About us
You don't want just a gym membership. You want a membership that means something. And that means you need support, expert help and a community.
Best Body Fitness isn't just a gym: it's a full-service fitness membership made for you.
Here's how it works:
STEP ONE: Your assessment
We begin with an assessment session. This is a chance for you to see what we do at Best Body. Our assessment plans are no-cost and no-risk. We'll also make a training plan specifically for you.
STEP TWO: Your training
When you decide to become a Best Body member, we show you what to do, how to do it and why you are doing it. After a few sessions with an expert private trainer you will feel comfortable working out on your own. But don't worry, we'll always be nearby if you have questions.
STEP THREE: Your membership
Membership works on a month-to-month basis. There are no sign-up fees and no cancellation fees. Start and stop whenever you want. And the best part? Our fees are the most competitive in the whole downtown area.
STEP FOUR: Your community
At Best Body Fitness, we see everyone as part of a big team. And when you work with a team, you can do great things. Join any of our specialised classes, led by expert instructors. Come to our nutrition classes. Participate in our regular social events. Everything is included in your fee.
Finally, we wanted to share with you some reasons why our members say that they have chosen us over any other fitness centre in the city.

I don't like a gym that much. I think I was unlucky at that time. Gym trainer only care a member for the first day. Later, you can do any equipment as you like. They are not interested to train or how to use equipment. They only care a person who hire the personal trainer at that gym.
I hope there should be a gym like this. every gym needs to have a good eqiupments and stuff, that makes like a community gym.
Really cool to know about other people's preferences about gyms! If I had to choose something specific from a gym to say it's a good one, it would be a specific training plan for each member. Thank you
For me what I like most about going to the gym other than gaining muscle and keeping my body healthy is it gives me the energy and motivates me to do my homework during the day, it keeps me away from laziness and procrastination.
so yeah I love going to the gym.
Hi. I have qustion about Task 1
7. The gym is open at 4 o'clock in the morning...
When a choose FALSE - answer wrong.
But. In the text
Easy to access – we're open 24/7, we never close. ?
Hello Kotan6,
If the gym is open '24/7', this means it is open 24 hours per day 7 days a week. This means it never closes.
Therefore the gym is open at 4 o'clock in the morning, which means the correct answer is True.
Does that make sense?
All the best,

Hi Kotan6, I thought the same as you, but the question is still correct, that is, it is open at 4 am. But I agree that it generates more than one interpretation.
It's true because they are open 24/7, the question indicates if the gym already open at 4 o'clock
Sometimes we are surprized by content as we have no idea what is talking about. In the capital city where I live, there rarely are a gym that is open like 24/7, so at the first glance, we consider it as a false sentence. Because we've already know there is no gym that is open after 12:00 PM.
It has happend to me a billion of times. :D
the answer is true because the gym is open 21 hours
