 100,000 Brits to join a gym in January

100,000 Brits to join a gym in January

In the midst of the New Year resolution "frenzy" the month of January is perceived to be the most popular month for new gym memberships, according to LA Fitness.

A spokesperson for the gym chain said that almost 20,000 new members are expected to sign up in January - 7.5 per cent of their total membership.

However, in actual fact statistics show that September is the most popular time of year for subscribing to a new fitness regime.

He said: "Many people start very enthusiastically and visit four to five times a week, but then give up after a few weeks. Members may gain better long term results and create a healthy lifestyle habit by visiting twice per week and taking time to recover between workouts."

According to Weight Watchers, exercise is one of the best predictors of weight-loss maintenance; however, despite the many health benefits of physical activity, most people do not get enough exercise.

Experts recommend that a comprehensive exercise plan should include aerobic, flexibility and resistance components.
