Or build a house? Or get married? Or do anything of significance without at least having a general idea of what you're going to do? Then why do you walk into the gym like a deer in headlights with absolutely zero idea of what you're doing yet have your agent lined up for when Muscle & Fitness calls you to be on their cover? We’ve seen better laid out plans for what Netflix movies people will watch compared to their gym plan. Come February, they've seen minimal change, their Valentines’ date says "nope", and so they decide "the gym is stupid and only for gym rats" and stop going. They expect to have a 180-degree turn by Valentine's day when they start in January. This means they can just go to the gym whenever and completely change their bodies. The point being is that everyone thinks they're unique and the fundamental physiological processes don't apply to them. In fact, you likely aren't even at an appropriate level of fitness where HIIT is even practical, but that's another story. You hear all the exaggerated claims about HIIT "melting fat like butter" so you're just going to HIIT up your gut until it becomes a "literal furnace" and “watch the fat drip off” until you're all chiseled and jacked. It's not (but it kind of is IF you have good information, see below), so as you read through these New Year resolution traps, be honest with yourself and identify if you have fallen victim.Įveryone thinks they're going to go to the gym and fix their years of poor habits in a couple weeks. Flashy ads with insane claims mislead people to believe that embarking on a "fitness journey" is easy. And before we start, keep in mind that again, this isn't necessarily 100% your fault because this is how the fitness industry is designed. There's a good chance that you have failed due to one of the reasons below…or a combination maybe all of them.

Worse, if you were to break down the percentage of gym-goers who consistently go to the gym (at least 2x a week) for an extended period of time, you are left with a minuscule number. However, gyms still manage to retain 25-30% of their members likely because they just forgot to turn off autopay but still. 82% go to the gym less than once a week, and 22% of members completely stop going after 6 months. In fact, if every member of your gym came to train regularly, it would be a madhouse and the fire marshal would be called to clear everyone out.ĭo you know how busy the gym is during the first few weeks of January? That's not even everyone, as studies show that 64% of memberships go entirely unused. To begin with, you need to understand that big box gyms literally have business plans that assume the vast majority of you will never show up after buying a membership.

This is why we wanted to produce this piece to help you succeed next year. We at SET FOR SET aren't about that and we have no interest in you failing.

Well, we still have Omnicron so what have you done to make sure it'll really be different this time? Because honestly, it probably won't be if all you have is a resolution and no plan. You probably told yourself that last year too but things just didn’t work out with Covid and everything. ![]() Woaaaah, Nellie!
