Is Fitness/Health club membership sufficient to help members control their weight and meet their dietary recommendations?

 Fitness/Health club membership might not be sufficient to help members control their

weight and meet their dietary recommendations. Targeted nutritional services, staff, or amenities

may be what members need to control their weight and meet their dietary recommendations.

Healthy eating habits are an essential complement to physical activity. Together, they facilitate

and maintain a healthy weight, as well as improve general fitness and sports performance.

Sports-related healthy eating is defined as a diet that provides sufficient energy for the sports

routines and aids in the repair and development of body tissues. It is possible for Fitness/Health

club members to acquire sports or general nutritional knowledge from many sources other than

the nutritional services, staff, or amenities provided at Fitness/Health clubs, but it may not be the

knowledge appropriate for sports or general related activity. Also nutritional staff (registered

dietitians or certified nutritionists) are well equipped to provide proper nutritional education to

the public in a community, clinical or private setting. As health professionals, they are

constantly informed of the latest scientific research, and thus provide their clients with the

appropriate educational materials tailored to their needs and expectation. To our knowledge, no

available published research has studied the content and relevance of nutritional services, staff,

or amenities provided at Fitness/Health clubs to club members. The novelty of this study will

elucidate this knowledge gap along with the joining factors of club members, whether there is

significance in members’ general and sports nutritional knowledge among the Fitness/Health

club types, the usage of nutritional services available at their club among the Fitness/Health club

types, and the predictors related to their sports and general nutritional knowledge.
