Q) Is it worth joining a gym if you can only work out late after work? And what about dinner, isn't it bad to eat late?

A) It is hard to juggle a healthy lifestyle and a hectic work schedule.
It would most deffinitely be worthwhile setting up a routine where you finish work and go directly to the gym. In fact, that is the way most people do it!
7:00pm - 8:00pm is a popular training spot for a great deal of people, who find it quite productive and worthwhile to work-out at a later time.

As for eating too late, don't worry about it so much. It's healthier to exercise well and eat a little later than to not exercise properly and eat at an earlier time. The particular time that you consume your food is a great deal less important than the quantity and QUALITY of the food you eat, so don't stress about it!

The key to eating later is to make sure that you have a snack (such as a portioin of yoghurt, a piece of fruit etc) in the early evening. After your workout, don't eat a HEAVY meal, a smaller meal will do, as you've already consumed your early evening snack!

At Shapes, we also offer early morning starts, so this may be another option for you? Our shower facilities are great (nice hot water) so you can leave directly from here for work.
