Recommendation Report

To: Family of Eight
From: Brianna Barker
Subject: Recommendation for YMCA

After doing research on gyms around you're area, I narrowed it down to two: The YMCA or Chuze Fitness. Both are extremely popular and offer various things. I've broken it down into three catagories to compare from:

1. Gym Equipment 

2. Extra Activities 

3. Cost for Membership

RECOMMENDATION

I recommend that you and your family go with the YMCA due to it's many amounts of kid safe activities to accommodate  your large family, and the cost for a family membership is great.

DISCUSSION 

Gym Equipment:

With six children, five of which are teenagers, all into different work outs, you would need a gym with enough work out equipment and availability.

YMCA:

This gyms set up is large and has a lot of different machines to work out on. It's separated into two rooms, one for just machines and the other for free weights. This keeps it safe for young children, and also gives the parents a little separation from the kids while working out.

Chuze Fitness:

Chuze offers a huge space filled with many machines that work out everything. There's an abundance of cardio equipment, as well as free weights. This gym is also known for being the cleanest gym facility out there, which is a huge plus.

Conclusion: 

Chuze is a great choice if you're really stern into working out and want to get things done. On the other hand, the Y is a great choice because its family friendly with the same offer of work out equipment. You can work out while still enjoying your family.

Extra Activities:

Because your family is so large and diverse, you need a gym that offers as much activities and classes possible.

YMCA: 

The Y has an outdoor Olympic sized pool, and a separate kiddy pool with a huge water slide tower. It also has an indoor gymnasium with full gymnastic equipment. This gym offers every possible work out class as well, like Zumba and Gravity, water aerobics, swim lessons, boxing and gymnastics.

Chuze Fitness: 

Chuze offers work out classes like Zumba, Pilates, and boxing, along with a work out bootcamp that people can join to burn off extra calories. This gym also has its own hydromessage area and tanning beds. It does not have a pool.

Conclusion:

Chuze offers a lot of intense work out activities, but for adults. The Y offers a lot more kid and family oriented activities for all age groups and levels.

Cost of Membership:

You have a very large family, so a good, low deal of a monthly membership would be beneficial.

YMCA: 

The Y offers a Family Plan Plus which allows you to be able to go to any YMCA facility for only $81 monthly. If you don't want the Plus plan, then the standard family plan would only be $70 per month. 

Chuze Fitness: 

Chuze has a great value of only $10 per person monthly. Although it doesn't have a family plan, the cost to allow your whole family to join would be $80 per month. 

Conclusion:

Both the YMCA and Chuze have the same cost when it comes down to it.
