5 THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE JOINING THE GYM

What to Look for in a Gym Location — This is the single most important element in your decision. A gym can have every bell and whistle in the world, but if it’s too far away, there’s a good chance you won’t go. Make sure the gym is either close to your house and/or job.Here are a few things—besides monthly fees—to consider when joining a gym.
Location, Location, Location! A gym that’s close to work or home is obviously more convenient, but that convenience can be vital to your experience.A gym membership doesn’t do much good if you can’t actually use it!
That’s why one of the most important things to look for when joining a gym is on-site childcare. VillaSport offers up members’s children (ages 6 months to 12 years) up to 2 hours a day complementary time at their VillaKids facilities.First of the 6 things to look for while joining a gym is the cost or membership price. Majority of fitness clubs or gyms are likely to charge a monthly fee for membership, so it’s essential that one chooses a fitness club that fits his budget.
The next big thing you are should consider is the cost of a membership. Gym memberships can vary in cost depending on what type of plan you go on (length of term, type of usage – student or otherwise). If you can, decide on a set amount of money you are willing to spend on a gym membership before hand.Of course, signing up for a gym membership has its benefits and provides you with extra drive and motivation to improve fitness and health. However, amidst all the excitement of signing a new gym membership and starting your fitness journey, you should consider some things before you sign.
What you’ll find in most of the Indian gyms is a big fat guy who once got muscular on pathetic steroid cycles doubled up as a so-called “coach”. That’s exactly something you should avoid. Rather, look for a gym that has certified trainers holding years of experience and steroid-free transformations right under their belt.
Choosing a gym With so many gyms to choose from, it’s important to pick one that’s going to best suit you. Things to consider when looking at gyms are the facilities that each gym has to offer. For example, some have pools whereas others provide a variety of exercise classes.
H ere’s what to look for when joining a gym. Equipment Most gyms take you on a tour before you agree to purchase a membership. That’s why it’s imperative that you know what your gym goals are before heading to a new gym; you’re going to need to ensure that they have all the right equipment.Whether you are a regular gym goer who is looking for a change or someone who is about to kick-start on your fitness regime, you need to check the quality and range of equipment, the gym offers. Every individual is different so is his/her fitness goals, so check out range of equipment which are required to meet you requirements.
When you sign up for a gym membership, they say that it is almost the same as getting married. It is because you are not only financially bound to that West Hollywood gym of your choice, but, you are also investing your time with your gym. But, not like your spouse, a gym is not [ ].So, you’ve decided to join a gym or fitness center. Good for you!
A lot of people do that at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, many drop out after just a few months. Start by visiting a.
Pop into the gym around the time that you normally like to get your sweat on, he says. Look around to see how full classes are and how occupied the equipment and weight rooms are. If.
A new year often means a new gym. Whether you’re joining one for the first time or switching gyms because your membership is up, it’s smart to.If your gym is all the way across town, you may end up less likely to use it.
Consider a location on the way to or from work. If you have to pass by the gym twice a day, you’re much more likely to stop in. Might be worth springing more for a convenient location for your day-to-day.

A personal trainer can be handy for beginners… because it saves time some people haven’t got the time to figure everything out!
I always wondered if the background was a green screen. Finally answered that.
The school I’m at now does lots of takedowns. It’s often 20 minutes of every hour long class. I have a lot of fun when I’m on the ground, and I go back for that ground work. But I’m 40+ and those takedowns are really hard for me to roll with and walk away from. Last class I had to lie on the ground for 5 minutes after the last take down and literally hobble out of class at the end.
I’ve thought about looking for another place that focuses a lot more on the ground work. Where I’ll get smashed but not slammed. However, I’m a little worried that asking a new place about takedowns is going to get met with scorn. If I’m like “Do you guys do a lot of takedown work? Because that hurts too much.” I’m afraid the instructor will be like “Zip it, wimp. Getting slammed into the ground is what it’s about. Why do you want to be weak?”
Any thoughts on how to ask a question like that without turning it into a touchpoint for the instructor to just tell me I need to man up and deal with it?
Have someone to go with. I’ll feel more at ease with someone I know
I will first check the equipments and how the people and staff are and if there is music and an Ac before signing up
Would you say running is vital in training for boxing/mma? I absolutely hate running. I could tolerate just about any other cardio but running…
She is so pretty. Oh my God. I couldn’t stop staring at her eyes. ��
Can you tell me if this is a legit gym
http://grapplingzone.com/
I live in clawson Michigan and there is a bjj school in town. Their website is tenthplanetroyaloak.com. Any thoughts on the authenticity of this school?
