How we gather (and how to interpret) our data

Before Joining a Gym, Exercise Your Options image

Before Joining a Gym, Exercise Your Options

Before joining a gym, think about your own motivations and interests—and consider alternatives. Set realistic fitness goals, then think about whether you really need to pay a company big bucks for activities that are probably available more cheaply elsewhere.

Comparing Local Gyms and Fitness Centers image

Comparing Local Gyms and Fitness Centers

When considering a fitness facility, consider several points, including what its members say about it, location, membership fees, contract terms, facilities and equipment, classes, and amenities. Our ratings of area clubs will help you find the right fit.

How to Avoid Getting Burned by a Gym Membership

Membership at many clubs doesn’t come cheap. Although some bare-bones gyms cost about $200 a year, many charge more than $600. Want a club that offers racquet sports or a wide range of facilities and amenities? Expect to pay a lot more.

How to Find the Best Doctors

Does It Matter If Your Doctor Is Board Certified?

We advise consumers to select physicians who are “board certified,” and we report on board certification status in our ratings tables. We describe here what board certification means and why it is important.
