A January Joiner is someone who joins the gym in January as part of a New Year’s resolution and by February is back to being a couch potato.
The gym has been surprisingly empty the last few days and that makes me sad. Going to the gym is not an easy thing. There are plenty of days I don’t want to go and end up staying in my warm bed. I applaud everyone that makes the conscious decision to get up and begins the process of going to the gym. IT IS NOT EASY.
I’m sick of people complaining about the January Joiners. We should be cheering them on and encouraging them to continue to go to the gym year round. I understand that it can make it more difficult to get time on your preferred machines, but it makes me happy to see people trying to change their lives.

you make a very valid point. They really do need encouragement to stick around past February

We all need encouragement!
I agree! At least they are making an effort. Plenty of people won’t even SAY they want to improve their health, let alone make an attempt to do so.
I haven’t been to the gym yet this year (been just running outside), but I’m planning to go to a Pilates class tomorrow that was very popular before the new year; curious how crowded it will be tomorrow.

Yes, they are making an effort and I want to support them!
The outdoor track has also been pretty empty even though we have had some sunny days. I guess the outdoor exercisers are “April Joiners!” 🙂
