'Workout Anytime' offers inspiration for New Year's resolutions - WAFF-TV: News, Weather and Sports for Huntsville, AL

People with fresh resolutions are wasting no time hitting the treadmills. But what's keeping them going?

Its 10:30 a.m. on New Year's Day and gym goers are ready to break a sweat.

"I was motivated, I got up, and I said ‘Here I am,'" one woman said.  

This will be one of the busiest weeks of the year for fitness centers.

"Most definitely we're going to be picking up every day from here on out through about February, March," Tim Webster, the general manager of Workout Anytime, said.

And according to Webster, for a lot of people, just showing up at his place is a great first step.

"You made the toughest step coming in through that front door. The rest of it is easy now," he said.

And keeping that determination throughout the year is only a matter of focusing on what you want changed.

"Once you find out what those goals are, it's easier to hone in on them. And okay, I know where I want to start you off. ‘I want to lose the mid-section,' we need to start you on our cardio," Webster said.

Lachandra Sales lost 23 inches in her waistline and she's not stopping there.

"When I started seeing the results, it made me want to come in even more," she said.

Others are just as motivated. Dorothy Fletcher's goal is to work out at least three times a week.

"This morning when I woke up, I said ‘This is the day I'm going to the gym.'"

Her resolution is beyond shedding a few pounds. She's focusing on her well-being.

"It's not so much in losing weight. It's just to be healthier this year than I was last year," Fletcher said.

Workout Anytime offers a free week of membership for first-comers.
