How long does the New Year rush for the gym last?

I'm usually in by 4:30am.....if it's when you have the time you just have to suck it up and use it.
At 4:30am, the only thing I have time to be doing is sleeping.
I'm a night owl. Telling myself I'll get up earlier to work out is just me kidding myself or setting myself up for failure. I work out in the evenings.0 -

It is most certainly a thing. Last year during the rush I went to the gym at night. I now go at 5AM, and this thread taught me (based on others' experience) that I most likely won't have to deal with the rush this time. Party, bonus.yoovie, I wish there was a like option.
Also, this is my first year of going to the gym, I've never thought about this OP, LOL! Be interesting to see the crowd. At least people are trying, even if it's for a little bit..
unfortunately there is only a flag button, so that when someone writes a post personally attacking you based on nothing, MFP can hide your response where you explain that all you are doing is defending the newcomers to the fitness world so they don't get scared off.
GOOD JOB MFP! WAY TO STAY CONSISTENT! YOU DON't DISAPPOINT!
Someone is putting down newcomers, where was that...I totally missed it.
I though we were discussing, to me anyway, a fairly interesting and what seems to be a statistically backed phenomena.
I thought it was a pretty fair game question, I mean, the new year's rush is a thing...right?
5AM is brutal! How do you do it? I notice at least a 30% decrease in strength and stamina in the morning for me...
I'm usually in by 4:30am.....if it's when you have the time you just have to suck it up and use it.
Same. I go to night school and work full time.
Plus the gym is usually pretty empty at 5 AM - that is enough motivation to get myself up. I like being able to bench for an hour without anyone mean muggin me for the spot.

There is a difference between being "the most wonderful, caring person" and lashing out with nasty comments. Big, giant middle ground there. Vast! Those aren't the only two options, lol.I don't knock anyone for wanting to get in shape and don't care when it happens. I answered the OPs questions, from my perspective with no editorializing on my feelings. I'm happy for anyone who wants to workout, whether they are new or not. My "problem" is with the "gym". There is such a thing as "too crowded". Any frustration I have experienced is when I'm not able to go through a normal workout. The cardio machines are full so you have to wait and sometimes for a LONG time (30-60 minutes). I have waited for machines longer than my planned cardio session. As for free weights and strength machines, there are long lines as well. In addition, some noobs aren't up on gym etiquette (some experienced ones aren't either, lol) and will not allow anyone to jump in and use a machine. Add to that the number of people dropping weights, misusing machines, leaving them sweaty/soiled... it's annoying. Sure, sometimes that happens at other times of the year (not just New Years) but not as much. I'm lucky enough to have a pretty nice home gym and I go between home and club for variety.
So, my posts were not meant deflate or ridicule anyone. Just like any other post/comments, it's my opinion of what occurs annually.
Good luck to the newbies and resolutioners. At least a small percent of them will become lifers and change their lives. Just like I'm trying to do...
Nobody should be made to feel any guilt for feeling any of those incredibly valid things
The guilt-tripping cheerleaders on this thread got, IMHO, completely the wrong end of the stick...but if it makes them feel better to project their 'aren't I the most wonderful, caring person and aren't you awful in comparison' attitude into the great, wide interweb then fine <shrugs> it takes all sorts.
I don't think offering up some support for the newbies makes one "the most wonderful, caring person."
Your nasty, personal attacks will not stop others from making positive comments if they feel like making them.
LOL ...see? All sorts!0 -
WAY TO WISH THE BEST FOR PEOPLE!
LOL. I think this phenomenon is set in stone at this point. I wish fitness for everyone, including myself. But I've seen gym sales people overselling memberships to people who don't even know if they enjoy it or who might feel overwhelmed by the crowds, etc. I remember I read something that said that gym regulars make up a really small percentage of the revenue that gyms make; maybe like 10% or less? Most of their money comes from those people who won't continue going. I think gyms' business models rely on this as well.
It is pretty gloomy, though!
well it's a good thing that gym sales teams have jack all to do with our fitness goals and sustaining progress!!
You know what does have an effect though?
The sheer number of people that get really excited to go on the internet and write up an editorial about how upset they are that such a huge surge of people are all trying to get healthy.
Then all those people trying to stick to it and succeed and get braver, log on to the site they just joined and see all the intermediate players raining down curses on the newbies for being on the elliptical.
Who cares how many sea turtles make it? All they do is cover the beach with their stupid lil footprints and ruin your day.
Some are dads pushing their late 40s, early 50s who want to be there for their families for a long time.
Some are mom's whose kids just finally moved the hell out and now she can finally work on herself.
Some are doing it for their health.
Some to lose weight.
Some to get hot.
Some to get ready for a wedding or to start a family.
Some just had a baby or honeymoon.
Some are in training or coming back after an injury.
There's no need to worry. Those of us that aren't noobs are good enough at adapting and understand our programs well enough to know that A) we probably won't be on a cardio machine for an hour and a half anyway, so they can have it and
we already fight for the squat rack anyway - nothing new except a surge of motivated, excited people, filling our gymnasiums.
May the high fives echo.
And.....
here we go.
+1- My thing is all of these people have great reasons to start... why wait until the New Year?
how do you know they are?
maybe that's just when they are starting at the gym because that's when they can afford to join without a membership sign up fee?
Maybe they've been doing cardio all along and they switch to the weight room in winter?
are those answers okay for you?
would you be happier if everyone had the same exact personality and mottos as you?
Of course Im trying to be supportive so that makes me a laughing stock.
+1 as well. I'll get out of your faces.
How do I know they put it off until New Years? hm.... having 100 new faces at the gym is a dead give away.
because not having a gym membership means you don't exercise?
what about all the runners, triathletes and obstacle course races who exercise outside all year and then come to the gym in the winter?
are they newbies?
just because you haven't witnessed their struggles?
People who get pissed about people making a positive change make me sick.
This is going to be my last response to you- because you seem to be missing my point and my lunch break is over. I welcome fitness and I will gladly help a new person in the gym. BUT what I don't understand is why people need the new year to make these changes. I understand the gym memberships for christmas and the lower sign up fee.. but people shouldn't need the change of a year to start. Stats prove that like 1 in 15 or 1 in 20 stick with it anyway.
It's probably because they encounter rude people like you who make them feel like crap the moment they walk into the gym. Just saying.
I completely agree with yoovie. It'd be nice to see a little more support for these people - especially since we've ALL been there once. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US, faced with a number on the scale we just didn't like, have been there at square one. And yeah, some people need the clock to strike midnight on January 1st to make that commitment, but why is that suddenly our business?
Maybe some people DO consider New Year's Day to be a fresh slate on their life and a great place to start their own journey. Maybe they're in it for the crazy deals that gyms offer. Maybe they were waiting to start until the holidays officially came to a close. Maybe they had their annual doctor's visit on December 29th & their doctor pressed them to shed weight or face serious health issues. Maybe it's something else... But maybe that doesn't matter because it's not our business in the first place.
Please Troutsy, RGv2 & any other critics on this thread, enlighten me on how YOU'VE made & kept every single one of YOUR New Year's Resolutions in your life. You fitness elitists make me absolutely sick.-3 -

