Secrets That Your Gym Is Hiding From You

Don’t Splurge On Your Gym Membership

Save for a few minor differences, most gyms are pretty much the same. So, if you can get a cheap membership, then do so. The added amenities in other more expensive gyms may sound nice, but they’re an added expense that you can live without.

Going To The Gym Can Kill You

So first you’ve got germs, bacteria, and viruses, and now, you’ve got to worry about sudden cardiac arrest. Although it rarely happens, when it does, there’s very little chance for you to survive the attack. This is because not all gyms carry an automated external defibrillator to revive you in the case of an attack, and even if you do, there may not be anyone on the staff that’s been trained to use it.

If you’re really keen on committing to a membership, check if the gym has an AED and if the someone in the staff has had CPR and AED training and the certifications to show for it.
