When selecting a gym, it is essential to consider factors such as cost, contract requirements, crowd, and specialized program offerings. Gyms should also offer access to a wide array of equipment that is regularly maintained and kept clean. Standard gym equipment should include:
1. Free weights - made up mostly of dumbbells, free weights should consist of multiple sets so that more than one person can use a specific weight.
2. Cardio machines - a range of machines that includes bikes, treadmills, ellipticals, rowers, and recumbent bikes should be available in the gym for variety.
3. Weight training machines - these machines can be adjusted for different levels of resistance and to put more emphasis on different lifting phases.
4. Stretching areas - stretching is a vital part of an exercise. A gym must have a dedicated space that is large enough to accommodate one or two people for a quick stretch routine.
