WARSAW — Fall is the time of year when young people head back to school and families get back to their routines – including their health and fitness routines, which may have slipped or changed during the summer. Fitness industry analysts say as many people join gyms in October as in January.

The most common reason why adults don’t exercise more regularly is that they, “just don’t know how to get started,” according to a recent study conducted by Anytime Fitness, the world’s fastest-growing fitness club chain.

That’s why the Anytime Fitness club in Warsaw is offering a special deal for new members. Anyone who joins the club between Sept. 28, and Oct. 16, will receive a free Get Started Plan, valued at $199. This plan includes a free fitness consultation and a 30-day fitness plan.

“We understand how difficult it can be to get started on a new routine – no matter how good you know it will be for you,” said Abby Ramer, Anytime Fitness club manager. “A lot of people also believe that you need to be fit already before joining a fitness club. That’s simply not true. And it’s why we developed our ‘Get Started’ plan, which includes a 30-day personalized workout calendar and guidance from our expert staff to help new members get off to a solid start on their fitness journeys. Every workout plan will be based on the outcome of a comprehensive fitness consultation.”

Hundreds of Anytime Fitness members nationwide have recently begun submitting their personal stories on the company’s website. The stories include reasons for beginning a fitness journey like:  “I realized my new hobby was eating – a lot,” “I didn’t like the person looking back at me in the mirror,” and “My two-year-old nephew could out-run me.”

“Ask just about anyone to list the most important things in their life and nearly everyone will mention health,” said Ramer. “But too many people simply don’t know how to get started. We’re here to help fix that and there’s no better time than the present.”
