benefits of fitness programs at work
Are the fitness benefits of the YMCA worth the high cost of membership?
I know the YMCA does a great job with charitable programs. As a social worker, I really appreciate their dedication to the communities in which they serve. I’ve never worked out in their gymns, so I’m not sure if the high cost of membership is, in purely fitness terms, a good deal. Is it?
I agree that in comparison to other gyms, the YMCA is higher. But, I’ve found that unlike other gyms they have more programs for families. i.e. kids basketball, flag football, swimming programs, summer camps. They also are more community oriented in the respect that if you want to use their facilities for some type of gathering, they’ll usually let you. Most other gyms are just that…gyms. If you have a family, you can really get your moneys worth, if you are just looking to workout, it might be better to join another gym. In all honesty, it boils down to personal preference.
