'I'm a gym boss and we're banning all new members this January - here's why' A gym owner has said he is refusing to sign new members in January for one key reason.
A surge of physical health commitments tied in with New Year resolutions is one of the reasons Clayton has stopped new members from signing up, but the gym boss says sign-ups increased over the last two months of 2024.
He said: "We thought this year there was a real chance we could get a lot of sign ups in the New Year - because even through November and December we just continuously had grown in memberships.
He added: "People want to lose a bit of weight in the New Year and make a pact to join the gym and then obviously you get an influx of members.
The 31-year-old boss says the decision to bar new members from signing up in January comes from a quality, not quantity, approach for his facility.
