Health Club Or Gym: WHICH DO YOU PREFER? When it comes to getting healthier, finding the place that fits your personal goals is more important than you might expect. You may think all you need is a gym with a few treadmills and some free weights, and you might be right—that may be all you need to accomplish your goal of losing a few pounds. But when it comes to developing healthy, active habits that stay with you for life, you may need a little more.
such as kids and family, educational background, hobbies, career goals and industries. Both personal and business relationships can blossom over a game of tennis or at the café. Holistic approach health and wellness A gym or other sports facility might offer the equipment/trainers you need to attain an optimal physique—certainly, fitness is vital to your overall health—but there are several other factors that affect your well-being. A health club will follow a holistic approach to wellness that addresses four essential dimensions of health: social, intellectual, spiritual/emotional and physical. Caring for the whole person this way has the potential to strengthen your commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
Variety In a club such as Midtown, you have access to a whole range of health services. From standard exercise equipment to tennis lessons to massage, an athletic club is like a one-stop-shop for keeping your body healthy and fit.You will find activities that aren’t only good for you but fun, too.
“At the heart of Midtown is the desire for our members to find a home away from home. Not only a place to come in for a quick workout, but also a place to play tennis with old friends and new ones, sit poolside with the entire family, or relax with a glass of wine in the. In short, Midtown is as much about community and belonging as it is health and fitness. It’s our belief that active, social people lead happier, healthier lives.”
Motivation If you have no problem motivating yourself to get up and go to the gym, then this feature may not be as important to you. But for the many other people who can think of a million other things they’d rather do than work out, the motivation of belonging to a club can help keep them on track. Plus, the friendships that develop between members and with staff make heading to the club less like a chore and more like something to look forward to each day. Opportunities for networking
