Be Amazed at these Top 10 secrets gyms don’t want you to know! Your personal trainer may not know what they’re doing - In most professions, you need qualifications to be able to do it. If I was going to teach you to drive, you’d expect me to have a certificate to say I can do it, right? They’ll do anything to get you to join - Gyms really want you to sign up to join them, especially on a lucrative monthly contract where you’ll have to pay whether you workout regularly or not. As a result, they’ll try lots of psychological tricks to get you to sign on the dotted line. Sex sells - As we know already, personal trainers don’t actually need any qualifications or experience to work at the gym. So how do you think gym managers decide who to hire? Everything is negotiable - In gyms, as in life, people who are willing to haggle get more. Gyms are graded by how many new members they can bring on board every month. Gyms sell you a fantasy - Does your gym have a big poster of a smiling guy with arms like trees by the door? Does it have motivational quotes stuck on the wall?

The equipment might be disgusting - When you lie down on that bench press, what are you lying in? A study by the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine found that 63% of weights equipment at the gym was covered in germs, notable rhinovirus, the cause of the common cold. Gyms don't really want you to go - It may sound counterintuitive, but your gym’s business model is built on you not turning up. Your gym has far more members than it can accommodate in one go. Around 20 times more, in fact. Cancelling is a nightmare - We’ve seen how gyms will tell you anything, and play all kinds of psychological tricks to try to get you to join. So you won’t be surprised that if you want to cancel your membership, gyms like to make it as difficult as possible. Your gym can be dangerous - In America in 2012, nearly 460,000 people were injured in the gym. Usually, they’re people’s pre-existing injuries being made worse by overdoing it in the gym, but sometimes they’re not. You don’t really need to go to the gym - If you want to be fit and healthy, going to the gym is one way to help achieve that, but it’s not the only way, and it could do more harm than good.
