The Best Dry-Erase Calendars For Gyms - 2023

While digital calendars have taken over paper calendars in many homes and offices, dry-erase board calendars provide a highly visual, more tactile way to keep lives and schedules organized. Dry-erase boards come with dry-erase markers and erasers, so you can write, erase, write, erase and so on, to your heart’s content.

These boards are useful in homes and offices and are also good for home gyms and personal trainers. These calendars have laminated surfaces for use with the dry-erase markers. When shopping, look for ones that are stain-free and resistant to “ghosting.” Ghosting occurs with use of dry-erase markers over time, particularly if you use the incorrect writing implements for the board you have or fail to clean it properly. Unfortunately, when this happens, it means that the surface has been damaged and is essentially unusable.

A basic monthly dry-erase wall calendar has a simple template that you fill in each month. Some only have date boxes, while others have room for notes. Ones that are made for gyms will have additional boxes for different body parts that you exercise, measurements and other information. You might prefer a weekly, monthly or yearly dry-erase board; others are in different increments, such as 12 weeks.

Some dry erase calendars have frames, while others do not. Frames will make them look more formal, and this might be appropriate for an office or family room. Check to see how the calendar needs to be mounted, as some will come with double-sided tape and thumbtacks. Others will have to be nailed into the wall.

• Dry-erase boards are great for keeping track of a group of people and their associated information, because they see all the data at one central location. This makes them a good choice for gyms with workout teams or clubs.
• Measure your wall space before ordering a dry-erase calendar. You won’t want one that is too big or too small to fit well.
• A calendar that is too small can be particularly difficult to use if it doesn’t have enough room for the information you’d like to record.
• Dry-erase calendars can be motivating for people who are trying to achieve fitness goals.
• In addition to the overall size, make sure that the lines and boxes are large enough to write in. You’ll want to be able to see the words from a distance.
