Rating of the best fitness clubs in Yekaterinburg in 2022

Yekaterinburg is one of the largest cities in Russia in terms of population. But this is not the only thing that makes the city stand out from the rest. Yekaterinburg is one of the largest industrial centers of the country. The combination of a large number of working-age residents and a developed industry creates favorable conditions for the development of the fitness industry. The solvent population increasingly puts a healthy lifestyle as a life priority, and visiting fitness clubs just contributes to this.

Currently, there are more than 300 fitness centers in the city. How to choose the most worthy among them, in which high-quality simulators and professional instructors will help improve your body and spirit. The following rating of the best fitness clubs in Yekaterinburg in 2022 will help with this.

What to look for when choosing a fitness club

The widespread division of fitness clubs and centers into three categories of economy, business and premium class only by price category does not reflect the whole essence of this division. In order to attribute a particular fitness room to any group, not only the cost of visiting should be taken into account. When choosing a place for training, it is important to focus not only on the cost of an annual subscription, but also on a number of parameters that allow you to attribute a fitness club to a particular price category.

When classifying establishments providing fitness services, the following criteria are taken into account, which should be taken into account:

• square;

In terms of area, fitness rooms can be small (up to 2000 sq.m), medium (2000-5000 sq.m), large (5000-7000 sq.m) and giants (more than 7000 sq.m). It depends on how many thematic zones can be placed in the hall, as well as the comfort of movement around it. Often, in small halls, the owners try to accommodate the maximum number of sites, which negatively affects the comfort of the trainees.

• the ratio of the number of visitors to the area of ​​the club;

Considering only the size of the fitness room, it is impossible to classify it with any certainty. After all, a large area does not mean the level of services provided. It is important to take into account the ratio of the number of active customers to the area. In economy class fitness centers this ratio can reach up to 2.5 (5000 clients per 2000 sq.m), in business class halls the ratio is no more than 1 (2000 clients per 2000 sq.m). For a club to be considered an elite club and be classified as a premium class, the ratio between the number of active clients and the area must be less than one (0.7-0.8). That is, the higher the coefficient, the more likely it is to stand in line for the simulator.

• the quality of the trainers;

This item reflects the novelty, modernity, quality of inventory and equipment. In general, it is easy to see with the naked eye: worn dumbbells, outdated simulators, etc. Or, on the contrary, brilliance and novelty in every little thing. The higher the price category of the center, the newer and more expensive the simulators. But this is also not an axiom. Often, the owners of even very small fitness rooms are very responsible in their business and purchase the latest equipment as it becomes available.

• availability of additional services;

Related additional services include a doctor's consultation, SPA and beauty salon, massage, sauna or bath, swimming pool, relaxation area, free towels, bathrobes and hygiene products in the showers. The more such services the center provides, the higher its category and the more pleasant it is to visit.

• interior design;

Everything is simple here: the more expensive the fitness club, the more attention and finances it pays to the design of its space. If it is important for you to train in a designer-designed room, then you are definitely in a premium class fitness club.

• service level;

The level of service refers to the quality of service delivery. But this does not mean at all that they will be rude to you in the budget hall, but on the road you are insured against this. A high level of service means the presence of additional services that will make the time spent in the fitness club not only useful, but also as enjoyable as possible.

Now that you can more or less distinguish fitness clubs by their level, it's important to think about their location. It is best to choose a place for training near your home or work, depending on where you most often go to classes.Also, when choosing a fitness club, do not forget about such seemingly small things as a spacious locker room where you don’t have to push after a workout, the number of showers, towels, which are not issued at all in every fitness center. Check in advance the possibility of training with an instructor. Some gyms make the first workout with an instructor free. Pay attention to promotions and offers, which are often very profitable. It would not be superfluous to find out about the availability of a children's room and even a nanny during your sports activities, which is very important for young mothers who have nowhere to leave their child.

Now, knowing what to look for when choosing a fitness club, let's consider the best of them in Yekaterinburg for 2022.
