The campaign aims to tackle the stigma around the failure to complete New Year&#8217;s resolutions, often centered around unrealistic expectations on body image, by encouraging gym-goers to shred their resolutions and shift to a more realistic, confidence-boosting approach to fitness.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. News &#038; World Report reported that approximately 80% of New Year&#8217;s resolutions fail. Resolutions are often created with the best intentions, but why are they so difficult to achieve? According to a recent survey commissioned by Blink Fitness and conducted online by Harris Poll, nearly all Americans who make New Year&#8217;s resolutions (97%) have made one that focuses on improving their physical appearance. Idealistic goals like drastic weight loss often top these lists, so when the desired results aren&#8217;t evident, disappointment follows. In fact, 44% of Americans who make New Year&#8217;s resolutions say they feel like a failure when they don&#8217;t complete them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Instead of perpetuating the cycle of broken resolutions, Blink is taking a stance to break this habit with a more realistic approach to exercise, focusing on small, motivating goals. This notion has always been at the core of our brand philosophy,&#8221; said Ellen Roggemann, VP of Marketing for Blink Fitness. &#8220;We know that when something makes you feel good, like exercise, you&#8217;ll keep doing it. Successful resolutions aren&#8217;t about losing 25 pounds, dropping three dress sizes, or getting a six-pack. New Year&#8217;s resolutions should make us all feel good, not discouraged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To further support the launch, Blink will host &#8220;The Great Resolution Shred.&#8221; On Monday, January 8, there will be a resolution shredding party at Blink&#8217;s Bryant Park location in New York City (@ 5 Bryant Park). The gym will have paper shredders throughout as members are encouraged to shred their unrealistic resolutions and start the year with easy-to-reach, confidence-boosting goals. Blink will have additional in-gym festivities, where participating members will also have the chance to win free personal training sessions, Blink swag, and more.<\/p>\n<p>#ResolutionHappy continues to reinforce Blink&#8217;s original &#8220;Every Body Happy&#8221; platform, launched in January 2016. In its latest campaign creative, the video features real members shredding their impractical resolutions, and resolving to make attainable, feel-good changes like &#8220;run five minutes more&#8221; or &#8220;make a bomb music playlist,&#8221; for the year ahead.<\/p>\n<p>With the launch of #ResolutionHappy, Blink continues to drive its momentum forward with 63 corporate-owned locations, including the recent opening of its very first gym in Los Angeles. Blink&#8217;s world-class franchising program is also primed for success as it continues to expand the brand&#8217;s footprint across the country with 51 franchise units sold, adding to the goal of having 300 gyms open in the next five years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>NEW YORK, N.Y.<\/strong> &#8211; Blink Fitness, a premium-quality, value-based gym introduced its newest ad campaign, #ResolutionHappy.
