OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - New year, new you.

The start of the decade means people with brand new resolutions are out in force at the gym.

Tony Schuster has been in the fitness industry for a long time and has worked as a trainer at Life Time Fitness for a year now.

He says the new year is the perfect time to kick things off at the gym.

"It's always nice to have that reset button," Schuster said.

Gyms like Life Time Fitness see hundreds of newcomers signing up between December and February.

Unfortunately, keeping them there is a whole other story.

"We see a lot of people come in for like two or three months and then drop off to where they were," Schuster explained.

The trainer estimates half of those who sign up, actually keep on with their fitness goals throughout the year.

"They're motivated right now -- but it's never the extended motivation. They see all of these cool things online about easy quick things to do and that's not necessarily the case," he said. "So you see a lot of people have a lot of energy and motivation to start, they don't see those results right away and then they start coming down."

That long term motivation comes more easily for some like Jeff Olson than others.

"It's been two years now," Olson tells 6 News.

It was his baby girl that kick-started his fitness journey.

"I figured I had to be a dad that lived a long time" Olson explained.

With identical twin girls on the way, motivation might be outpaced by his stay-at-home dad duties. But he's not complaining.

"Living the dream every day," Olson said with a chuckle.

For the rest of us, grabbing a gym buddy and focusing on a long term goal is the key to success.

"Meeting with a fitness professional, going with a group of people. Having a good support system to help them get in and keep them accountable," Schuster said.

Aside from fitness goals, quitting smoking, improving your finances and spending more time with loved ones are other popular resolutions for the new year.

NANTICOKE, Pa. New Years Day is the day people like to set goals and resolutions for the year ahead.

For some people, it was all about being more healthy and starting off 2020 at the gym, and there were plenty of people pumping iron at Nanticoke Fitness Center.

I try to work out a lot throughout the year, but you know, a lot of the times, I have lapses where I stop going. This year is kind of like make sure I stick to a steady schedule, Justin Casey said.

Just to live a healthy lifestyle. Live longer. A lot people have families, so the healthier you are, the more time you'll be able to spend with your family and keep up with the little ones, Mark Malshefski said.

Little ones we spoke to also want to be more active in the new year, including 7-year-old Jackson Griffith of Scranton, who wants to play more baseball.

In addition to making fitness more of a priority in 2020, people we spoke to say they also want to spend less time on their devices.

We want to do more family time, and we hope that everyone can kind of just disconnect this year and do more things together, Alyssa Wintermute of Jessup said.

Southside Bowl in Scranton was also busy on New Years Day. People of all ages were looking to start the year off right by spending more time with family.

To help my mom out more at home and walk my dog more and take her outside more, Isla Gargone, 8-years-old, of Wyoming said.

Beyond these individual goals, people have much broader hopes.

My hope for the country is just, you know, there's a big divide right now," Casey said. "So, I really hope we figure that out this year."

Solve the world hunger, world peace, Jason Saunders of Scranton added.

My hope is that 2020 is better than 2019, Frani Malinoski of Scranton said.

Wellnessboth the word and the conceptdominated the lexicon throughout the last decade, and its prominence shows no signs of stopping. Rather, it seems that the 20s will see a continuance of establishing and elevating wellness trends. For example, CBD is primed for a new-era makeover, menstrual care is stepping out of the shadows, fitness is mellowing out, and cocktails have some health-centric competition. From sustainabilitys buzzy build to the new-mom care market, these are the wellness trends slated to surviveand thrivethrough the new year.

CBD, Better Than EverAt this point, CBD is practically ubiquitous. Since the FDA approved the marijuana-derived drug in 2018, Gummies, vape pens, and beauty products of all sorts have saturated the market, making cannabidiol seem like less of a drug and more of a cultural mandate. But it is still a drug, and thus, the slew of recent regulations passed within New York state are unsurprisingand good news for consumers. Expect CBD products that are better crafted, vetted, and ultimately more effective as the new decade dawns.

Booze-Free Beverages Get EuphoricNumbing out is so last year. The new guard of out-and-about beverages aims to enhance your natural inclination toward positivity vibes, offering a welcome, thoughtful alternative to conventional cocktails. First came Kina collection of tasty blends that naturally elevate the endocrine system through a mixture of nootropics, adaptogens, and botanicsan option soon joined by calming drink Recess. In 2020, look for Ghia, dreamed up by a former Glossier employee based on the belief that fun is an inside job, and one that can be healthily prodded to come out and play.

