Nearly half of Canadians make New Year’s resolutions, but sticking to them can be challenging.

Marketing research company Sago estimates about 43 per cent of Canadians make New Year’s resolution. These often include focusing on fitness and finances.

“Last year I didn’t hit the gym as much as I would have been happy to, so this year I’m just going to try and be a bit more consistent,” Davis Ireland said in an interview with CTV News.

“The easy part is the gym, it’s the other 95% of the time, that’s where you have to cut out the fatty food,” Austin Jobb said.

Tyler Moellenbeck, a general manager at GoodLife Fitness in The Centre Mall, says January is a busy time of year.

“People are looking to change their journeys, change their routines, looking for something to help with that healthier and active lifestyle,” Moellenbeck said.
