Here are 7 reasons why December is a great month to restart your fitness journey. Rather than waiting for the New Year energy to kick in
- Gyms tend to be quieter as December is typically a busy month of social catchups as well as extra chores to do ahead of Christmas and holidays. Not to mention the odd cold
- It’s easier to get a space in a class, and the class size may be smaller than usual.
- You can therefore try out classes with a wee bit more confidence
- Gym inductions are often included in your membership. It will be easier to book into one in December. The instructor will create a programme to follow and show you how to use the equipment.
- The Gym floor will be quieter too, so you can familiarise yourself with all the kit you want to use.
- Personal Trainers may have offers as it’s a quieter time of the year. If you are thinking of investing in Personal Training, it’s a great time to get some dates in the diary for January
- If your gym also has a sauna or steam room, it’s great to get some heat into your bones when it’s cold outside.
Bonus: most of December is a fire energy month. We have the archer energy of Sagittarius to help set a fitness direction and your goals in.
December is a great month to restart your fitness journey rather than waiting for the January rush. Have you started in December before or do you always wait until the new year?