The Rise of Wellness ClubsWhen it comes to bettering oneself, theres power in numbers. And while the 2010s saw the rise of coworking spaces such as WeWork and The Wing, the new decade is slated to take that ethos to the wellness world. Parsley Health, for example, has been around for some years now, but its membership-minded, East-meets-West approach to health issuesand its millennialist atmospheremakes the traditional doctors office seem like a relic. And with the Tia Clinic (a members-only gynecology and wellness practice) and The Well (which describes itself as an ecosystem for wellness) joining ranks, its safe to say this is a trend on the rise.

Mindful Menstrual CareIf the 2010s were the decade of menstrual cups, the 2020s will be the decade of an entire overhaul in traditional menstrual carebeginning with externals. Last autumn, New York became the first state in the nation to require that every menstrual product on the market disclose its ingredients on the packaging. This may seem like an obvious step, but for an industry that has thus far run on pretty boxes and a general air of mystery, its also an essential one. Menstrual stigma has been effective in narrowing our attentionto just clean it up and be done with it, explains Christina Bobel, president of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research and a professor of Womens, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston. This is how we have been socialized, and the stigma works to resist conscious consumption. Considering how much meticulous consideration goes into everything else women put in and on our bodies, the need to know in regard to menstrual products represents the burgeoning of a cultural shift.

From Sustainability to Restorative Fitness, the 7 Wellness Trends That Will Define 2020 - Vogue

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) People across the world made New Years resolutions to get into better shape, or just get healthier.

KMVT talked with Nate Silvester, a personal trainer at Golds Gym, about how to keep that goal and live a healthier, happier life.

Typically about March. Most people will make the resolution December, January, and they'll stick with it until about March or so, and we kind of see that taper off a little bit, Silvester said.

He also said it's all about perspective, when setting those fitness goals.

Breaking down your goals into monthly, weekly and daily goals would help you better track the progress you're making, Silvester said. "You take it day by and you say like you said, 'I'm going to go to the gym today,' and 'Im going to do resistance training for 45 minutes and then cardio for 30 minutes.' And if you can accomplish that goal daily, consistently over the course of weeks and months that will definitely help you reach that yearly goal.

It comes down to healthy eating and moderation.

It's important to preplan your meals and prep those meals in advance. Because when you do that, you know exactly the amount of calories and the amount of nutrients that are in those meals, Silvester said.

Silvester suggests being patient.

You see people, they'll have a weak moment. And they say, Well, I ruined it, you know, I ate this and now I feel guilty, and I ruined my progress, so I'm going to keep bingeing and keep indulging,'" he said. "You're going to have those little moments of failure, little setbacks. It's going to happen, it happens to everybody. So it's important to say OK, I did that, but now I'm going to get back on track, I'm going to stick with my healthy habits, or get back into my healthy habits.'"

According to a 2015 Nielsen survey, the most common New Years Resolution is losing weight/getting in shape.

Since the biggest gym in La Jolla history just opened a couple of weeks ago with more square feet than an average Whole Foods we asked Life Time Fitness, and the nine other cardio and strength-training facilities in town, for their advice on how to shed holiday pounds.

What follows are the answers from those who responded to the Lights e-mails and phone calls over the holidays:

1055 Wall St. (858) 410-7100. Open since Dec. 20, 2019.

Give yourself an adequate amount of time and consistency on behavior changes. A quick-fix approach is probably not the best option. In addition to a fitness program that suits you, I suggest nutritionally dense whole foods minimally processed as well as adequate amounts of water and protein. Michael Najera, Life Time fitness trainer and nutritional coach

About Life Time: Occupying the 46,000 feet formerly used by Brooks Brothers, this behemoth gym contains more than 200 pieces of equipment, organized into separate floor areas for cardio, strength training (four different equipment manufacturers), GTX and Alpha programs (featuring free weights, cardio and strength elements) and five group-fitness studios, which host 81 weekly classes. Life Time also offers personal training, nutrition counseling, micro-nutrient testing, a caf and daycare, and a spa featuring massages, facials and nail services.

7825 Fay Ave. (858) 456-2595. Open since: 1991.

Everyone should find out what affects their body and what does not. Start with eating whole foods and no processed items and work from there. Also, have a plan but sweat every day. Work with our professionals to outline a plan that you enjoy, therefore will stick with. Getting a workout buddy or a personal trainer to help with accountability will go a long way when you are just starting a new workout regimen. Kera and Brett Murphy, La Jolla Sports Club co-owners

About La Jolla Sports Club: The Villages largest locally owned and operated health club offers 75 classes per week, personal training, nutrition, micro-nutrient testing, a full gym, childcare, cryotherapy, massage, nutrition, fascia therapy services, physical therapy, IV therapy and intra-muscular shots.

