Searches related to health and fitness on the site outweighed those made for discounts on restaurants; with twice as many searches relating to fitness as those relating to eating out or takeaways.
Mark Pearson, Chairman of MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, commented on the statistics:
“2013 has clearly got off to a very healthy start, with more people looking to save money on health and fitness than ever before, according to our statistics. January usually sees more searches of this kind than the monthly average as New Year’s resolutions kick in, but it’s clear that this year was exceptional; people are serious about getting fit!”
