Beware the ides of january!

Degsy

I just had a sickening thought.When the festive season is over as it soon will be,gyms up and down the country are going to be turned into a form of living hell as hordes of football-shirted imbeciles descend en masse to lose thier christmas flab.This invasion of the bodybuildres will have petered out completely by march but in the meantime i'm dreading it!:D

The january rush has it's benefits. Mainly the higher female population in the gym. At least 1% of which will be hot.

BendiBus

And they're effectively subsidising those who'll use the gym all year. I wonder what percentage of annual revenues gyms make in January?

Although a gaa player myself, I wouldn't imagine it's all that comfortable wearing a jersey while lifting..so I'll agree with you there!

I reckon the term "new years resolution" was coined by a gym owner.

Do they charge by the no of reps, or sets?

Was in teh gym today. My god, full of kids. How many mothers got their kids gloves, belts and gym memberships for christmas. I had to stop 4 guys, the heaviest who was about 11st from dead lifting today. Yes I said dead lifting. He had 80kg on the bloody bar!!! I was watching him just waiting for his back to snap in two so I had to say it to him.

Can't beat the new year 3 week gang!

At first I thought the best thing about a free college gym was it was free, but there are even better benefits, as you mentioned...