I’ve never joined a gym before and I’ve been planning to join one once I start studying. Thank you for being that video I needed to watch on YouTube in order to feel reassured that I’m going to totally be a badass. Thanks for the confidence boost, I really needed it. Just subscribed. Keep up the great work.
Before joining a gym, do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squat, 10km run/jog you can lower this to your lvl and this guys stretching. Also banana don’t turn on you heater or AC. Yeahhhhhhhhhhh………..
Just go watch this guys vids or some other vids by by.
Now this is a guy that i respect, the kind who doesn’t talk trash about other martial arts and actually give legitimate tips on fighting and working out
I wore my shoes on the mat first time i entered the gym i wish i had of seen this vid before then
I start my first class tomorrow morning i’m nervous asf but not really because i wrestled in highscool so i guess i’m experienced lol
I’m glad I’m subscribed to your channel. c: I’m a Gamer but I have a HUGE fascination for MMA, the MMA workouts, and watching MMA fight videos.
I take some MMA workout tips into my 2 hour Exercises daily to stay healthy and fit because as a Gamer I don’t get much activity because I sit and Game all day. I’m glad you have this video that I can abide by to stay MMA fit. c:
The 2 mile run, Jump roping, Reaching Past Toes are a struggle for me but I’m sure I can work on those. c:
The Push ups, Squats, Sit-ups, 100° split, Touch Fingers Behind Back, and Shadow Boxing are everything I can do easily since I’ve already added those to my 2 hour Exercises from before.
Except I’ve never done any grappling exercises before.
Do you think its possible to be a Gamer/Mix Martial Artist? ＼(^o^)／
We have a small gym, but it has a really good sense of community. My training partners are my family.
Try old style kung fu classes which are basically extinct…….
In Canada there are like 3 in Toronto and a few in Vancouver. First one ever started there. So many RULES. The alter. The actual training area must be bowed to before stepping on…alot of mma gyms have the occasional guy bow every time he enters or leaves the matts while everyone else just walks back and forth on them, those guys have old style asian training in an asian martial art.
The shirts make em look so skinny while they are all in good shape
The eating and water part got me on my first class. Ate about half an hour before the training started (like, full dinner and desert and everything), already cramped up during the warming up run. Was on the edge of throwing up at the end of sparring:’) Definately learned from that one:)
strength and endurance training are my jam (still training for flexibility yikes), but I’ve never tried jump ropes in my 16 years of existence LMAO.
Training about a month now at a friends school for super cheap, because of debt I need to clear. Class starts off with some techniques. Not much attention to detail, kind of feels rushed and random with no logical progression. Then we go at it. I’ve certainly been getting more comfortable with wrestling/ grappling but the attention to technique, the how and why seems to be lacking. The instructor trains fighters at another location and seems kind of bored here, small group of regular guys. I’ve learned more at a couple of free trials then the month I’ve been here and Injuries are accumulating faster than I’m learning, but I don’t want to quit. I just can’t afford to train anywhere else at the moment.
Before joining an MMA gym u only need to know one thing. First time you’re gonna leave your soul in there
My avg pace per mile is 9 min and 5 sec per mile i gotta work hard
Thank you for these video shane,i train muay thai and these videos are very helpful for me. I’ve earned alot from you.
amazing video but I’m literally trying to find motivation to go����♀️ ah I signed up yesterday, took a tour.. I have no clue what to do or how to do machines so I was planning on just starting with cardio machines.. literally only thing I’m experienced with haha but anywho I hope I get the hang of it���� And this weird social anxiety thing about going to the gym is weird like is this normal for first time gym goers����lol I signed up honestly just to do it, now I just need to do it❕
Thank you, it wasn’t useful at all and I’m not gonna subscribe.
Not sure where I can ask this but I want to learn BJJ for both fitness and self defence and for my self
Confidence. I’ve lost my confidence. I’m willing to commit 3-4 times a week. I’m so bored of just going to the gym and just lifting weights and going home. I’ve got no experience in martial arts, I’m worried I’m going to get into the wrong type of BJJ, is there a certain style of BJJ I should be learning?
