It may sound super cliché and sappy at this point, but there is undisputable truth in the statement: everyone hits the gyms, pools and bicycles once a new year rolls around to fulfill that “I’m going to lose weight this year no matter what” recurring goal we all have. Sure, we all fall off the proverbial horse when January rolls around and start using that expensive treadmill we ordered off QVC or HSN as a clothes hangar, but no one can accuse us of not trying.

For those of you who plan to continue riding that proverbial horse to actually meet those fitness goals, the following Woodland Hills athletic businesses will do their best to help you stick to fulfilling your resolutions.
