EVANS, Ga. (WJBF) – A new year means new resolutions, and one of the most common every year is working out and getting to the gym.
Several cars packed the parking lot at the Gold’s Gym in Evans early New Year’s Day.
For members, they say they want to start the year off on the right foot.
“I’m 40 years old right now, so I definitely want to take care of myself. I want to make sure that I’m healthy, and I’m able to do the things I love,” said Kat Knoke.
Working out is something Knoke says she loves to do throughout the year, but for many that’s easier said than done.
Data shows nearly 50 percent of people with fitness related New Year’s Resolutions give up on them by February.
But for owner Ken Lynch, he says one of their goals this year is to address that.
“Each person every year has good intentions, but our main thing is to get it to stick. So, we’re able to help them get on a program, show them the ropes of the club, and get results—because results motivate and keep you coming,” said Lynch.
