tsdprime93 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I was wondering if anyone might have some input into whether it would be better to go to a full scale gym or to a small scale fitness club for this situation.I am trying to improve my stamina as well as my core muscles. I also would like to work on my range of flexibility. I am really aiming for some USAT gold and want a strict regime and intense training. Should I get a private trainer ($$) or just follow a set schedule? Thankyou!

bushido_man96 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I think looking into getting a trainer may be what you want. They are usually pretty good about assesing your goals and helping to reach them. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Try the full scale gym. They may have some interns that are physical trainers in class, or something like that. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 You may find something there. Are there any gyms in your area that are devoted to weight training? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsdprime93 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 You may find something there. Are there any gyms in your area that are devoted to weight training?Not that I can find, I only checked yellow pages, but I will look a little further. I did email the fitness trainer at the Y, but I am still awaiting an answer.

nanook660 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 My Karate Class is held at the YMCA so I have access to the gym, pool, and other classes as well. I try to go to the gym twice a week on the off days when I am not doing Karate. It does help. The only difference between the possible and the impossible is one's will. - Hironori Ohtsuka Sensei - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I sent an email to the fitness director and am still awaiting an answer from her. Hopefulley she will return the email.
