as a regular gym attendee I can't stand what happens in January and will actually not go for at least the first 2 weeks. However, you are not wrong about what has happened by Feb as the masses realize that they have to pay again in the next month.
You've got some good advice in here.
yeah, when i see those masses of people at the gym I sincerely hope that the people stick with it for the sake of their own health, but they rarely do so. It's a bit tragic really. This is why i tell people to forget new years and to maybe simply go for a new month's resolution around mid Feb :)
i think that is pretty sound advice. Or at least the people that give up after the first crowded month of the year should have another go at it later in the year.
