With January coming to a close, are you struggling to keep your new year’s resolution to get healthy? Or perhaps you’re looking to get in shape for summer vacations. Exercise gyms get more signups in January than any other time of the year. Even though January has come to a close, that doesn’t mean it is too late to get healthy. There are lots of local gym options in DeLand that will fit your lifestyle and your budget.

​One of the most popular work out options is Crossfit. Crossfit is a fitness program designed for everyone to participate regardless of age, injuries and current fitness levels. Modifications are made for each person so that grandparents and Olympians perform different versions of the same general workout. Crossfit is part of a community which brings with it the accountability of health and lifestyle. DeLand has three Crossfit gyms. CrossFit DeLand (https://www.crossfitdeland.com), Crossfit Berzerk (http://www.crossfitberzerk.com/)  and Crossfit NIKA (http://crossfitnika.com). 

If Crossfit seems too intense or perhaps you’re looking for a place to work out as a family, the DeLand Family YMCA may be the right choice. Indoor and outdoor pools, amenities for kids, group classes, certified personal trainers and more. For more information, visit http://www.vfymca.org.

Do long work hours and daily commitments prevent you from getting to the gym? Perhaps a gym with extended hours is the right fit. Planet Fitness (348 E. New York Ave) is open from 5:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Next Level Fitness (1746 S. Woodland Blvd) is accessible to members 24 hours a day.

If you didn’t jump on starting a healthier lifestyle at the beginning of the year, no worries. Make today the start of a healthier you!
