Today is ‘Blue Monday’, officially the most depressing day of the year. This is when post-Christmas blues, credit card bills, cold weather and the pressure of New Year’s resolutions combine to form a perfect storm of gloom.

January is exactly the month when most of us could do with a spot of pampering and a well-being boost. Studies show that indulging in some self-care; taking exercise and eating mood-boosting foods are proven to help your body release serotonin, the magical brain hormone that produces much needed ‘happy feelings’.

To help us combat the January Blues, our friends at Kimpton Charlotte Square, are offering readers who sign up for gym memberships at the hotel, throughout January and February, a complimentary overnight stay for two, with breakfast included, if that isn’t Monday Motivation we don’t know what is!

The hotel’s fitness centre boasts chic, modern facilities, including a cardio zone and innovative resistance training equipment, as well as complimentary gym classes. Post workout, there’s also an indoor pool, rejuvenating steam room, and sauna. Members can also look forward to additional benefits such as discounts on spa treatments, products and at the hotel’s The Garden and BABA restaurants.

There’s also a special introductory offer that comes with one month’s free membership; no joining fee and two guest passes for those looking to encourage loved ones to join them in their health regime.    

Kieran Quinn, General Manager at Kimpton Charlotte Square, said:   

“January can be a particularly challenging month for even the most cheerful among us. Making small lifestyle changes though, can have a significant impact on our overall wellbeing.   

“To help our members kick-start 2022, we’re offering those who sign up for gym memberships during the rest of January and February a free night’s stay at the hotel in return.   

“At Kimpton, health and wellbeing remain a priority. What better way to show this than by launching our new membership deal, that gives those who sign up for gym memberships a wonderful stay at our luxury hotel.”   

January Blues, be gone!
