I live in the Greenbriar area of chesapeake 23320 zip code and I would like to know which military base with a fitness center is the closest to me, so I can go to the gym, I have a dependent military ID. Thank you !! :)
I’m really new to the area so if you could be REALLY specific with the names of the bases and locations that would really help :)

Probably the Coast Guard base off of 164.

Ways to conserve energy at a fitness center?

Does anyone have any suggestion of ways to converse energy at a fitness center?

Lower the thermostat in winter, raise it in the summer. Just like any other building. Dress warmer in winter, cooler in the summer. Not really a problem worthy of a rocket scientist.

Does every college have a fitness center?

I want to go to Paul Smith’s college but on their website I can’t see if they have a fitness center or not. Does every college have one? Does Paul Smith’s have one?

Absolutely – we did a top-to-bottom overhaul of our fitness center just a couple of years ago at Paul Smith’s College. All new free weights, machines and cardio equipment, too. (The cardio gear – treadmills, elliptical machines, stair steppers, etc – has individual LCD TVs mounted on each unit, so you can catch up on the tube while you’re working out.)

Hope this helps!

What are the resources that you need when opening a fitness center? HELP?

April 7, 2011 - 12:55 am 1 Comment

So I basically need a long list of every resource you can possible think of that is needed for a fitness center. So far I have this:

dumbbells, barbells, weights, machines, yoga mats, exercise balls, benches and tables (for people to sit down and rest), showers, drinks (energy drinks and protein shakes), food (protein bars), bathrooms, locker-rooms, and last but not least, a few weighing scales.

Can you guys think of any more? Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

What/Where should I buy stuff I’ll need for a Fitness Center?

March 28, 2011 - 7:46 am 1 Comment

I’m planning to attend Balley Fitness this week and I have no idea on what clothing or shoes I need, I’m Male, 20 years old, 190 lbs, and was just hoping to loose weight in a gym. This is my first time in a fitness center, can anyone please give me some advice on what to do or what to buy?

Regarding Bali Fitness, I would first look at the facilities and see what they are wearing at that center. Just for the first time, I don’t know if that facility has a sauna, whirlpool, if you will be showering there and changing to clean clothing. I don’t know if you want to wear weight gloves, if you need to bring your own towel, shampoo or soap. If you will just be using the treadmill and weights, you will need shoes that serve those two purposes and comfortable, sweat wicking socks. Considering your age, I think you could wear shorts and a tank top or t shirt. You need a back pack to carry your stuff in. The easiest thing is to have an orientation first. Go to the sporting goods store, buy one outfit, and carrying bag and then figure it from there. You shouldn’t have a problem as you are a normal size. I would ask about the towels because if they don’t give them out, you don’t want to lie on the machine benches without a towel for your back due to the amount of sweat that people leave behind. There is also courtesy regarding fitness centers practiced more in the breech than in the observance, regarding sets and people waiting while someone rests between sets. also, there is courtesy regarding asking someone to spot for you when you lift a heavy weight from the bench. So, you might wish to look that up. I found one resource below. They didn’t mention, always put back the weights and don’t throw them down, set them down. Also, don’t let them take you in a room for the hard sell if you haven’t already signed a contract. If you need more on that, post again.

Ways to conserve energy in a fitness center?

I own a fitness center and I am looking for ways to conserve energy, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks!

I have always thought that is would be a good idea to put generators on the stationary bikes. I dont know if its possible but it would be cool to think you are powering the lights while you are in spinning class.
