You may even follow the lives of high-profile athletes in your school or on the national sport scene. In this article, the aim is to to focus on the meaning associated with fitness clubs – the process through which it becomes part of the social and cultural life. The importance of doing sport as a way of preventing illness and maintaining health has often been invoked by medical specialists. In addition to the health benefits of regular exercise, the aesthetic advantages must also be mentioned. Such spaces where individuals can cultivate their appearances and maintain health are fitness clubs. In the century where speed is at its highest, individuals do not have to worry about accessing the use of fitness services. What has the ability to maintain and increase the number of members of a club is the way they communicate through social media and social interaction in the fitness club. As it is this environment precisely that which provides information about the behavior one needs to adopt in order to build and maintain a healthy body. I believe fitness clubs promote the idea of a healthy lifestyle in accordance with internal strategy and concept, health being a means of achieving a desirable physical form. The content of the information provided reflects the insistence on the concern for health control.
