Believe the gym is just for the young and already fit? Think again.

Your biggest obstacle isn’t your age or your fitness level—it’s your mindset. Ready for a perspective shift?

It’s that time of year again—the New Year’s resolution rush! For many, this means stepping into a commercial gym for the first time. Whether you’re a seasoned lifter or a total newbie, it’s the perfect time to brush up on some gym etiquette—those written and unwritten rules that make the gym a welcoming and functional space for everyone.

Confused about where to start with your health and fitness goals?

Wondering how much to eat, what macros are, or why they even matter?

If you’re nodding your head, I’ve been there—and I’ve got you!

It’s that time of year again! Over 100 million Americans set New Year’s resolutions annually, but the stats are sobering:

• 23% quit within the first week.
• 64% abandon them within a month.
• By year’s end, only 9% feel successful in achieving their goals.

2025 is just 30 days away. In a few short weeks, millions of Americans will resolve to get healthier, start exercising, or finally commit to their well-being.

The holiday season is here, and with it comes the temptation to indulge—and overindulge. Did you know the average American gains 1–8 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year’s? Those who are more fit hover closer to 1 pound, while others creep toward the 8–10 pound mark. Even more concerning? Holiday weight gain often accounts for 50% of the total weight gained annually, and most people never lose it.
