ugh dreading this. May have to start going late or super early in Jan while the resolution people give up by the time February rolls around.

Locker rooms are crazy as is at WHC. Wonder if people mostly show up for the shower/sauna than actually working out.

Thinking about reverse resolution and take the first couple weeks off to avoid the jan rush.

Not looking forward to this at all. If only I could find a decent priced power rack and bench that goes incline decline flat and military then I'd be set at home. Not many people at my gym have proper etiquette (leaving weights everywhere) and I can only imagine it getting worse. On the plus side you can expect a surge of deals on equipment in February from all the people buying stuff to get in shape then just becoming lazy.

Every January, I seriously want to have a home gym :(

At least I can normally go to the gym during the day so not as busy.

I am happy that my gym is not a commercial gym and as such will not be over populated with idiots tomorrow.
Have fun suckers! :poosie:

Damn January Joiners. If people were actually serious about getting in shape they wouldn't wait until new years.

January is the worst month at the gym.
Lockers are all full, weights everywhere, line ups for everything

Well, to be fair, most people are at their fattest right after xmas, because of all the junk food, and the winter weight is starting to settle in. So of course their "resolution" is going to start in January.

I always go in January. December is too busy of a month for me. I'm lazy anyways so it doesn't last long until I stop. Then go again

Christmas week at CF YMCA was ludicrous, which was weird. I shudder going back this week. Luckily I have a terrible cold right now.

Until after Valentines day, I just work out at home for the first 6~ weeks of every new year. No point of even trying a gym

Talisman is fucking terrible right now. Took me over 30 mins to find parking today. There wasn't a single spot open and traffic in the lot with people trying to find spots.

Thank god I have exec membership, I'd kill myself if I was in the shit change room during this.

Same, although I go at lunch or right after work. I think there were 6 people at mine yesterday at lunch.

ugh I went yesterday to WHC and made the mistake of going at peak hours at 5. Was a complete gong show. People hoarding the weight lifting stations just doing random crap and not even putting the weights back.

And the thing is most of the new people don't seem to have any sort of plan or routine. They just come in and do random crap.

Towels were all out, locker rooms were full as well. Still squeezed in my workout and got out. Really gotta start going early mornings.