I’m almost 70. A total clutz. Fat and out of shape with half the lung capacity form somebody my age due to copd. But I want to do this. I’m ready to take some good advice and a bucket of shit from those incapable of good advice.
mine: kettlebell accident, nuff said, no more info needed and you can gather what happened… I am male by the way
I have a Team Tooke and a Gracie Barra gym near me. Idk which to pick.
This wee man gets on my nerves peddling his naff courses Jump Squats 50 Push Ups 50 under Table Heaves 50 however double these numbers for serious competiton.
So I went to the gym for the first time ever last week. I think you missed one major elementary tip possible. Warm up!
I joined a Synergy class with my Mother purposefully because we know literally nothing and need instruction, not even the ‘why’ of some of the exercises. The instructor didn’t believe we had never been before. Took another 10 minutes of us standing around like a bad smell for him to realise that we were telling the truth. We thought there would of been some kind of warm up instruction like a ‘the class has formally started now and now we are going to stretch’. Nope. We were expected to know to jump on a machine and warm up before class started. Who would of thought we were mind readers haha.
Suffice to say we did have fun and we will be going back next week (hopefully still not sore by then.. its been 3 days haha)
Hey Shane What if I Dont jump rope? I Still am Great At Sparring Though. I Last and am still fairly new
5. No shoes on the mat
4. Cut your nails
3. Introduce yourself
2. Make sure you have the proper clothing
1. Don’t eat a big meal before class
Now give me my like
If you want to learn how to build your business… hands down, I recommend Stu at http://www.TheSixFigureTrainer.com. I took his e-class and he is the real deal. It’s some of the best information I’ve gotten on marketing, lead generating, how to approach new clients and how to keep clients so you don’t have a lot of turnover. He talks about getting started as a trainer at ground zero too and it would have been really helpful if I was just starting out.
Stu also has a lot of free articles that are extremely (like extremely extremely) helpful… but I would do his e-class if he still offers it.
I have a question, can someone who isn’t as big as their opponent still have a chance at winning? Whether it be a difference in muscle or just size in general.
Wash your mouth literal my sparring parner at just ate onion tacos and almost makes me puke during grappling
Hi, i’m 40+ and i wonder if grappling would harm my joints and tendons etc. as a newcomer?
Pls if u want to self defend do box or mma or kickboxing. Karate, kung fu, krav maga are not good. Maybe krav maga but you need a good gym. Karate, Kung fu aren’t good. You need to stay there a lot of year for starting to do something. With box or kick box you prepared in 5 months
I appreciate this guys honesty and straightforwardness. I’m so glad I subscribed to his channel!
The female times seem a bit too slow, plenty of women can easilly get sub 15 2 mile times.
I’ve never practiced bjj but love this channel! there’s abudabi world champions male and female in a school by me with 100 students, and there is also a small class with no champions and a brown belt intructor but I’ve here’d it’s a really friendly class with a good vibe what class would I be best going to does it matter if the teachers a black belt I know he’s working towards it, and will I get better faster in the class with 2 world champions and black belt teaching?
Also, if you have any type of fungus, rash, skin condition or injury either cover it or be curteous and let people you partner up with know to avoid health and hygeine issues. Please wash your feet before heading to your dojo. (actually, I would go as far to just say shower before and after dojo training).
Squats should be at least double push ups. Something wrong here. Should be between 70 to 100 for a MMA fighter minimum.
We had a sparring once, after the first round, my opponent drank so many water that when the 2nd round started ans I kicked his stomach, he puked… at me…
dude I’ve been training 2 years and I can still barely pass this stuff:D
what I absolutely hate is when other new students laugh at everyone even when they only make one tiny mistake! It’s annoying that they will make fun of someone for falling while doing a high kick while they can’t even get their legs even close to where the pad is. Also, when the sensei/senpai says for the newbies to do something else just don’t copy what the advanced people are doing. now then no hating it just giving friendly advice and thank you for reading this.
I am happy as hell as I get to goto the gym I could not afford it before but my new insurance gives me free membership to a gym and since I have one right buy my house they will pay for it they also sed since its only open so many hours a day that they would pay for that gym to use when open and a membership to the 24 hour gym 15 min away a long with send me a yoga kit for at home. so happy.
I can do 100 squats, but barely manage to do 30 push-ups. Guess which martial art I’m training in.
I’ve been looking into a gym near me. There are only a few
Could you tell me if you think this one is legit? https://tigerrockma.com
It’s mainly a tai kwando gym but they are also gracie certified.
