Do you want to save time while working out at the gym or fitness center? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wondering how you can efficiently make use of your time while you\u2019re there without stressing out<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a frequent gym goer or are just starting on a new fitness regime (hello New Year\u2019s Resolution!<\/a>), it\u2019s well worth your time to plan and organize your visits to the gym, park, or fitness center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, you’ll find a handful of tips to help you better manage your time at the gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to remember that any time management, whether it\u2019s managing your time at the gym, the length of your commute<\/a> or meetings at work<\/a>, will have a direct impact on the rest of your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the more reason to learn how to better manage your time<\/a>…in any way you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we start today\u2019s post, thanks to N.S.I. for suggesting this blog topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know your way around the gym.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you\u2019ve been going to the same gym for several months (or years), you may not know where everything is located. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this your first step in taking back your time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Request a full tour of the gym facility from a staff member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll get to know where cardio, weight machines, free weights, and other exercise equipment are located. You might also want to brush up on the location of fitness rooms within the gym itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When all is said and done, you\u2019ll spend less time <\/a>looking around the gym for what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn how to properly use equipment.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not knowing how to properly use gym equipment can really slow down your workout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, you may eventually be able to figure out how to adjust the seat for that bicep curl machine through trial and error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you\u2019ll be that much more knowledgeable and will save yourself time<\/a> and frustration if you just ask for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locate a gym staff member and ask them to show you how to properly operate and use the equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, if your gym or fitness center offers equipment orientation sessions for their members, be sure to sign up. You\u2019ll be glad you did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be aware of your gym\u2019s hours and schedule.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Quick: what time does your gym open on Thursday morning? What time does the gym close on Saturday? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re unsure, consider downloading or printing out a copy of your gym\u2019s schedule from their website. You can also ask for a schedule at the front desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also sign up for your gym\u2019s email newsletter or follow them on your favorite social media network, so you\u2019ll be in the loop as to any changes to gym hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having this information in hand will make it much easier to plan your workouts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll know when the gym is open if you need to adjust your workout one day of the week. You’ll also know which classes and trainings are offered on any given day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan your workouts ahead of time.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What workout are you going to do today? Cardio? Weights? Fitness class? Haven\u2019t the faintest clue? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, you may want to consider planning your workouts ahead of time. You\u2019ll know exactly which exercises and machines you\u2019re going to use on any given day. This will in turn help you keep the rest of your calendar<\/a> running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can plan your workouts at the beginning or end of each week using a fitness app on your smart phone. Or, you can go the old-fashioned route and plan your exercises with a pen and notebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re having trouble finding time<\/a> to get to the gym on a regular basis, make sure you prioritize your workouts.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honor and respect your time<\/a> by scheduling your workout<\/a> directly into your calendar, just as you would any other appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget: personal appointments are important, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
