Make Your New Year Fitness Resolutions A Reality

Jason Butler

As fitness professionals, we are in a unique position to help our clients navigate the often overwhelming journey of New Year’s resolutions. With the new year approaching, many are setting fitness and health goals. Statistics show that nearly 60% of people resolve to exercise more and eat healthier, with 48% aiming for weight loss. Yet, turning these resolutions into lasting habits is rarely a smooth ride.

Recognizing the trends that take place when it comes to fitness resolutions is crucial. A large number of these resolutions lose momentum quickly. Research shows that 80% of individuals who join gyms in January stop attending within the first five months, and gym attendance drops significantly by the second Saturday in February, also known as “Fall Off the Wagon Day.” This trend isn’t just a number; it highlights the common struggles our clients can sometimes face in sticking to their fitness goals.


At Body Worx, we always work with our clients to achieve their fitness goals and continuously maintain them. When it comes to New Year's resolutions, we can work with you to see the change that you want to see within yourself and your fitness capability. Here are six tips that we focus on when it comes to clients and their fitness resolutions. 


  • Set achievable and specific goals. We will work with you to establish clear, realistic goals that are tailored to your current fitness level and lifestyle. Rather than aiming for something vague like "get in shape," set concrete objectives such as "lose 10 pounds in three months" or "run a 5K within six months." These are more achievable than vague goals, and they help keep you motivated. 

  • Develop a realistic workout plan. We will work with you to create a fitness plan that aligns with your goals and fits seamlessly into your daily routine. We will start with manageable exercises and gradually increase intensity as your fitness level improves.

  • Stay Consistent in your Fitness Goals. Commit to your workout routine, even on days when motivation wanes. Try scheduling your workouts at the same time each day to build a lasting habit.

  • Add Variety to Your Workouts. Keep things interesting and avoid hitting a plateau by mixing up your workouts. Experiment with different exercises, fitness classes, or outdoor activities. Cross-training not only enhances overall fitness but also helps prevent overuse injuries. 

  • Progress Won’t Be Noticeable Overnight. Keep in mind that progress is a gradual process, and setbacks are a normal part of the journey. Be kind to yourself, stay optimistic, and stay focused on the long-term rewards of a healthy and active lifestyle. 

  • Harmony Between Your Mind and Body is Essential for Fitness. Personal training focuses on the deep connection between the two. With customized exercise plans, goal-setting, and motivational support, our clients tackle physical challenges and mental barriers that may be holding them back from progress.

At BodyWorx, we offer personalized training and expert guidance. Whether you’re new to fitness or looking to level up your routine, a personal trainer can provide valuable support and ensure you’re using the right techniques. Plus, having someone to hold you accountable can make a huge difference in sticking to your goals.

While fitness is important, it’s also essential to maintain balance. Combine strength training with cardio, flexibility exercises, and rest days. Fuel your body with a healthy diet, stay hydrated, and get enough sleep to allow your muscles to recover and grow. A holistic approach to fitness will help you achieve better results in a sustainable way.



Finally, celebrate your achievements along the way. Fitness is a journey, not a destination. Whether you’ve hit a new personal best in the gym, lost a few pounds, or simply stuck to your routine for a month, take time to acknowledge your progress. Celebrating the small victories will keep you motivated and reinforce your commitment to your goals.

Fitness resolutions can be challenging, but with a clear plan and the right mindset, you can make them happen. At Body Worx, we’re here to help you every step of the way. Start your year with a commitment to your health, and let’s work together to make your fitness goals a reality.
