Trust me, as a personal trainer of over 11 years, if you’re over 30 and planning to work out after getting off work at 5, do not sign up with a big box gym. While the low prices and vast facilities might seem enticing, you’re also going to have to deal with massive overcrowding and young folks sitting on the machines you want to use while staring at their phones FOREVER. You already don’t have a lot of free time, so having a time-efficient fitness experience is your best friend, and you’re not going to get that at a gym that’s on Nasdaq or the Dow.
