Best Workouts for a Crowded Gym By Joy Manning
Learn fun workouts you can do when your fitness center is packed
You know the drill this time of year: If you want a bike in Spinning class you practically need to sleep out on the sidewalk like an Apple obsessive on the eve of a new iPhone launch. For committed fitness aficionados, the month of January means navigating throngs of recently resolved newbies at the gym. But for those embarking on a new workout regimen, the crowds can be more than annoying: For some, it’s enough to derail their whole plan to get in shape. Whatever your situation, you are likely to confront a lot of new faces at the gym, hogging the treadmills and crowding the classes. Here are some tips from the experts to help you get your sweat on regardless of the masses.

Peak hours for fitness centers are between 4 and 8 p.m. You’ll also be more likely to stick to your routine for the long haul if you do it first thing, says Bergen.
