“Yeah, it’s every single year. It’s like clockwork and predictable,” Harden said.
By noon, he already had 10 new members.
Since 2017, Harden has helped hundreds of people develop attainable gum expectations and schedules.
“If you’re miserable, you’re not going to keep up forever. I tell my clients, if they’re miserable, they’re doing it wrong,” Harden said.
The gym staff works to keep spaces clean and inviting for its members.
Harden said that the environment can help keep a gym habit going.
“(We’re) concerned about the quality of the equipment, we’re concerned about how crowded the gym is. We take steps to protect the environment and make sure this is a place people enjoy coming.”
