Answer

We all know that exercise is good for us and one way to keep fit is to join a gym. However, is going to the gym the best option?

There are many benefits to going to a gym. Firstly, you have access to all the proper equipment. For example, you can use weights and exercise machines and gyms have personal trainers to offer help, advice and support. In this way, you can exercise in a way that suits you. In addition, gyms have long opening hours. This means that you can exercise at a time that fits around your schedule.

On the other hand, there are some disadvantages to gyms. Firstly, gym memberships are expensive. They can be costly and usually the fees go up every year. Secondly, exercising at a gym can be boring. You are stuck indoors repeating monotonous exercises.

All in all, there are both pros and cons to exercising in a gym. If someone cannot exercise in the open air, then the gym is the best option to keep fit.
