So, you want to join a gym.

Not sure where to start? We've scoured out the best free gym passes so you can try your workout location before you sign that dotted line.
That's because not all gyms are created equal. Some have fancy changing rooms and top-notch classes, while others have flexible opening hours and every-sized weight you can think of to lunge at.
As a result, we're strong believers in trying before you buy - because not only do gym-goers spend an average of a a whole working day in their gym each week, but feeling comfortable in the place you workout is key to sticking to a training regime and getting those all-important results.
To help you make the right choice, we've rounded up nine complimentary gym trials around the UK - ranging from one to ten days - so you can do a workout recce before you commit to spending each month (the average Londoner shells out over £600 a year on their gym membership, FYI). Be savvy, and save your money for some pretty new gym kit. You're welcome.
