I've never been to a gym, but I want to go there these days. I like to get some exercise. However, I always stay at home so I haven't been able to work out recently. Therefore, I want to get some exercise that suit me in a gym. So, it's important that I have a own trainer to give me advice.

I have never been to gym. So I do not know what kind of treating it have, in detail. But I think I want to go to gym. Because I like exercise very much. And more I do not exercise now. I retired club in last May. I lost a lot of muscle and I get a lot of fat. My mother told me “Your leg looks thick.“ So, I want to leg's muscle. I want to use running machine. I think running machine has many good points. Such as to do my pace, I can do it while doing something and so on. I want to go to gym and use running machine.

I've been going to my first gym with my mother for a few months now. Because there was a gym near my house. At first, I didn't understand how to use the machine at all, and I was always taught by an instructor. Now I'm used to it and am enjoying my gym with my mother. So I think that what is most needed at the gym is the presence of instructors and colleagues who can consult. Without them, it would be difficult and very difficult to keep going to the gym.

The most i would like is professional advice from instructor. I never been to the gym. I don't like to exercise. But I think I have to exercise these days. Now, in this situation, We have fewer opportunities to exercise because of staying home. To my health, I decided to exercise. But I don't know how to do that or what should I do. So I want instructor to teach me how to exercise professionally. So if I go to gym, I would like to tell me advices about exercise.

First of all, I would like to have a private trainer because I am so bad using my body to stretch or doing any sport. So, for me, it is indispensable a private trainer not to get hurt. Also, I would like that a gym has secure training machines. In other words, I give top priority to safety.

I've never been to a gym, but I like exercising, so I want to go to a gym someday. Especially, I want to do yoga because it can be done in a relaxed way, it has a positive effect on my body and mind. Recently, it seems that there is also training to ride a bicycle underwater. It looks so interesting that I would like to try it someday.

I have never been to a gym, but I want to go. I think I'm lacking exercise recently. If I go to there, I want to use running machine. With this I can run even on a rainy day. And I want to take dance lesson. Dancing is fun and relieves stress.

I have never been to the gym. So I'm not sure what kind of facility gym is. If I go to the gym, I want a shower room. I have two reasons for this thinking. First, I can heal my body after getting tired. After intense exercise, my body becomes very tired. In addition, I can clean my body on the spot so that I can return home comfortably. Second, Showers are available at relatively low rates. Some people use the pool, but I think it's easy to get a shower. Also, because it is a private room, I can spend comfortably.

I'd love a gym where intimacy is respected. I'm quite introverted but I feel good when I do some yoga or dance classes, so I love it when instructors are respectful and give you your times. Also, I love a nice pool at the gyms because I love swimming.

If I entrance to a gym, it's good to have boxer size and dance lessons. I can enjoy exercising with these two. I think I can do my best even if it's hard because of the music. Also, I work out with many members, so I think we can deepen our relationship through lessons. However, when I want to exercise alone at my own pace, I want to use the pool. I have taken swimming lessons. If you don't swim early, you don't get so tired. And you can build a flexible body.
