The New Year is a busy time for gyms across the country as more and more people make their New Year’s resolutions.

Obtain Strength in Tulsa says they’ve prepared by making sure they have enough gear for everyone walking through the doors this year.

“We usually have quite a large influx of people coming into the facility, we always make sure the gym is ready to handle the small surge that we have in January,” said Michael Kory, owner of Obtain Strength .

Part of preparing for more people means having enough space for everyone to do their workout.

“Make sure we have enough equipment, lots of cleaning products of course, but just make sure we have more equipment so you don’t go to one of those gyms where you wait 20, 30 minutes like for a squat rack or bench press,” said Kory.

Kory says it’s important to get out of there.

“I think maybe the best thing would be just not to do too much too soon,” Kory said. “So if maybe going to the gym three to four times a week seems a bit daunting, maybe just start with twice a week and build from there, build those good habits.”

Gym manager Caleb Riedinger says the best way to go to the gym is to make it fun.

“When you first show up, you just want to get the heart rate going slowly and nothing too intense because the quickest way to burnout is to throw everything at it and hate the workout,” Riedinger said. “You must enjoy the process.”

Riedinger says when it comes to being active in the new year, consistency is key.

“It’s not about having the craziest, toughest workout out there, it’s about sticking with it consistently,” Riedinger said.
