Thank you! Happy New Year to you too, Daybreak!

As we look forward to our second full year of pursuing better with you, we invite all of you to participate in our #3goalstobetter Challenge. But this isn’t your normal “resolution” or “goals” challenge. It’s more about having fun in the box, tackling some difficult goals, and leveraging our fantastic community to motivate and hold each other accountable.

This is exactly what I need! I’ve eaten enough cake, candy and junk food to last me a lifetime, now I want to start tracking towards some fitness gains. Tell me, yo, what do I do next?

We’ve started talking to you about this in class, but start forming 3 measurable goals. Over the course of this week and next, your coaches will be asking you to document 3 fitness goals you can achieve inside our blue walls by the end of 2016. We want these to be aggressive goals. Ones that will take you out of your comfort zone, but more importantly, these are goals that will make you “better”… better relative to where you are now.

Oh my garsh, I’m no good at this, can you help me craft some goals?

Sure we can. Chat with your coaches, your peers and just get creative! Get insightful! Have fun with it! Look at last years list below, but be sure you can accomplish it within the box and we can observe or measure it.  Some examples include:

• Getting my first pull-up
• Snatching xxx pounds
• Sub x:xx Fran time
• Losing xx pounds
• Gaining xx pounds
• Eating clean xx% of the time
• Dropping x pants/dress sizes
• Attending class at least x times per week
• Eliminating ALL negative comments before, during and after workouts
• Making NO excuses for my performances
• Eliminating added sugars from my diet
• Going to x specialty classes per week
• Wodding with my family x times per week
• Finishing in top x% of my age group in the CrossFit Open (starts in Feb! – we’ll post more about this soon)

Okay, once I have my goals, what ever shall I do with them?

Easy peezy…

#1) POST TO COMMENTS your 2016 goals right down below on this page. For those of you with goals from last year, not only should you post your 2016 goals, but we want you to let us know what you accomplished from your 2015 list and any words of wisdom in terms of what worked and what didn’t. We’ll take these goals and put them on our #3goalstobetter chalkboard in the center of the gym.

#2) SEE MEL so we can snap a quick photo of you to hang by your goals. We want you to be accountable to your goals and what better way than to “own” those goals!

This is so exciting!!! I’m just over the moon about this. I love you Daybreak, but please tell me there’s more. I need just… a little… bit more to help me hit my goals.

Well, because we love our members so much, we are going to run a series of members-only clinics. We will host 1 clinic per month around or on the last Sunday of each month starting in January. The tentative schedule is below. These will be included in all our monthly unlimited memberships and if you have a 3/week membership or legacy attendance packs, it will simply count as 1 visit.

You must reserve your spot at the front desk approximately two weeks before the clinic. We will need at least 10 members signed up to run the clinic and we will charge a $10 no-show fee since we will have limited spots available for each clinic. Otherwise, if you show up… of course, it’s part of your membership!