I have kids, so if I want to have any time with them it's work out late at night or early in the morning. I'd rather do the latter and be done with it....that allows me to coach during the week as well.-1 -

Thank you for rehashing things that don't need to be rehashed. I said my peace and have dropped the topic. This has already been debated to death. Never considered myself an elitest though.. So I guess I got that going for me.0 -
Add me to the 5am crowd!! I did notice an increase over this past year of people coming from 5-6am...but it was mid year... New years never seems to really be a problem for the 5am crowd...and that's cool with me...
Although, I personally love to see new people at my gym...I wish more people would start and keep their commit to working out...

I've seen about a decade's worth now. The gym fills up for 3 weeks to 3 months...then it empties out.
I guess commenting on the duration of said, and from what I have seen statistically backed, occurrence makes me an elitist....and I guess some sort of critic but I absolutely have no idea what I've criticized.
Ok.-1 -
pfft.... wish i was an elitest... Im really jealous now.-1

1 in 15.
Wow, so for people in the cheap seats, the stat from our very own ninerbuff is that 6.7% of the resolutioners stay the course.
That's significant, even at +-10%.
I'm hoping for an extreme winter, so it will drop normal gym attendance very low, and I can bench in the power cage all the time.0 -

I always believe, why put off until tomorrow what you can do today?
Halloween. Then Thanksgiving. Then the Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hanukah/Noel/Holiday Season. All the while it (depending upon where you live) gets cold, so people get less active. Then people look in the mirror and realize they've put on some pounds. So they start at the beginning of the next month, which happens to coincide with the New Year.0 -
I go to the gym at 5 in the morning, so there are realistically very few new joiners who are there at that time. I don't do it to avoid them, I do it because I'm not a morning person so avoiding all people at that time is ideal for me AND I want free-er range of the equipment without feeling like I'm interfering with others work outs.
I applaud those people who join a gym AND stick to it. Honestly, I joined in like March or April the firs time, didn't stick to it and then in October 2012 I joined and have been there ever since. I think a lot of people make new years goals/resolutions and they go head strong without a lot of real knowledge as to what it takes. You don't need a new year, or even a new month to make the change and when you realize that and really want it for yourself, then change will happen.
Bottom line - to answer the OP's question in the morning there's usually only 10 or 20 new people at that time of day, and it's usually only until end of January at the latest. It's not for everyone to get up at 4:30 in the morning in all honesty. It doesn't bother me too much. The odd time I do go after work instead, I notice it is busier until mid-February and then dies off very quickly. If you go in mid-July there's almost no one there at any time of the day.0 -
