It's a new year, and I've been out of the gym since March due to COVID. This is unlike me as I believe my energy resources directly correlate with my health initiatives. I have been going to the gym for 35 years never missing a beat on Saturdays or other school-related days off. This has been the first time I've put my membership on hold.
But with the breeze of initiative that invades us during the New Year, I've found several uncomfortable incidents beginning that I haven't experienced in a long time. First, pain sprang up in all my joints these last two months. It seems that the gentle stretching and lighter weight workouts prohibited this. I felt bloated. Yes, bloated all over my body, in fact. It felt as if my body built its own damn and was holding in the waters. Sleeping became a problem as my overactive central nervous system found new circuits to entertain. And then the all out pounds gain was the culmination of the process. I was done. It was time to incorporate my health back again regardless of the pandemic scare.

The Judgement Free Zone® commissioned a national study*, which identified that more than four in five (84 percent) of those surveyed plan to make at least one resolution in 2021, with fitness and overall health and wellness being key priorities. Additional survey insights include:
- Fitness is Essential. Nine in 10 (91 percent) Americans with a resolution in mind are setting one specific to fitness in the New Year. Among those doing so say it’s because they want to be healthier (72 percent), feel better about themselves (61 percent), reduce stress (54 percent), look better (53 percent) or make positive changes in their lives (53 percent).
- Balanced Approach to Exercise. More than half (54 percent) of those with a health and wellness resolution would like to stick with a fitness routine, even if it’s just exercising a few minutes a day to help improve their health and wellness.
- Addressing the Mental and Physical. One in two (50 percent) of those with a health and wellness resolution are making one specifically about balancing their physical and mental health needs.
- Putting the Past Behind Us. As the proud partner of “Good Riddance Day” in New York City’s Times Square this year, organized by The Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment, Planet Fitness also asked what people wanted to say “good riddance” to in 2020. The majority (88 percent) of Americans have at least one thing on their list. Among them, nearly two in three (65 percent) want to say goodbye to political or election-related conversations, 62 percent are eager to forget about the toilet paper crisis of 2020 and 41 percent of parents want to say “good riddance” to remote schooling.
- Maintaining Optimism. There was some good that came out of 2020, and 89 percent of Americans have at least one thing from this year that they want to hang onto heading into 2021. Among them, nearly two in three (63 percent) want to continue to cherish the little things and not take life for granted. And among those planning to make a resolution, more than two in five (44 percent) are making one because they need something that will bring them happiness.
- Keeping it in Perspective. More than half (51 percent) of those planning to make a resolution are determined to not be so hard on themselves in 2021, giving them leeway and permission to get through these tough times without judgment.
