You are interested in joining a fitness facility. Good for you.

But all fitness centres or clubs are not the same. How will you decide on the one that best meets your requirements for a safe, enjoyable and positive experience?

Use this Canadian Fitness Matters Checklist to help choose a quality fitness centre in your area.

Simply take this Checklist to a few centres and ask these questions to the membership staff person. Check off the responses you get as you take a tour of the club. Then you can make an informed decision that will likely work best for you.

Canadian Fitness Matters is a web-based fitness information program of the Canada Safety Council (CSC). It is an essential reference guide for Canadians, to help them make informed choices about personal fitness matters.
