‘New Year, New You’ Already in Jeopardy, As Brits Quit The Gym!

01/26/2012 // London // GTucker // British Military Fitness

More than two thirds of us started the New Year with the greatest of intentions and joined a gym; a New Year, a New You. Whilst it seemed like a great idea to start with, despite our best intentions new research has shown that by the end of January, over a third of us will have quietly called up and cancelled our sparkly new gym membership before we’ve even worked up a sweat. Stats show that it’s men letting the side down with 59% quitting their fitness regime in January versus 15% of women.

Research from British Military Fitness, the UK’s biggest provider of outdoor fitness classes has shown that many of us fall at the first hurdle when it comes to exercise. And it’s not surprising – an astounding three quarters of us feel we need motivating in order to exercise and that we don’t have enough ‘get up and go’ on our own. Shockingly a massive four in five of Brits who do make it as far as the treadmill will first consider giving up after a measly 20 minutes of exercise.

With fans including TV presenter Amanda Byram (Total Wipeout, Big Breakfast), British Military Fitness are considered by many to be the perfect remedy to those that feel alone and lack motivation when exercising. Amanda says; “I’m one of the thousands of people around the UK that finds it hard to keep motivated when it comes to exercise. Group training means that even when you’re feeling tired there is always a friendly face to keep you going!”

Jim Preece of British Military Fitness notes that the statistics around Brits lacking motivation when signing up to gyms don’t really surprise him. “The nature of a group workout combats the issue of lacking motivation as fellow members are on hand to give encouragement; plus our highly trained instructors ensure that once you are in the park, they’ll do the rest and help you achieve your goals”.
