As signing up to a gym becomes more widespread, people are on the look out for what gyms offer more for the lowest price. In Hammonton, the most popular gyms include 54 Fitness, Planet Fitness, and Hammonton Health and Fitness.

 Rivalry becomes more apparent between the three gyms, each continues to update their refinement in order to attract more clientele.With Hammonton Health and Fitness providing a variety of aerobic classes including Zumba, Karate, and Kickboxing, one can explore different physical activities. Those who attend this gym are exposed to a snack bar that allows one to purchase certain drinks to enhance their workout.

“This gym is one of the best around. It has a great staff and is very clean. It has many different styles of workout equipment for everyone’s body type,” said senior James Brady.

 Tyler Oster, a senior, agreed, saying,  “It’s an original gym. When you think of a gym, it’s the first place that comes to your mind”.

With 54 Fitness being located across town, it holds an appeal for more mature and serous wight lifters. It is a smaller gym which allows for less distraction from big crowds. It holds smaller group classes for those who are interested.

With Planet Fitness being a new franchise gym, it offers a vast majority of workout styles and plans. Although it does not offer classes, there are guest privileges, tanning, and personal trainers available for those who hold a black card. With Planet Fitness on the rise, it holds an attraction to younger clients looking for a low priced workout facility.

“ A lot of younger people tend to go to Planet Fitness,” said senior Billy Boyle,  “because its new and people want to see what it holds.”

Although the gyms create a different atmosphere, they all maintain the same gym values. They all hold the same basic equipment such as treadmills, weights, cardio machines, and tv’s to allow people to watch their entertainment while working out. The price range for all three gyms ranges from roughly ten dollars to twenty dollars depending on the membership one chooses.
