Written by Sally Larrington-Brown
Welcome to 2025—a year of new beginnings and limitless potential. Whether you're continuing your fitness journey or starting fresh, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Let’s kick off the year with inspiration, practical tips, and a strong sense of community.
New Year, New Goals:
The start of a new year is the perfect time to set intentions. Here’s how to make your resolutions stick:
1. Get Specific – Instead of vague goals like “get in shape,” define what success looks like. For example:
• Strength: Perform 20 hospital bed lifts in eight weeks.
• Endurance: Bike 150 kilometers by summer.
• Weight Loss: Lose 15 pounds by July.
2. Break It Down – Divide your goal into smaller milestones. Celebrate every achievement—big or small!
3. Write It Down – Studies show that written goals are more likely to be accomplished.
Tracking Progress: The Key to Success:
Staying consistent can be tough, but tracking your journey makes it easier. It’s so cool that you can monitor your performance with tools like:
Keiser Bike Computers for real-time ride data.
OnBeat Heart Rate Monitoring to fine-tune your workouts.
Our fun coaches and community support to keep you accountable.
Remember: What gets measured gets improved.
Coach’s Corner: E-SMART Goal-Setting:
Our coaches swear by the SMARTE framework:
Endorphins: How do you feel after each class? woo-hoo!
Specific: What exactly do you want to achieve?
Measurable: How will you track your progress?
Achievable: Is this realistic for your current level?
Relevant: Does this align with your long-term vision?
Time-bound: When do you want to achieve it?
If you’re unsure where to start, ask one of our team members for guidance.
