Open Letter To All Gym Goers In New York State

Today is the 1st day of 2025 and that means plenty of people will be heading to the gym as part of their New Year's resolutions.

That means gyms will be packed to the gills with people so whether you are a newbie at the gym or a gym "rat" there are some things that you need to know before your workout.

HAVE PATIENCE

This is going to be a big one. With so many new people trying the gym maybe for the first time ever, machines, treadmills, and other equipment might not be as readily available as before. So make sure you have patience and a plan when you head out to the gym.

BRING A FRIEND

One of the best ways to make sure you stick to a workout is to bring a friend. They can be a workout buddy or people that you meet in a class, but having someone else to answer to is a great way to keep you on track. Plus it helps with motivation.

AVOID TALKING TO PEOPLE WITH HEADPHONES

Most people who head to the gym want to work out in peace and quiet. If you are new to the gym, you are going to want to avoid interrupting people during their workout. If people are heading headphones that usually means they don't want to talk.

Of course, if you have a question or want some help, there will be plenty of people to help you out. Most of those people will not have headphones on, so go ahead ask talk to them.

HAVE FUN

The best way to work out is to have some fun with it. Make a plan before you go and mix it up to keep your interest peaked. You can also check out plenty of people who post workouts on social media for advice. Of course,e if you have any questions make sure to talk with someone who works at the gym.

Enjoy your workouts in 2025.
