My gym is too busy!

"My gym was too busy so I couldn't follow the my program."

This is something I hear this a lot from friends, or clients who also train at another gym outside of their personal training sessions at Real World Fitness. Most commercial gyms in Nottingham have loads of cardio equipment, but no where near enough strength equipment for how many members they have.  
This results in people not being able to do what they had planned on doing.

I was chatting to a personal trainer at one of the biggest gym chains in the country and I asked her how they write a program for her clients. She told me she has to change the session every time depending on what equipment was free. This clearly isn't optimal. I've written before about the importance of following a plan and not just turning up and randomly doing what you feel like. Back when I first qualified as a personal trainerI had an interview for the biggest gym in England.
I booked a day pass the day before the interview to have a look around. I was shocked at how bad it was. Two squat racks and a que of people on most of the equipment.I cancelled my interview there and then.

So why do people decide to train at these gyms when there are better options? Often it's because it's cheaper or closer to where they live.
While these are good reasons, if you're putting time and money into the gym, don't you want to get results? Are those results worth an extra £5 a week? Or an extra 10 minutes in the car?

Fortunately that isn't a problem at Real World Fitness. We have, 5 squat racks, 3 flat benches, threedeadlift platforms and plenty of barbells (none are bent) while keeping our members down to 120. This means that you never have to wait to do any of the main lifts, or change your program. You also won't feel rushed having people always asking you how many sets you have left as they want to get on the equipment

The clients that train at the gym always achieve better results than my clients who have PT with me and then go to a commercial gym.
