Finding Local Exercise or Fitness Centres - Video
In this detailed video, we’ll walk you through using maps or search apps to find local fitness centres, check reviews, and plan your visit. It’s a quick and easy way to discover the best places to exercise.
Some places to find like-minded people who want to exercise in the same way you do is using the internet. The internet is a great way for finding people to be friends with and connect with over shared activities. We cover how to do this in some of our other courses if that is something you're interested in!

Step-by-step:

1. Open Google Maps, Apple Maps, or your chosen search app. 2. Enter search terms like “gym near me” or “local fitness centre.” 3. Browse the list of results and tap on options for more details. 4. Check reviews, photos, and available facilities. 5. Save the location or you can choose to be old school and reliable and write it down for future reference. 6. Check the area using Street View if available.
