2. Services.It is convenient when everything in the fitness club is in one place.- starting from group classes, independent visits to the gym and ending with a swimming pool, solarium, massage, nail and SPA services. It is also important for many to have a fitness bar and a cafe: it is not always possible to take containers and a shaker with you. sports nutrition. For moms and dads, a children's room will be very useful to take a child with you and not strain nannies or grandparents.

3. Trainer.I strongly recommend choosing a coach for compiling individual program training and nutrition, so as not to harm the body. You can choose an instructor both on merit, and on certificates from the place of training, and, oddly enough, on appearance- a shoemaker without boots would be out of place here. To begin with, it is better to take a trial workout: in case the instructor does not suit you.

4. Hall.Before you take a subscription, ask to make you a tour and tell you about the club. Pay attention to well-chosen simulators and their variety, to the size of the hall for group programs and its content. When in doubt, take advantage of a guest visit.

5. Price.Many gyms offer comprehensive annual or family subscriptions, this is beneficial. Be sure to ask the sales manager if there are any discounts or special offers. Check at work too: some companies pay for fitness for their employees.

How did we search?

We have compiled a list of the most common network fitness clubs in Moscow and the Moscow region using the 2GIS service. Clubs with at least 7 branches were selected from it: World Class (34 branches), Zebra (31 branches), S.S.S.R. (19 branches), Alex Fitness (13 branches), X-Fit (13 branches), WeGym (9 branches), Dr. Loder (8 branches), Sportiv (8 branches), SportLand (8 branches). The list does not include women's and children's fitness clubs, EMC fitness centers and clubs with only personal training.

We looked at the cost of subscriptions in different branches of the clubs on the websites of fitness clubs, clarified by phone or in the press service. Of all the offers, they chose the cheapest, without promotions and discounts. If the cost of a subscription depended on the number of zones and fitness club programs, we chose gym and group classes, visiting time - without restrictions.

Branches of clubs in which we were unable to find out the full cost of a subscription without a discount were excluded from the rating. In World Class, none of the branches told us the full cost of the subscription without a seasonal discount. Therefore, the rating includes the discounted price, which is marked with an asterisk in the table.

Prices are valid for March 20–24, 2018. When writing the article, Compare.ru did not cooperate with any of the fitness clubs.
