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.

What I like most about a gym is variety of the machines that you can find for been fitnees and keep in shape.
Going to the gym is part of my daily routine. I go to the gym six days a week except on Mondays because gym is close on Mondays. One thing I like about the gym is that it has a lot of equipment which I can't access at home. When I work out at my home, it's really difficult to motivate myself. Even though I feel bored working out at the gym, I find motivation from others exercising like me. Sometimes, I'm bored to go to the gym due to muscle pain and overall body soreness. Nevertheless, I remind myself that this is a responsibility whether I enjoy it or not. I can't see my body change within a few days but after a few months, witnessing my body transform makes me feel very satisfied and eventually, consistency pays off. Working out is necessary for our health and body. We need to be physically and mentally strong because they're interrelated. If we are healthy and strong, we can lead a healthier life which leads to a happier life.
For me, I am keen on going to the gym because it helps me improve my physical appearance and enhance my health.
I don't think No 7 answer correct?
According to context, it shows the gym is open 24/7, it never close. exercises are very good. that is the only way to keep active and strong .
Hi maureen120,
You might be confusing the meaning with "The gym opens at 4 o'clock in the morning". The verb "open(s)" means "starts to be open", or "starts doing business".
The question says: The gym is open at 4 o'clock in the morning. This is different. "Is open" simply means its status is "open" and not closed, at that moment.
So, taking a different example, if a restaurant opens (i.e., starts doing business) at 12:00 pm, we can say that it is open at 12:01 pm, 12:02 pm, 12:03 pm (etc.) and every moment until it closes.
That's why question 7 is "true". I hope that helps to clarify the answer!

Thanks so much for that clearfication. I know better now.
Workout is vital for me actually I do it everyday. It makes me stronger physically and mentally . First I used to do my training with an expert to learn me how to do it and when, why to do it i addition to the benefits . After that I became able to do all the exercises by my own. Lots of equipment is important that means no long wait. And don’t waste my time with out practice . Sport complex community around me is a bid motivation to involve all sports events continuously.
Workouts are very important for me, it's a big part of my life and my routine for years. Regular workouts are making me stronger physically and mentally. I like strength trainings and cardio. The good gym aquipment is also very important.
Is the question 7 answer correct?
The gym is open at 4 a.m.? Why the answer is True. According to context, it shows the gym is open 24/7, it never close.
Hello Ss1335224,
'True' is the correct answer here.
When 'open' is a verb it means to stop being closed. For example, if we say 'The shop opens at 7.00' then it means that you can't buy anything before 7.00.
However, when 'open' is an adjective it means not closed. Thus, if we say 'The shop is open 24/7' then it means it is always open. It is open at 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00 etc.
