What is right age for joining gym?

Maturity (16-18 years old): Growth plates haven't closed yet, so heavy weights can be risky. Learning proper form is crucial to avoid injury.

Development (all ages): Even young children can benefit from supervised exercise classes. Focus on fun and functional movement for younger age groups.

General guideline (17-18 years old): This is a typical age when the body is mature enough for weight training. Consider this a starting point, not a strict rule.

Overall health: Get a doctor's clearance before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have any health concerns.

Goals: Gyms offer a variety of activities beyond weightlifting.

Interests: Choose activities you enjoy to make exercise sustainable.

There are benefits to staying active at any age.

Gyms aren't the only option - consider team sports, dance classes, or bodyweight exercises at home.
