Industry Tips
Health Spas/Weight Loss centers
Before you decide to join a health spa or weight loss facility, it is strongly recommended that you consult your doctor about starting an exercise or diet regimen.
If you're thinking of joining a health spa or weight loss clinic, be sure to comparison shop for this service as you would for any major purchase. Find out about the center's costs, facilities, services and your contractual responsibilities before you sign up.
Keep in mind that you are more likely to use the facility if it is located near your home or office. If you have to drive or ride public transportation over a great distance, chances are that you'll lose your enthusiasm and drop out.
If the spa or center you're interested in promises a great deal but is not built or open for business yet, it may not be wise to sign up at once. The salesperson may try to impress you with brochures picturing the future facility and offer a charter membership at a low rate. However, you may want to wait until the facility is a reality in your community before you commit your money.
