本周，Helen告诉我们如何选择健身房！

1. 能给我们一些关于选择健身房的建议吗？

选择健身房首先要看距离，最好选择离家或者工作地近的健身房。这样可以更好地保证健身的频率。

其次是健身器材，一个标准的健身房应该具备有氧器械，力量器械，操房或泳池。想想你的健身偏好，更喜欢跑步还是集体课程，每个健身房的课程和器械都是不同的。健身房的运营时间也是值得考虑的。对于只营业到晚上6点的健身房，显然就不适合6点钟才下班的上班族。

2.在上海，那些健身品牌是比较专业的？

许多知名健身品牌在上海都有分店，比如亚历山大，威尔士，一兆韦德，舒适堡，金仕堡，美格菲等。

这些大的品牌一般在市区都有多家分店，健身者可以根据自身情况选择分店，他们大多也都提供全市通卡等服务，即使更换居住区域或工作地，在支付一定的费用后就可以转到其他分店。很多酒店也有健身房，比如上海希尔顿酒店的健身房就对外招收付费会员。

3.你最喜欢的健身品牌是什么？为什么？

我个人比较喜欢威尔士，这个品牌的价格比较适中，一般的工薪阶层都可以接受，而且在上海的分店也比较多，基本上涵盖了上海的各个区域。所提供的健身课程也非常全面，基本涵盖了所有的健身项目，一般的健身者都能找到适合自己的项目。

注意：若您在运动时感到不适，请马上停止！并咨询您的医生有关锻炼事宜。

This week Helen tells us how to choose a gym!

 1.Can you give us some tips about choosing a gym?

The first thing to consider when choosing a gym is location. If the gym is closer to your home or work place, it will be easier to incorporate exercising into your routine.

The second is facilities! A standard gym should have aerobic equipment, cardio equipment, exercise rooms and maybe a pool. Think about how you like to exercise. You may enjoy running more than taking group classes. Every gym is different when it comes to classes and equipment. Also, operating hours are important to consider. If the gym closes at 6 pm and you don’t get off work until 6 pm, it won’t be a good fit.

2.What are the most professional wellness brands in town?

Many well-known wellness brands have branches in Shanghai, for instance, Alexander Health club, Will’s, Tera Wellness club, Physical, King Sport and Mega. These big brands all have many locations in Shanghai. Most offer a city-pass card, which allows customers to change their current gym location to another after paying a transfer fee. Very convenient for those who move or change jobs frequently. Also, many hotels such as Hilton Shanghai have gyms that are open to the public with a purchase of membership.

3. Which gym do you like the most? And why?

Personally, I prefer Will’s because membership is affordable and they have many branches in Shanghai. They also offer a variety of classes and have an extensive selection of exercise equipment.

Notice: Remember if at any moment you don’t feel well during your exercise, please stop. As always consult your doctor before starting any type of exercise.
