Particularly positive is the presence of fitness trainers on the training surface, the active contact with the Train shots was considered in addition.
Gyms convince your ambience
The range of strength and cardio equipment in almost all gyms extensive. However, only two-thirds of the tested Studios were also able to convince with a wide range of courses.
All in All, shone all the Fitness chains, especially with their well-kept, clean atmosphere and attractively designed stores.
A somewhat different picture emerged for the training support – the present fitness trainer at the worse-placed Fitness chains conducted hardly or only irregular tours to the area, and were rarely active in the training of the members.
A good training support for the members is that, unfortunately, is not yet a Standard, but only with the best providers given.
