There’s nothing wrong with the January epidemic of good intentions: yes, we should all get more exercise done, and your gym of choice is a perfectly functional place to achieve said exercise.
But Virgin’s suggestion that the gym should be used as an excuse to have the lunch break you were entitled to but never took is nothing short of a step back for society. Use that break to read, meditate or discuss Eastenders – and use the gym in a way that actually makes it a positive contribution to your life, rather than adding to the underlying anxiety that is part and parcel of being a human in 2018.
