While I do find the wait time for machines to be more frustrating I basically go with as good an attitude as I can manage. I'm not trying to knock on them, only saying that I think most folks drop out because they mean well but don't want to push through the unpleasantness of it all to get the habit of healthy to stick. all add up to make it a generally unpleasant experience for someone who only has moderate conviction. The experience of not knowing what they're doing, the intimidation of the crowds, the meatheads at the gym, the gym itself, the pain from the workout, etc. IMO, the "average" resolutionist only kinda wants to get in shape. I do think the crowds have some role to play in the "failure rate" of resolutionist, but there are a large number of additional factors along with it. In most gyms (my old New York City gym being the exception) arriving that late would cause me to miss most of the rush and I could maintain the rhythm to my workouts that I needed. After the first couple of times a new year rolled around, I started planning ahead so that in December, I started pushing my average workout time back from between 6-7 to between 8:30 and 9. While I would never begrudge anyone trying to get in shape, I dislike the NY time because it knocks me out of the rhythm that I'm accustomed to (and I'm a silly creature of habit) because I have to wait for equipment or free-weights. Over the course of the decade or so I've been working out, spanning 5 gyms and 2 states, I can say that yes, in my experience, there is always a New Years glut of people at the gym.
