Its just about that time of year soon where the gym is taken over by resolutioners. Although I am thrilled when new folks join the gym and want to improve their fitness and health, I get a kick out of the newbies that go all out for the first few times and then you never see them again. I know it only lasts a few months but I can't be the only one that cringes every January.

    I just don't go to a gym or fitness facility in January.

    It's summer, so I exercise outside. :)

    Gotta say it again... there is almost nothing you can do to help them stay. People who wait until an arbitrary date don't have much resolve to begin with. You might be able to motivate them to stick around longer, but I wouldn't count on that. Not by a long shot.

    Dear fit people... Shut up! ... I'll just leave this here. :D;)o:)

    That was hilarious.

    I hope those that join the gym actually find their way to a healthier lifestyle. I'm at the gym at 0430 hours. Pretty sure I'll be able to get my workout done just fine.

    That was hilarious. He's got a good point. I love his assessment of his Taco Bell meat :smiley:

    People at my gym this week probably think I was a early resolutioner LOL - just joined this gym a month ago, but got a cold this week so haven't been in (don't like to share if I can avoid it) - but I'll be back tomorrow.

    I tend to stick to morning workouts, like 5/5:30am, even with the "resolutioners" that time is still fairly quiet, doesn't get tooooo crazy.
