January is the busiest month for gyms, with countless people rushing to sign up as part of their New Year’s resolutions. Wanting to get fitter and healthier following an indulgent break. However, many of these memberships go unused after the initial enthusiasm wears off. Shockingly, nearly 11% of all health club members join their gyms in January, but 80% of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned by February (Health and Fitness association)
At Fitagain Gym in Colyton, we’re here to change that narrative. Instead of pushing generic annual contracts, we focus on helping our members achieve sustainable fitness goals in a luxury, safe environment with trusted personal trainers. Whether you’re in Axminster, Lyme Regis, Seaton, or Sidmouth, here’s why choosing Fitagain Gym this January will make all the difference.
The Pitfalls of Joining Big Gyms in January
1. Overcrowded Facilities
In January, many commercial gyms are filled to capacity with new sign-ups, making it difficult to find available equipment or space in group classes. Residents in areas like Axminster, Lyme Regis and Sidmouth often experience long waits for machines and overcrowded locker rooms in larger chain gyms.
2. High Dropout Rates
Most people who join a gym in January quit within the first few months. A 2022 study found that 63% of new gym members stop attending within three months (IHRSA Report). Additionally, Sport England’s Active Lives survey revealed that 25.7% of adults in England are physically inactive (Sport England).
3. Impersonal and Generic Programs
Big-box gyms rely on one-size-fits-all workout plans that fail to address individual goals. This can leave members from areas like Lyme Regis or Seaton feeling disconnected and unsupported.

Gym Member Success Stories
Rebecca Russell:
“Alanah gives me confidence and insight and the feeling that every tiny step I take is helping me, and at 61, that’s nothing short of amazing.”
Anonymous Client:

Darren Walker:
“I am almost reluctant to write this review because I want to keep Fitagain the best-kept secret. However, Andrew deserves congratulations, and everyone needs to know that there is an alternative to getting and staying fit, no matter your fitness level.”
Fitness Tips for Beginners
If you’re starting your fitness journey this January, here are some tips to help you succeed:
- Set Realistic Goals
Focus on small, achievable milestones. For example, aim to work out twice a week initially and gradually increase. - Find a Support System
Joining a gym like Fitagain with small group sessions ensures you’ll have support and motivation from both trainers and fellow members. - Track Your Progress
Keeping a journal or use Fitagain’s own app to log workouts and progress can keep you motivated. - Don’t Overdo It
Pacing yourself is key. Overtraining can lead to burnout or injury, which often causes people to quit.
Health Statistics That Matter
- One in four adults in England is physically inactive, doing less than 30 minutes of physical activity per week (Sport England).
- Regular physical activity reduces the risk of major illnesses, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes (NHS Physical Activity Guidelines).
People who are insufficiently active have a 20% to 30% increased risk of death compared to people who are sufficiently active (WHO)
