It’s no secret that gyms and leisure centres see a spike in membership at this time of year. Following the indulgences of December, many of us see January as a time to get back on the path to fitness. In some cases, this might mean trying something new, and taking on an exercise programme we haven’t attempted before.

When doing so, we’ll undoubtedly come across terms and phrases we weren’t previously familiar with.

The fitness industry, perhaps more than most others, can present a sometimes overwhelming abundance of terminology; so with this in mind, we thought it might be useful to put together a definitive (or as close to definitive as possible) list, compiling the various terms a new (and perhaps even seasoned) gym-goer may encounter.
