If you’re going to start going to the gym, then you will want to get there safely and in style. Exercising has never been more relevant. Our governments have made it clear to us all, that in combination with the COVID-19 vaccine, the best way to prevent breakthrough infections is to get physically active and strengthen our immune systems. If you’re going to start going to the gym to strengthen your body and immune system, then you need to make sure that you get there efficiently.
In this article, we will explain how you can get to the gym safely and in style:
Running
If you want to get fit, then a good way to get to the gym is running. While it isn’t stylish, it’s definitely a great way to improve your workout. Running to the gym only requires appropriate footwear and a gym backpack, which doesn’t cost very much. You can save yourself a lot of money by getting to the gym yourself. In terms of safety, it’s probably best to run to the gym during daylight. If you’re concerned with your safety, you won’t want to go out running after dark.
Public Transport
Travelling on public transport is mostly safe. If you’re going to travel to the gym by train or bus, make sure that you wear a mask to protect yourself. Breakthrough infections can happen, not to mention that governments around the world are warning of a severe flu season. Make sure you wear adequate personal protective equipment, to protect yourself and others around you. Public transport isn’t very stylish, but it’s definitely very efficient. If you don’t care about how you’re perceived or how you look, then take public transport to get to the gym.
Electric Scooter
Electric scooters are a great way to get around if you can afford one. They’re very stylish and are enjoyed by people of all ages. There are different laws on riding them, depending on where you are in the world. You need to make sure that you’re legally allowed to ride your electric scooter on the road if you’re going to go out on one. It’s not safe to ride one on the pavement because you risk bumping into people and hurting them. If you’re going to ride an electric scooter, make sure that you’re cautious so that you don’t hurt anybody [or yourself].
Biking
Another good way to get to the gym is biking. It’s also a good way to get fit and it’s very safe because you’ll be moving too fast for anybody to stop you or catch you. If you’re going to go to the gym at night on your bike, then you need to make sure that you wear a high-vis jacket and attach neon strips to your bike. This is so that you can be seen in the dark. You’ll also need to attach a torch to the front of your bike so that you can see where you’re going.
Electric Bike
If you don’t want to travel on an ordinary bike, then why not invest in an electric bike? Electric bikes are very safe, reasonably priced, and easy to travel with. Some of them fold up, which makes them easy to carry on the train and on the bus. Electric bikes are also equipped with lights on the front, which means that you’ll be able to see where you’re going at night without having to make aftermarket modifications. If you’re going to use an electric bike, make sure you’re cautious and careful around other people sharing the road with you. You could also consider investing in a motorbike, which is very stylish.
Taxi
There’s nothing as stylish as having your own personal driver collect you and take you to the gym. If you’re not a multi-millionaire then you won’t have a ‘personal driver’ – but you can phone a taxi, which is more or less the same thing. Services like Uber allow you to phone for luxury private hire vehicles. If you have the cash, you can have them wait outside the gym for you to finish. This is stylish and safe, but also very expensive. If you’re concerned about your safety, however, then it’s a good option.
Skateboarding
Skateboarding is also a great way to get to the gym, especially if you want to look stylish. Skateboarding is very popular again now. It’s not the safest mode of transport, however. You don’t have brakes and a pebble under your wheels will send you flying. If you’re less concerned with safety and more concerned with style, then skateboarding is the best option for you. The good thing about skateboards is that they’re compact, easy to store, and very affordable. You can pick everything up second hand or from a shop for next to nothing.
Driving
If you’ve got your own car, then you could always just drive to the gym. It’s very safe, cheap, and if your car’s nice, then it’s stylish too. Unless you’re going to run to the gym or walk to improve your fitness, then there’s no point in paying for expensive equipment – or a taxi – to get you to the gym. Driving to the gym is fast and efficient, also. It’s definitely a method of travel you’ll want to consider if you have the means to. You could consider borrowing a friend or your partner’s car to get there.
Walking
Walking isn’t particularly stylish – if you’re out after dark then it isn’t very safe either. If you’re on a budget however and don’t enjoy running, then it’s definitely the most superior way to travel. Walking to the gym is best if the gym’s close to your house. If it’s a distance away, then you should probably opt for a more efficient method of transport. Walking can be very good for your health if you walk briskly. When you’re walking, you have an opportunity to collect your thoughts and reflect upon the day, which can help you to make decisions.
If you’re going to the gym, you need to get there safely. Getting there in style is an added bonus, but it’s not something you should worry about. All of the tips in this article should be considered if you’re thinking about ways to travel to the gym.
