Well, we may be biased... After all, we have the best gym in Herzliya Pituach, yes?! (What modesty huh?
) but regardless of us, here is a short guide that will help you to choose a gym correctly and in accordance with your needs.
Choosing the right gym for you is more about comfort; It's about finding a place where you can make a commitment to yourself for your fitness and nutrition journey.
Here are some important questions you should ask yourself:
- Convenience of the gym location - It is very important that you are comfortable arriving. A gym close to home or work will reduce the chance of not coming and will allow you to easily integrate the gym into your daily routine.
- Equipment and instruments - A well-equipped gym will help you maintain diversity and effectiveness in your training. Make sure there is at least one cage (for squats, chest presses, etc.), a bench for chest presses and enough bars and plates. Beyond that, machines are a matter of personal taste and preference, but usually a chest press machine, rowing machine, poly (the machine with the cables), treadmills, bikes and stairs will do the job.
- Professional staff - It is important that you have someone to turn to if you need specific help with a certain exercise or perhaps to understand how to work with a machine you are not familiar with. Of course, this is not a substitute for a personal trainer or one-on-one personal training, but it is really important to have a professional to guide you if necessary.
- atmosphere - Here it's a matter of personal preference, maybe you like big gyms with loud music and flashy neon lighting, or maybe a clean CrossFit style gym, or a boutique gym that's smaller and nicer with less noise and clutter. The best way is to just come and see for yourself. By the way, always recommended Coordinate personal training (In most places you can coordinate an initial personal training at a lower cost) Then "catch two birds with one stone": both feel the vibe of the place and examine the staff.
- Price and commitment - Here too it is a relative matter and depends on what you are looking for. You can find commercial gyms like Spice and Icon whose price is significantly lower compared to other gyms, or maybe you are looking for something of higher quality that will usually cost you more. Do the math and see what suits you. Beyond that, you need to check what the cancellation conditions are, is the subscription for a year in advance? What happens if you want to cancel, cancellation fees, etc.
At Nix Gym, for example, the pricing is not cheap (not even that expensive to be honest and depends on the type of subscription, but for example a gym subscription is NIS 399 per month - as of this writing) and the cancellation conditions are simple by giving a month's advance notice.
Here are some options in Herzliya:
- Peleg Gym: one of the oldest gyms in Herzliya, existing since 1983, an "old school" gym, focuses mainly on those looking for a bodybuilding atmosphere like the old days. A great place if you connect to the section.
- Holmes Place: a gym that is also a "Wellness Center" including a spa, a large gym and classes. Located in Beit Ampa.
- EMS Club: The EMS method is a technology that enables training by simultaneously activating all the muscles of the body with the help of electrical pulses, technically it is not really a gym but it is a different concept.
- Publica City Club: Located right next to us in the Yisrotel Hotel on Abba Even Street (we are one junction ahead west towards the sea), the place offers a fully equipped gym, a boxing ring and a variety of classes.
Oh, wait, and of course there are us too...
Let us sell ourselves a little... what happened? 🙂
So nice to meet you, we are NYX GYM, a boutique gym located in the prestigious NYX Hotel in Herzliya Pituach. We are on the minus 1 floor of the hotel (the hotel is on the corner of Naomi Shemer/Aba Even), our concept is a little different. So it's true, we are a gym, a boutique gym located inside a hotel. For some people this can be seen as an advantage and for some it may be a disadvantage.
Disadvantage? Could be... because our gym is not big. It's not small either, but it's not a big gym like Spice, Icon and the like. But what is certain is this that you can find with us everything you need to train in the best and most enjoyable way.
Here's a gallery of all the gear we have here at Knicks:
Our focus at Nix Gym is mainly To take you from point A to point B and deliver you a real change in everything related to fitness, nutrition and lifestyle of a healthy and balanced lifestyle. The way we do it is by a precise method and a team of skilled trainers who do it from morning to evening.
So how do we do it?
First of all, as we said earlier, there are no secrets here. Just work in a methodical and consistent way, putting the basic principles (which work best!) as a top priority.
As the great Leonardo da Vinci once said "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"
Here at Nix Gym, we focus on an organized training program that fits each client exactly, we make sure that the training is suitable for the client, we take into account injuries or limitations if there are any and of course we make sure that we get stronger from training to training 
Of course, training, no matter how good it is, will not work well if we do not have an appropriate nutritional plan. In fact, it is our diet that will determine whether we will gain or lose weight and will also affect the quality of our training. In short, nutrition is a very important and inseparable part of any program. Here too, our team will make sure to guide you towards your goal with an ordered nutritional plan.
Our VIP subscription comes in three variations:
STARTER VIP - One personal training session per week (4 personal training sessions per month) + nutritional guidance
PREMIUM VIP - Two personal training sessions per week (8 training sessions per month) + nutritional guidance
TOP VIP - Three personal training sessions per week (12 training sessions per month) *This package includes the comprehensive nutritional support and follow-up, including a tailored menu and accurate follow-up throughout the entire process.
No matter which option you choose, you will have free access to the gym during all operating hours, so you can come and do some aerobics, cycling, or just work out alone at your leisure.
Huh… And none of the subscribers without obligation. Not suitable to continue? Can be canceled with a month's advance notice.
In short, the concept is a little different from other places, but if it's important to you to take yourself seriously, we'll make sure to wrap you up with the best comprehensive program that will fit you like a glove.
In any case, no matter what, don't give up on yourself, take care to maintain a training and nutrition routine and a healthy and correct lifestyle.
