At the beginning of the year, gyms see an influx of customers. Many people set New Year’s resolutions to trim or tone their bodies. However, most members sign off gym membership within a few months.
The biggest barrier facing professionals is their busy schedules. Gym membership is the first thing they forgo to create more time for their other activities. Time constraints worsen the situation for those with children or who have demanding careers.

The recovery period ensures that the body recuperates its strength and performs its next exercise to its best.
