Why Fitness World instead of a hospital-based facility?
  • Equipment: The most frequently noticed difference between Fitness World and most hospital centers is the quantity, variety and quality of our equipment. We took great pains to select the very best equipment for exercising each body part and muscle group - instead of buying one brand with a few good machines and others that just don't measure up. That's why we have Nautilus, FreeMotion, Cybex, Hammer Strength, In Shape, Body Masters, Iron Grip, Life Cycle, and many more well-known names at Fitness World. Just take a look and the difference will be obvious!

  • Environment: Fitness World is a place to exercise and when you're around others who are working hard to reach their fitness goals, you will too. Hospital facilities are often built around their profitable rehabilitation services - with a quieter, more sedate environment. Fitness World has energy and you'll feel more of it with each workout.

  • Hours: Longer weekday and weekend hours give you more flexibility in planning your exercise schedule.

  • Price: Unless you're one of the lucky ones who gets "free" access to the hospital's wellness center, Fitness World will cost you less - and give you much more in return. Come talk to one of our experienced FitPros.
Why Fitness World instead of a home exercise machine?
  • There are many good home exercise machines on the market but none can come close to matching the quality of the professional equipment at Fitness World. Even with the best home machines, you work the same muscles in the same way every time. A variety of equipment not only builds strength better and gives you a more balanced workout - but you don't get bored. - there's always something new to try and a friendly personal trainer to show you how.

  • Most home gyms end up being expensive clothes racks or things to dust - and when something breaks, you're often out of luck! If something breaks at Fitness World, you can keep working out.

  • Having a place to go is often the incentive you'll need to stay with a good fitness program. If you can get in the car and come to the gym, you'll exercise. When you're at home, there are dozens of excuses to do it later - and often, later never comes.

  • Good home machines are very expensive - often costing as much as several years at Fitness World. Before you even think about buying an expensive machine you're not even sure you can assemble or will use, try us out for free.
