Quiet Gym Times
Who doesn't love a quiet gym?
There’s nothing worse than arriving at the gym to find all your favourite exercise machines taken, leaving you aimlessly walking around, not sure where to go or what to do next.
That’s why in this Village Life article, through real data, we have developed an understanding of when our Village Gyms are quietest and listed some tips and tricks on how to guarantee you get the fitness session you want.
Tips for avoiding peak times at the gym
- Choose a gym outside of the city centre: The great thing about our gyms is that they are conveniently located outside the city centres so don’t typically get too busy.
- Get an off-peak membership: At Village Gym we have a variety of different gym memberships, that include off-peak memberships. Not only will these detail the quieter times but also give you full access to our gym facilities at a cheaper cost.
- Go to classes: If you are unavailable during our quieter gym times then a great way to get a good workout in during the busier times is to sign up to a class. All of our classes have a limited amount of spaces so will never get too crowded and you are guaranteed access to our equipment.
- Book a PT session: You can choose to have one of our PT sessions in a private room, where you are given access to all our gym equipment.
- Plan your gym workouts around peak times: If you are one for a planned gym schedule, then make a mental note when the gym is busier than usual and make a workout plan which uses less popular gym equipment.
- Choose a 24-hour gym: Make the most of the quietest hours and improve yourself whilst everyone else is hitting the snooze button or watching Netflix. See if your local gym is one of our 24-hour gyms.
