TeachStreet Q&A helped me pick my gym
I mentioned this past weekend that my New Year starts on February 1, 2010. January has been a jam packed month of craziness, now I’m able to settle down and unwind. The first step for me now was to pick a gym and I used TeachStreet Q&A (just launched a couple weeks ago in beta) to help me with my decision.
As a student, you might be interested in taking yoga lessons — but you don’t know what type of yoga you’d want to enroll in (bikram, vinyasa, etc.). Instead of just asking one yoga teacher for advice, asking a question notifies our yoga teachers, opted in to the program, to answer. This allows you to get different opinions from real experts in the subject area, which is great!
A week ago, I was looking for a gym and I had specific requirements, so I asked:
Question: What should I be looking for when evaluating a new gym?
I got several different answers in a day before I closed the question. One of the teachers actually recommended the gym I joined, Rain Fitness. These were experts in “Exercise & Fitness” and all of their suggestions were helpful in making my decision.
So, if you have any questions about subjects you’re interested in learning, ask a question and get some free advice before jumping straight in. It definitely helps.
