At the start of a new year it’s natural to think about what you’d like to work towards for the year to come.

Most people start the year with good intentions. The reason many don’t follow through isn’t lack of motivation. It’s usually because goals are vague, unrealistic or disconnected from what their life actually looks like.

So this year, we’d love you to take a few minutes to set training goals that truly support you.

Think beyond the scale!

Powerful training goals can look like:

• Training consistently for X days a week without burnout

• Going to True Grit this year

• Improving endurance in Y exercise

• Moving pain-free with Z injury

• Participating in Strength Testing

• Doing X kgs in a certain exercise

Setting Your Goals into Action

Specific
Be clear about what you want to improve.
Instead of “I want to get fitter”, try “I will attend 3 STRONG sessions per week”.

Measurable
Choose something you can track.
This might be sessions attended, a lift you’re working toward, or completing a certain challenge.

Attainable
Your goal should stretch you, not exhaust you.
Training consistently at 2–3 sessions per week beats a short burst of every single day and burning out.

Relevant
Your goal should fit your current life.
Work, family, stress levels and energy all matter. The best goals are ones you can actually sustain.

Time-bound
Give yourself a timeframe.
For example: “By the end of March” or “over the next 12 weeks”.

If you’re unsure what goals make sense for you, we’re always happy to help you shape something that feels aligned, realistic and challenging.

Here’s to a year of smashing our goals!
