trial or a single session where offered, and check any conditions before registering.

• Test travel time, parking, queues and changing facilities.
• Ask what is included, which classes cost extra and whether a trainer is available when you need one.
• Read the total payable amount, joining fees, minimum term, auto-renewal, cancellation, freeze and refund rules.
