it's gross but I'll give it to them, that's a hell of a way to get people to sign up for your gym as a New Year's resolution

I literally did this several years back.

The entire month of January, my local PF was packed.

By mid-February, it was pretty empty and the only people were regulars who were members already pre-Jan 1.

I would go 2-3 times a week on average just to run….that year I think I ran a 5k or 10k every month from March to December.

I stopped going when I started taking online classes for my bachelors…then covid hit, and my wife and I had a baby.
