We’ve all had that January kick start haven’t we…
The New Year’s resolution to get fit, lose weight and generally take over the world…
We join a gym on the 5th January and strut in ready to crack on with all of our other January comrades…
Dum Dum Dum…
We stand around the equipment wondering what it is we are to do, we watch people taking gym selfies in the oversized wall mirrors, we spend 10/20 minutes on the treadmill when we finally get to the front of the queue… then we leave inflated because despite the naysayers we did it!!! Hurrrrraaahhhh…
Then the end of January comes… the regulars return to normal duty without waiting to use the equipment…
You see, by the end of January, 75% of the resolution makers have left, their direct debits still hitting the bank account of their chosen gym every month but they now don’t even set foot through the door, aside from a weekly sauna visit and the occasional glance to where the training happens thinking… I’ll start again next week…
I believe that the reason the drop off is so high is because the experience of those initial weeks in January is shite… you begin to get frustrated with your lack of progress and how little you are actually able to do when you’re in because you’re hanging around for the bit of kit you want to be on. You lose your mojo, your motivation saps, you just think it’s not for you…
But… if you’re having this thought now… do something NOW… if you know that in January you plan to kick start your journey… beat the rush… Get in now and actually have an enjoyable experience of it all.
Here at RT Fitness we aren’t all about clean eating and restriction, we aren’t about beasting you until you puke… so don’t worry, those social events in the run up to Christmas won’t be T-Total!! You’ll still be able to enjoy yourself, and if you start now chances are you’ll be doing enough and have enough time to actually feel awesome about yourself throughout the party season and won’t feel as guilty about the copious amounts of alcohol consumed.
Perhaps even more importantly, we won’t take money on a Direct Debit month in month out if you aren’t here… You’ll get asked where you are… We get to know you and know when you are tumbling off the wagon and are feeling unmotivated and we do whatever we can to keep you on track to reaching your goals… If you don’t respond and become MIA, we will cancel any payments and will accept the no shows as cancellation of your membership… No more paying for anything you aren’t using…
So… Beat the Rush… Get in touch… Start your journey now and we guarantee you’ll still be with us come the end of January… you’ll still be enjoying it… you’ll still be making progress… Let’s do it!!!
Sarah, Ross and Captain Carnage
