Gym membership sales have been known to spike as much as 100 per cent in some fitness centers in January according to the Wall Street Journal, bringing an influx of new patrons into weight rooms, spin studios and cardio bays around the world.

These "January Joiners," as they've come to be known, are freshly motivated, eager to sweat and ready to burn off a little bit of extra holiday indulgence the healthy way -- but for some gym regulars, they're simply a nuisance.

In recent years, gym regulars have increasingly taken to Twitter and Facebook to air their frustrations.

So many people complain about crowded fitness clubs at this time of year that others have come to expect it -- and find the complaints even worse than the crowding itself.
To the people who will complain about NY resolution people at their gym tmw...we get it. You work out. You have superior willpower. CongratsJeff Pasquale
The only thing more annoying than the resolutions gym goers are the people who complain about the resolution gym goersRachel

Of course, plenty of regular-gym goers are sticking up for the January joiner crowd, reminding them that everybody started somewhere.
Come y'all, don't discourage the January joiners. Stay positive for them. Stay positive at the gym when you see them. Encourage!Katie Heddleston, RD

And as usual, jokers are weighing in on the January Joiner debate with some light quips of their own.

I could complain about all the people going to the gym because of New Years resolutions. But that would take going to one once.Mets In Stitches
What's your take? Should gym regulars go easier on January joiners, or do they have a right to be annoyed by the influx on traffic every year?
