Millions of Britons are stashing away their home gym equipment in storage 'out of sight, out of mind' until their health kick starts in the New Year.
Bosses at The Box Co spoke to 5,000 of its customers to find out what they were 'packing away' this October.
The firm found that gym gear was one of the top October items, with 15 per cent of those polled saying they had put exercise bikes, rowing machines, running machines, treadmills, ski trainers and dumbbells into storage in the past fortnight.
Dubbed 'Sloth-tober' by The Box Co, bosses say it's an annual trend which will see Britons put their gym gear in and out of storage four times a year.
