Why October is the perfect month to start your fitness journey

As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, October quietly emerges as one of the best months to begin your fitness journey.

While January often steals the spotlight for resolutions, autumn offers a more realistic and sustainable starting point for building healthy habits.

Here are a couple of reasons why you should make a start this October:

Cooler weather, better workouts

The summer heat is gone, making it easier to enjoy indoor exercise. Whether it’s a gym session or a group class, the mild temperatures help you stay comfortable and consistent. Book a class today.

Boost your mood

Shorter days and darker mornings can affect your energy and mood. Regular exercise is a proven way to fight seasonal blues, improve sleep, and increase your overall sense of wellbeing.

Get ahead of the holidays

Starting now means you’ll feel stronger, more confident, and less stressed by the time the festive season arrives. It’s a great way to balance out the indulgences that often come with holiday celebrations.

Reset your routine

With fewer social events and distractions, October is a great time to build a consistent workout schedule. You’re more likely to stick with it when life feels a little calmer.

Fight off flu

October is the ideal time to strengthen your body’s defences before cold and flu season peaks. Regular exercise boosts your immune system, reduces stress, and improves sleep – all key factors in staying healthy as the weather turns. Starting now means you’ll be better prepared to fight off seasonal bugs and feel your best through winter.
