CHEQFIT guide
What to inspect and ask during a gym trial or tour before choosing a membership.
Write down your expected training times, preferred activities and any access needs. Ask whether classes, personal training, lockers and parking cost extra.
Check that the equipment you need is in usable condition. Look at changing areas, drinking water, ventilation and the general upkeep of the training floor.
Ask how new members learn to use equipment, when trainers are available and how the team handles injuries or emergencies.
Keep a copy of the price and membership terms. Compare the visit with at least one alternative if you are unsure.
