This is the martial arts section, not the health club adviser. Why ask here? Martial arts are about learning self-defense.

press up handles and a couple of step aerobic steps

A real, olympic sized pool. A real running track (like the one at Bally’s in Clear Lake/Webster, TX). Clean toilets, sinks, showers etc. Enough lockers. Fewer people who want to talk to me when I am working out.

More and smaller class sizes. Being in the back row with 25 other people makes it tough to see the instructor.

And pay attention to the lighting; every place I’ve been to has so much glaring fluorescent lighting. Create a little atmosphere.

Rowing machines. Some people look for a toned body and all muscles exercised rather than bulking up.
