Arrr matey! In January, the gym be closing its doors to fresh scallywags, protectin' the crew from a tide o' eager landlubbers hopin' to sweat away their holiday feasts! Fox News Digital had a chinwag with the captain of that fine establishment, savvy?
Ahoy, mateys! As the sands of time turned to a new year, many scallywags be resolvin’ to get fit and healthy, aye! But lo and behold, Clayton Leah, the captain of Ascendancy Fitness, be turnin’ away fresh crew in January. He’s hoistin’ the “No New Members” flag, sayin’ it be a fine way to protect his loyal shipmates from the swarm o’ resolution-driven landlubbers.“We stopped sign-ups on New Year's Eve!” he declared, as if he were spottin’ a kraken in the water. This be a time when gyms be burstin’ at the seams, yet Leah be prioritizin’ his loyal crew over the fleeting ambitions of January joiners. “Many a new matey drops anchor for just a week or two before vanishin’ like a ghost ship,” he added with a chuckle.
Leah’s goal be keepin’ the experience smooth sailin’ for his 650 current members, and it seems the scuttlebutt be positive. “The only grumblin’ we hear is from those who be wishin’ to board our ship but find the gangplank pulled up!” he quipped. He aims to break the mold, keepin’ his crew happy while teachin’ that true fitness be a journey, not just a January whim.
So remember, mateys, if ye be thinkin’ of joinin’ a gym, it’s best to set sail when the seas be less crowded! Arrr!
