\t\t\t\t\"busy<\/a>Aside from rainy days or cold winter days, it is typically not too difficult for gym-goers to grab a treadmill, EFX, stair stepper, etc. at the Central Park Rec Center. Many Stapleton residents are runners, others practice yoga<\/a> and of course there is a massive crossfit contingent<\/a>, so this keeps our local rec center somewhat quiet, depending on the hours you attend. Except, of course, in January.\n\nJanuary, as everyone knows, is resolution month. And for over half of people that make resolutions, losing weight or getting into shape is their main resolution. \u201cWe always see an increase in memberships and turnout,\u201d says Central Park Rec Center manager Mike Bowers. \u201cJanuary is our craziest month. From early morning to our early 8PM close time, we are pretty packed in here. It\u2019s great to have all of the energy.\u201d\nNot everyone enjoys the busyness of the New Year. \u201cIt\u2019s hard because I consistently exercise but now I have to wait for machines, or change my workout,\u201d says Kara Westerberg. \u201cIt\u2019s one thing if these new folks would keep their routines going, but most of them will quit and be off of it by March.\u201d Joel Shelton agrees. \u201cI am standing around waiting for people walking on the treadmill,\u201d says Shelton. \u201cYou can walk around the gym. I think that people that have been working out for a long time should have some sort of preferred pass so that they get dibs on machines and equipment before these newbies who are just going to end up quitting their workouts.\u201d\nJim McGovern recently rejoined the rec center and says that this year is going to be different. \u201cIn the past I definitely haven\u2019t been great about keeping my workouts going,\u201d says McGovern. \u201cBut I am reenergized, and am ready to get in shape in 2015.\u201d Sandy Hansen is dedicated to 2015 as well. \u201cI have been getting my five workouts in a week and am dedicated to continue them,\u201d says Hansen. \u201cSure, I have quit before, but not this year.\u201d\nBowers says that although there are wait times at the Central Park Rec Center, he expects things to slow down. \u201cThis happens every year. Of course, we would love it to be busy all the time, but the reality is, by mid-February, things are pretty much back to normal. People who want to keep in shape either do it or don\u2019t, and don\u2019t wait till January 1st typically to start.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
