Hi and welcome back to Get Fit Guy.

I'm your host, Kevin Don, and this week I am not going to be jumping on the bandwagon of all the new year stuff.

Although I will say, happy new year to all my listeners.

Thank you for listening to the show all 2023. I hope that we can

keep this true for 2024. So why wouldn't I give everyone success strategies for New Year,

new year, new you? Well, because it's totally arbitrary. January the first as New Year didn't even have

any meaning until 1582 when Pope Gregory the 13th revised the calendar and that date was then gradually adopted across Europe and then beyond.

The point being that you can make a positive change any time you want. In fact, from moment to moment we make decisions that impact our health and well-being.

Go for lunch. Do you have a burger or the chicken salad? You go to the store. Do you park your car

close or do you park it further away and get in some steps? You go to the mall. Do you take

the stairs or the escalator? You don't need to wait for some arbitrary date to make a better

choice about anything. So I am not on Team New Year. I'm on Team proactive. That being, you can

make a change any time you want. So instead of that nonsense, I want to share an experience

that I had this past month in a training setting that

might give you some takeaways that could inform choices you make in the new year or any time.

So, on to the story. This month, a new gym opened very close to my apartment, so close that it would be very convenient for me to go train there.

It's about 250 metres away.

So I dropped by to go check it out.

And this is where my red flags started.

So I wasn't able to look at the gym apartment.

Instead, I was told that I'd have to go back home, go to their website and book a free, no obligation, discovery call. I figured that, okay,

although I hate stuff like this, it could at the very least make a good episode of Get Fit Guy.
