I found a loophole. Join a 24/hour gym. I was there at 11PM and it was fantastic.
Comment on Regular gym-goers probably avoid the gym on New Years Day because it's too crowded

Yup.
The first three weeks of the new year are really crummy if you’re a gym regular.

Oh hell yeah.
The night shift at a 24-hour gym is the fucking best if you can swing it with your schedule and energy.

Mornings at the gym are the best, honestly. I get the whole place basically to myself.

There’s 3 peaks for newbies here in the southern hemisphere. New years, end of Feb when the university kids arrive back to start a new year, and September when spring hits and they do the 8 weeks to summer promotions.

Every January, the same thing. I don’t mind going, as I help around with advice. Some of the people decide to stick to it. Some, never had any intention - they come, snap a few selfies in their newly bought gym gear and then I never see them again.

I have a home gym now, but when I was a regular, it was always aggravating.
Part of you wants to root for these people, but so many are rude or don’t treat the space with respect and leave trash everywhere, so you find yourself just counting down the days until 90% of them quit. (And then you root for the ones who get with the program and learn to behave appropriately.)