565 Pearl St., Suite 110. Open since: 1994 (originally as Planet Fitness).

Losing 20 pounds is easy. All you have to do is physically burn 70,000 calories more than you consume! How is that easy? Because we arent going to beat the fat off your body with life-draining exercise sessions that leave you burned out, broken and back on the weight-gain train in a month or two. We take a more sane approach and focus on the habits and behaviors that provide for a strong, healthy, balanced life year after year. Jeremy Manning, La Jollas Finest Training owner

About La Jollas Finest Training: This cozy gym offers one-on-one personal training to people needing guidance, motivation and assistance in overcoming obstacles. Massage, assisted stretching, coordination and resistance-training are integrated to increase, and maintain, muscle mass, flexibility, balance and cardiovascular fitness.

5628 La Jolla Blvd. (858) 255-8457. Open since: January 2012.

Combine our cycling classes which burn up to 800 calories in an hour with a sensible nutrition plan and the results will speak for themselves. Ian Harding, Rush Indoor Cycling owner

About Rush Indoor Cycling: Here, youll find indoor and group cycling classes, led by a trained instructor and held in a concert-style atmosphere.

5705 La Jolla Blvd. (858) 459-1900. Open since: January 2015.

To see the quickest transformation, take our class three-to-four times a week. Each class addresses every muscle group. Class choreography is constantly updated to avoid muscle adaptation. Meghan Boyd, Studio Barre Bird Rock owner

About Studio Barre Bird Rock: This boutique fitness studio offers a 60-minute, calorie-torching, music-bumping, personalized barre workout for all fitness levels {no dance background needed}. Isolated movements incorporate cardio and stretching to lift and tone the body.

7877 Herschel Ave. (858) 551-9622. Open since: 1988.

Joining the gym is a great first step. But at the Y, we consider ourselves so much more than just a gym. Like anything, consistency is key to helping lose weight, gain muscle and be your best. A good way to start is simply move more. Its important for kids to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day, but adults need to get at least 30 minutes, too. If you do decide to join a gym in the new year, consider the Y and its KickStart program. A wellness coach can help you attain goals in three one-on-one fitness and nutrition sessions over for your 30 days. Courtney Pendleton, YMCA of San Diego County spokesperson

About Dan McKinney YMCA: This facility offers strength machines, free weights, ellipticals, treadmills, stationary bikes, stair-climbers, two outdoor pools, a spa with sauna and steam room, massage and reiki room, day care, Peloton bikes and studios for more than 100 group exercise classes per week including yoga, cycling, Zumba, Bodypump, barre and Pilates.

About Shepherd YMCA Firehouse: This facility offers strength machines, free weights, ellipticals, treadmills, stationary bikes, stair-climbers, and studios for 30 group exercise classes per week including yoga, Bodypump, Tai Chi and Pilates.

7680 Girard Ave., Suite 200. (858) 551-7800. Open since: 2005.

There are many ways to lose weight, but the most effective approach is a combination of healthy nutrition and consistent exercise. From a nutritional standpoint, eating whole foods and consuming fewer calories than you expend will provide your body with the nourishment it needs to support your energy levels and workout recovery, while allowing for a calorie deficit that promotes weight loss. When exercising, you also should focus on high-calorie burn. To accomplish this goal, consider a mix of cardio and resistance training. Josh Lyon, 24 Hour Fitness director of fitness

About 24 Hour Fitness: This national chain offers a variety of strength, cardio and functional training equipment including free weights and a multi-functional Olympic training rig. Also found here are GX and cycle studios, and Zumba, BodyPump and POP Pilates classes.

BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) Once the clock strikes midnight on Tuesday, it may be hard to get a spot on the treadmill at local gyms like the YMCA of Southern West Virginia because lets face itgetting in shape often makes its way to the top of new year resolution lists.

Director of Health and Wellness, Megan Clackler, sees it first hand every year.

Getting in shape and dieting are always at the top of the list! Clackler said. Which is good for us, we get a lot of new members and an influx of new people and old people coming back trying to get healthy for the new year.

Its the most wonderful time of the year for the Y financially speaking since they notice members cancelling or not coming as often during the holidays.

Its a huge benefit to us, Clackler added. Throughout the fall and winter months we tend to have some drop off in memberships so this is the biggest time of the year we get excited about it every year.

For many its time to shed some holiday bloatfor others its about becoming strong. Regardless of what your intentions in the gym are for 2020, dont rush the process and risk injury or even disappointment.
