As a gym rat, i would like to thank everyone who buys a subscription but doesn't show up for subsidising my lifestyle

[apyrthegreat]

Peak journalism. This is what news should ACTUALLY be about

[ujustgotpwned]

The reason you weren't at the gym on December 31st will be the same reason you're not there on January 31st.

[No-jrmp]

That “hopefully” tells me she doesn’t go anymore

[doctorphilmcgra]

I'm gonna give this gym thing a try tomorrow. Surely I can undo years of bad habits in just 1-2 weeks of looking at my phone while walking on a slight incline for 20 minutes at the gym right?

If you want to get fit, why wait until the next year to do it? It shows a total lack of resolve and self-discipline.

Tasha has become a 6x IFBB Pro champion since this aired.

[mikelyoloson]

if you rely on a date to start working out you probabbly wont be there for long

[dubbyu]

New years resolutions should be everyday. Not just on January 1st. If you weren't consistent the day before, you won't be consistent after January 1st. So why bother showing up?

[crazydave]

Gyms should be putting up informational signs around new years (such as about the importance of diet, rep ranges for strength/hypertrophy, training to failure, etc.) I think the reason a lot of people quit the gym is they do it wrong, dont see results, and give up, but I think with the right information a lot more people will end up getting results and sticking to it

[NckSmith]

I support anyone who says “this is my year” and puts in the work and stays consistent. But the month of January is truly an annoying time for avid gym goers

[tyvekhomewrap]

"Yes...well yes, I was...yeah."

A true statement of all time.

[rubygod]

I feel bad for all the people who have been already going to the gym. It is definitely a nice experience to help others out though!

[slowpoke]

The fact that people wait until New Year’s to get fit already tells me they’re doomed to fail. That tells me that it’s a special occasion for them to get fit. I go to the gym as often as I can and only take two days off to rest or for a special holiday like Christmas or Thanksgiving.

Master Roshi once said: “You seem to forget that training is supposed to be a daily activity! Not something you do on special occasions!”.

[davidfitzgerald]

When I was in college, the crowd at the start of the fall semester in the school gym was even bigger than any January crowd I've seen.

[anttitoinetili]

love the fact that this video peaks every year in january 🤣

[Wickelsabio]

0:43 that DB bench press made my shoulders scream in pain

[rubatsch]

The new year resolutioner's simply overdo it. They go 5-7 times a week and then get really annoyed for obvious reasons and decide to stop. Start by going 1-3 times a week and focus on cleaning up your nutrition. Those progressions will come naturally as you make sure to stay consistent. All of a sudden you'll find yourself reading strength training/ fitness blogs late at night after a nice round of hill sprints as you carefully plan your next 5 a.m. workout. Be patient, don't stress yourself too much, but be consistent.

[dylancullen]

I would personally like to thank all the new year's resolutioners who stop showing up after a week because that's how my gym affords new machines 🙏

Mom: "Why didn't you do the dishes?"
Me: "Well, yes, I was, yes."
