Taking part in physical activity has an abundance of benefits which aren’t just surrounding physical changes such as weight loss or muscle growth and right here right now is when we’re going to take you through just a hand full of the advantages you can benefit from!

Access to equipment and expert knowledge

If you want to get started on your health and fitness goals but don’t know where to start, then joining a gym is the perfect place to get access to qualified nutritionists and fitness instructors who can help you with any questions you may have! They’ll be able to point you in the right direction and even go through specific exercises with you which will be more effective in meeting your specific goals. Purchasing your own gym equipment can be extremely costly so by joining a gym you’ll get access to all the equipment you’d need!

Give your immune system a boost

Not only can regular exercise help improve cognitive function, but it can also aid in the prevention of a number of health problems and concerns including heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and stroke to just name a few!

Keep yourself motivated

By putting yourself in a gym environment it can be daunting, to begin with. But, being surrounded by other motivated people can actually encourage you to stay on track making you more and more likely to meet your specific goals! Another benefit of being in a gym environment means that there will be little to no distractions compared to if you were to work out at home or at the park per se, making it the prime place to be to find the motivation to keep going no matter the weather.

Say goodbye to your stress

Because physical activity stimulates brain chemicals such as endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin by taking part in physical activity it can actually leave you feeling happier, more relaxed, and less anxious. Forget about your stresses and enjoy the feel-good endorphins! Not to forget that the fitter you get the better your body becomes at regulating its cortisol level which is the hormone linked to stress.

Sense of Community

Belonging to a gym doesn’t mean exercising on your own, you’ll be able to meet new like-minded people during fitness classes and even on the gym floor. It can be a lot more social than you think allowing for the possibility to make lifelong friends. This sense of community can also become a motivating factor when attempting to reach your health and fitness goals with a bit of friendly competition.

So, when you are filled up with your New Year motivation get involved at Llandarcy Academy of Sport, get started on your personal health and fitness goals, and reap the rewards of all the other benefits joining a gym can bring!
