Every new year brings a new calendar, and a fresh blank slate to better your health and fitness routine. Depending on who you are, that can either feel invigorating or intimidating. Luckily, Manayunk is full of friendly fitness options for both the guru and the beginner. So whether you have a regular workout routine or are brand new to the world of fitness, the local gym heroes in Manayunk will help you get a little closer to your new year's goal.

Our neighborhood is a hotbed of great fitness studios, and each of them have something to offer for those looking to make a change, get in better shape, or just try something new and exciting. Many of our local fitness studios have something special to offer as the new year rolls in, including class package deals, new classes, and more. They’re the perfect amount of “fitspiration” for this year’s resolution!

New Year’s promotions are running now until January 2 at Never Give Up Training. Class packs can be purchased from 10% - 15% off. Personal training sessions are also available and are running at a discount of 15% off for 10 sessions! It's a great way to ease into a six-month membership with 15% off your first two months.

RowZone Manayunk is offering a membership that will really kick off your new year fitness program. The six-week "Get-in-Shape" package is being offered at a 25% off discount for purchase until January 15. This package can be used in an unlimited option, or a once or twice a week option. It can also be combined with a current class package, so stepping up your fitness game is even more convenient.

Want more options for getting active? The Wall Cycling Studio has over 50 classes offered each week. They realize that everyone has a busy schedule, so The Wall is open and accessible to you as early as 5:10 a.m.! Classes range from spin, barre, and yoga, to the extremely popular fusion classes that incorporate more than one workout, such as spin/barre and spin/high intensity yoga sculpt.

At SWEAT Fitness, all personal trainer packages are 20% for the holiday season and the start of the new year. Plus, SWEAT gives you some leeway if you're feeling apprehensive: there is also a 7-day free trial period available if you'd like to dip your toe in the water before diving into your next workout regimen.

But if the treadmill and elliptical aren't your style, try Hotbox Yoga. They offer a $40 for 40 days deal for new students, which gives you a great opportunity to get familiar with their classes and explore what they have to offer, like their Power Yoga for all skill levels.

When it comes to sticking to your new year’s resolution, remember that you're not alone. There are classes and trainers to help you, right in your own backyard! Here's hoping that Manayunk's variety of options will get you on the right foot for a confident, healthy new you in 2017.
