You can help others develop and discover their love for exercise by sharing great reviews on Google Maps. Whether you’re impressed with the gym at a hotel or enjoy running trails at a local park every morning, your reviews can help guide others to great places to work up a sweat.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when writing reviews for fitness fans.

Share how clean you think the facilities are  

Germs, bacteria, and viruses can easily spread in damp environments, so cleanliness is an important factor to consider when working out. Many gyms provide wipes and surface cleaners for people to use before and after the workout. In your review, praise places that are well-maintained. You can even ask management about how they keep their place  clean.

Call out specific types of equipment

Share what kind of equipment you can find at a gym or fitness studio---and what shape it’s in. If machines are often broken or not working properly, mention that, too.

Include tips about the fitness classes offered--and your favorite instructors  

Wherever you are on your fitness journey, joining a workout class can be a great way to improve your workouts. In your review, include the types of classes offered at the gym and recommend great instructors.

Mention what makes the place special

Does the gym have a pool or sauna? Do they only play hits from the ‘90s? Are there tons of classes for people with a wide range of fitness levels? Share this information in your review.

Hi, 

I have been taking gym reviews to the next level and started doing a walk through of the gym, followed by a sample of my workout in that gym, where I not only use/test the equipment but also taking other things into consideration e.g. environment. I end the video with pros and cons of that gym with regards to the 'Average Joe' kind of guy.

I definitely think this is the next step for gym reviews and hope it follows suit soon.

If you want to check the videos out you can type 'man Vs mind gym review' into YouTube. Have a look and let me know what you think by like/dislike or leaving a comment.

Cheers,

Man Vs Mind
