With up to 30% of all new gym memberships taking place in the month of January, trimming up and getting into shape is a priority each New Year. Although all resolutions start with good intent, figures released at the start of 2012 showed that the public wastes a total of 37 billion on gym memberships, exercise and slimming classes they never attend.

A home gym can often provide a more practical, private solution. Jackson-Stops & Staff has a number of properties on the market with exceptional gyms that can keep your resolutions on track.