Flexibility is the oddest thing. I’ve been training martial arts on regular basis (4-5 times a week) since I was 6 but I cannot stretch for shit. After I put way more emphasis on it for the past 3yrs I noticed some slight improvement but it’s still subpar…But as long as it does not hinder my performance I am okay with it.
I saw a Thai boxer training in the gym I use in Bangkok… the guy made the damn brick wall shake on the uppercut bag.
Fair to say he was fit like a boss.
How would i go about improving on the flexibility excercises?
Damn, my jump rope skills are better than “best” no mess ups in a 3 min round
What about pull ups? I pride myself on my amount of pull ups.
They really need to change the way they do things in the physical fitness world how are you going to be a personal trainer if you look like the people that need the personal trainer lol
jesus christ there is at least a mile between my fingers when i try to touch them behind my back. i have knowledge with shadowboxing and basic fighting concepts though. Also it feels like the metal bar on my clavicle impedes some of my range of motion, specifically with that touching of fingers.
All these personal trainers dont have muscular bodies how comes they been in gym this long
My first MMA fight is tomorrow and I am not confident at all so wish me luck
Got 16:07 for the 2mile run. First time I’ve ran in years, hopefully crack the 13s by the end of the year.
Fact: Just because you can’t pass these tests doesn’t mean you can’t beat someone that can.
half hour seems too little.I know when i had soccer they told us at least 2 hours beforehand if you re going to eat a proper meal with meat or just alot in general
So, if you are exercising hard 6 days a week but stay at 150, are you getting leaner?
I’m 11 Ive done moay thai for 3 months and my teachers are impressed with me so id like to thank you shane:)
Can absolutely obliterate the strength standards, the cardio standards on the other hand, not so much. I guess that’s what happens when you stop doing martial arts and only train powerlifting for 2 years.
Shane how did you work on balance when kicking and when fighting in like a judo tournament?
Maybe do a video on scapula retraction for people new to the bench press, or any exercise for that manner. I see ALOT of new people not doing that! Great videos keep it up
I’m pretty fat and get my ass kicked all day at the gym. It’s the best.
Boy I better not have to cut my nails off! I’m doing taekwondo classes in 2 weeks
Saying “Hello” is kinda hard for me since im a minor training with adults (im 6”3 and weigh 185lbs) and i got social anxiety.But i got a steady trainingspartner
I have terrible flexibility but I would like to join a gym. I was told the older you are the harder it is to start to become flexible. is this true? I’m 26 y/o male
If you change the running to biking how many miles should you do in what time
Can confirm not to eat before hand, first time I ever did Judo has food ten mins before. Sick after 10 mins of being thrown
Eh, I don’t believe this. The gym I go to didn’t mind that I was completely out of shape when I started a little over a year ago, I was 260 ish. Because I said “should I do some workouts at my house before joining” and the owner looked right at me kind of serious, yet friendly and said “why do workouts to get in shape before coming to a place where you’re going to get in shape, just jump into it man. No shame in weight, we don’t judge, just do your best”. I started the next day, no one judged or laughed at me. Here I am a year and ehh 3 months later, down to 165 eating a TON better and only drinking water, working out on my own, jogging and gym(muay thai, bjj, and boxing, weights). Just by jumping straight into it. So on this subject, I disagree with you Shane, no offense. Anyone overweight wanting to join any sort of gym, I say go for it and I’m more than happy for you to tell me how it goes! Good luck everyone starting their new journeys, and those that are furthering theirs!
I am 0 for 2 with BJJ gyms thusfar…I liked the last one, the instructor was certified but the blue belts up were standoffish, the other whitebelts I trained with lacked fundamentals (this chick during choking drills was ramming her forearm in my throat christsakes) and rolling it was all about the win….trying another gym next week…. hopefully the 3rd gym will be a charm. They offer fundamentals class before the adult classes first….makes sense we will see
I was drinking a lot of water by the end of the class. it helped me wet my mouth and it almost felt like it gave me some extra oxygen. I felt like I was about to die, then I drank about 1dl and I was all good. I drank like 1 liter of water during class and I felt amazing even when we were grappling and practicing ground and pound and standup attacks that need full body movement
Holy shit, watching this before my first MMA lesson and my name is actually Shane!
Use the bathroom before class, im in a hapkido kids class (11, half yellow belt) and i once peed myself after laughing so hard because we did a obstical course i knocked over some herdles
Rule 1 there has to be a wrestling class.
I was fucked out of luck; every fucking MMA/BJJ gym I was in didn’t have a wrestling class
