5 Reasons To Motivate Couch Potatoes To Finally Sign Up At The Gym

Let’s face it: Workouts at home when the pandemic hit are challenging. There’s plenty to distract you from your fitness and health goals, and you might not have enough (and the right) equipment to get a full range of exercises in.

While the convenience of an at-home workout is still pretty hard to beat, there’s absolutely value in joining an actual gym, and it might be a more beneficial and attractive option for you to consider—especially now that Anytime Fitness is offering a free one-month gym membership for you or a seven-day membership for your plus one worth P2,500 until the end of the month.

This part’s really easy and straightforward. All you have to do is to download this exclusive e-voucher and present it to the Anytime Fitness branch of your choice, preferably the one nearest to your home or office (SM City East, Ortigas, SM City Taytay, SM City Sta. Mesa, SM City Sucat, SM City Santa Rosa, or SM Southmall). 

No sweat, right? Now that you’re all set, here are five reasons you’d want to step up your #fitnessjourney at Anytime Fitness—and, perhaps, even follow through on your free one-month membership after it expires. 


Motivation


When you’re surrounded by focused and like-minded individuals or you’ve someone encouraging you to keep moving and mentoring you, it motivates you to continue at a strong pace and stay on track. Apart from the knowledgeable and friendly Anytime Fitness staff, there are also one-on-one coaches and trainers that are readily available to help you get to a fitter and healthier place. We all need an extra push sometimes, right? Plus, at the gym, there are no distractions. No kids, pets, or your cozy couch or bed calling your name every single time. 


Interaction


The pandemic put a significant limit to in-person relations and social interactions—how we go about our daily lives hasn’t looked the same. But now that establishments, like Anytime Fitness, are slowly opening up and easing restrictions, regaining a sense of normalcy is well underway. Hitting the gym once or twice a week can be an avenue for face-to-face interactions, which any human being needs. So that’s already a plus!


Convenience


Admittedly, a home gym is bound to save you money on gas and time, but you’ve to consider that the convenience of an actual gym membership offers so much more. For starters, you won’t have to worry about upkeep on equipment, clutter, or storage. It’s so much easier to have a dedicated space to visit for working out rather than have your home-gym stuff taking up space in your office or living area. 

Additionally, Anytime Fitness provides national access to their gyms with just one membership key—at no additional cost. So you can be on a vacation or traveling anywhere in the country and still head to the gym for to get your body moving and heart pumping. 


Variety


It goes without saying that a gym gives you access on lots of resources and options—more machines, equipment, facilities, and space than you have and afford at home. The extra amenities a gym provides make your membership even more worthwhile. And, more importantly, access to tons of equipment will allow you to keep your routine fresh and exciting. 


Accountability


Attending a daily or weekly workout or training session at the gym can create accountability. 

Members-turned-friends start looking for you when you don’t show up. This might be a blessing or a curse—either way, this just means there’ll be likeminded people who will look out for you and who will remind you to show up even if you don’t feel like it, that is, when you’re demotivated to do so. 

Building an accountable mindset’s especially helpful not just in your gym life, but in your overall quality of life as well—you become more outcome-driven and take responsibility for yourself.
