Hello, this is the owner of Orange Fitness, a gym in Kai City, Yamanashi.
“I’d like to join a gym, but I’m such a beginner that I’m anxious…” “Is it OK to ask something like this?” Do you have worries like these?
At Orange Fitness in Kai City, Yamanashi, we have worked with a great many people new to the gym. In this post we answer the typical questions and worries we hear most often.
Q1: What should I wear?
A: Comfortable T-shirts or sweats are fine. You don’t need special workout wear, but you’ll sweat, so quick-dry fabric is best. Please also bring indoor training shoes. Any shoes with clean soles are OK.
Q2: What if I don’t know how to use a machine?
A: Don’t worry. At Orange Fitness, staff are always on the floor. Even if it’s your first time at a gym, we’ll explain how to use the machines carefully. We support each person so you can start safely and without strain, as many times as you like, at no extra charge.
Q3: How often should I train?
A: For gym beginners, two to three times a week is ideal. You may get sore at first, but your body gradually gets used to it. You don’t have to go every day. Keeping it up is what counts. If you’re busy, a schedule you can manage is fine.
Q4: Are there gym manners?
A: Yes. Following a few basic manners lets everyone use the gym comfortably. For example, wipe the machine down with a towel when you finish, and take turns. Staff are always watching over the floor, so ask if you’re unsure.
