How to find a quality exercise facility…

In New Zealand we are fortunate to have a registration system that administers standards for individuals and facilities giving out exercise advice – called the New Zealand Register of exercise professionals (REPs).

…

Our advice is to ensure you only get advice from a Registered Exercise Professional, and that if you are looking for health club, fitness centre or similar facility to exercise at, to ensure they are a Registered Exercise Facility.

…
Some more advice to the public when choosing a fitness centre or exercise facility:

1. For your own safety, ensure it is registered with REPs (see above)
2. We recommend you pay for your membership weekly/monthly.  This is both easier to.budget for, and also ensures you are better protected under consumer law.
3. Find a facility you feel comfortable in – go in and look around and get the “feel” of the place and ensure its right for you
