Don’t slip! Five ways Snap helps you stay on track.

We’re only a few weeks into the New Year, but for many people the motivation to keep up with those New Year’s Resolutions is fading fast. To help keep you on track, check out our top five tips to get in your best shape ever in 2010.

1. Get on a workout plan
You’ve made the choice to start getting fit; but where do you begin? It’s important to create a complete, easy-to-follow exercise plan in order to achieve the results you want.

As a member of Snap Fitness, we’ll provide you with free instruction along with a workout orientation session, taking you through a full body workout and giving you more value from your membership. Plus, you can always check out online video tutorials of our Basic 8 workout on your Personal Web Page, for instructions on how to use any piece of equipment in our club!

If you haven’t already, ask your club for your free instruction, or request a session from your Personal Web Page.

2. Ask an expert
Whether you’re a beginner looking for some professional advice or a long-time exerciser interested in taking your workout to the next level, talk with your club’s Fitness Professional about your goals. You can get a free fitness assessment, during which your cardio health, strength and flexibility are tested. Plus, they’ll help you with a workout and nutrition program that’s right for you. Others typically charge $100 for this service and it’s totally free for you if your club offers personal training. And if the assessment is not available, take advantage of your free instruction and workout plan. In addition to providing you tips and ideas to help you get achieve results, a Fitness Professional can also give you details about a variety of low-priced personal training packages designed for your specific needs.

Check out your club’s Personal Training options on your Personal Web Page.

3. Find a workout buddy
It’s always easier to stay motivated when you have a partner! Grab a friend, family member or co-worker and commit to reaching your goals together. Plus, every time you refer a friend to Snap Fitness and that person joins our club, you get rewarded with gift cards to name-brand retailers and much more! Log on to your Personal Web Page today and send someone a free buddy pass to get started.

4. Watch what you eat
Working out is a great first step, but it takes more than exercise to get results. By getting on a healthy eating plan, you’ll be able to slim down, tone up and feel great. As a Snap Fitness member, you can take advantage of a free 30-day trial of our Online Nutrition & Meal Planning service. Just answer a few basic questions and our handy online tool creates a plan that’s right for you. It’s like having your own dietician at your fingertips!

5. Add some variety to your workout
Variety is the spice of life – and your workout routine shouldn’t be any exception! Get energized by taking part in our fun, free Fitness Challenges, designed to help keep you motivated while introducing you to new exercisers you may have never tried before.
