If you've got a Hello! magazine subscription, you can get some top tips to help you choose the right gym.
The first thing to consider, according to Hello! magazine, is the location of the facility. It's best to pick one that's only ten minutes away from either work or home, the publication suggests.
Ask colleagues and friends which gym they attend and take notes of what they say about them, Hello! magazine suggests.
It is also important to check out the range of activities and classes on offer at the gym you might sign up to before you purchase a membership, the mag says.
The best thing to do before committing is to try and gauge the atmosphere at the gym you're visiting. "If you don't feel comfortable, it will be very difficult to stick" there, according to Hello! magazine.
Recently, research from Gocompare.com revealed that 55 per cent of Brits are planning to try and lose weight this year.
