Top 5 tips when joining a gym

When joining a gym in Bristol there are a few things to consider – like the distance from your house, or the range on classes of offer. You also need to remember to buy the right gear and to eat an hour in advance before a workout. With so much to deliberate, what are the top 5 things to remember when joining a gym?
