As people around the country look to begin New Year's resolutions, gyms and fitness centers are gearing up for an increase in participants."We're here to help you," said Sarah Gunter, a certified personal trainer at Sportsclub Wellness and Fitness in Simpsonville. She and others here have seen an increase of people during the first few months of each year, including another Sportsclub personal trainer, Jason Brown. "I was a personal trainer throughout my 20s, as well, and we were looking forward to January, February, March because there would be an influx of people coming in but we would see a majority of those people tend to kind of fade prior to summer arriving," said Brown. He said to avoid that fade, set very small goals for yourself and what he called tangible wins. "Everyone is motivated until they get into a painful situation or into a cold situation or a very hard, difficult situation. So I would say look at the big picture," he said. "Know your 'why' and let that be what allows you to commit to your journey."Gunter said it's important to start small. "We want to start with little increments one-by-one and what I always say is take it day-by-day," she said. "If you can make it one day, then you can make it through the next day and then the next day."A study in the Journal of Clinical Psychology suggests just 46% of people with New Year's resolutions accomplish them. If you do fade, it doesn't mean you have to stop altogether, said Lindsay Drakulic, club manager at Sportsclub Fitness and Wellness. "If you fall off the wagon you can come back in 6 months, 8 months, whatever," she said. "A lot of people think that if you fall off the routine, then they just have to quit and it's just, be kind to yourself. Start slow and stick around no matter what."
