Halfway Through 2025: Time for a Mid-Year Reset

Evan Amell • July 2, 2025

Can you believe we’re already past the halfway mark of 2025?



It feels like the year just started—and yet here we are. July is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and check in on the goals you set back in January.

Are You on track?

Take a moment to think about the goals you set—especially your health and fitness goals.


If you're on track:
That’s fantastic! Keep that momentum going. This is the time to double down on what’s working. Plan for the second half of the year so you can finish strong and maybe even exceed your expectations.


If you’re not quite where you wanted to be:
Don’t panic—and definitely don’t give up.


There’s still plenty of time to make progress. Maybe you won’t reach the full goal by December, and that’s okay. What matters is that you keep moving forward.


Let’s say your goal was to lose 80 lbs in 2025. If you haven’t lost any weight yet, it’s tempting to feel defeated. But what if you lost 40 lbs by the end of the year instead? That’s still a huge win—and it gives you momentum heading into 2026.

progress over perfection

One of the most important lessons we’ve learned from working with clients is that success doesn’t always come right away. Many people come in with ambitious goals, but it can take months—or even years—before things really start to click.


And during that time? They often feel frustrated or wonder if it’s even worth continuing.



But the clients who stick with it—who keep showing up to sessions, who make small lifestyle adjustments—those are the ones who eventually see life-changing results.

your mid-year check-you

As we move into the second half of the year, now’s the time to ask yourself:

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your progress on your 2025 health and fitness goals?
(1 = way behind, 10 = ahead of schedule)

Be honest with yourself—and then use that number as your new starting point.



Whether you're at a 2 or an 8, the key is the same: don’t stop. Keep showing up, keep adjusting, and keep believing in your ability to improve.

the bottom line

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep going.



Let the second half of 2025 be your turning point. Whether you’re building on momentum or getting back on track, there’s still time to finish strong.

Personal Training vs. Small Group Training: Which Is Better For Your Busy Schedule?

By Evan Amell • November 6, 2025
Let's be real for a minute... you're juggling work deadlines, family responsibilities, and somehow trying to squeeze in a workout that actually makes a difference. Sound familiar? You're not alone in this struggle.

Here's the thing: both options can work for busy schedules, but they work differently. The key is figuring out which approach fits your specific lifestyle, goals, and let's be honest... your sanity level.

How to Eat Through the Holidays Without Derailing Your Fitness Progress

By Evan Amell • October 15, 2025
The holidays are a time for celebration, connection, and yes. Delicious food. However, if you're committed to your fitness journey, this season can feel like a battlefield of temptation. The good news? You don’t have to choose between enjoying the holidays and staying on track with your goals. 🎯 1. Shift Your Mindset: It’s Not All or Nothing The biggest trap people fall into during the holidays is the “all or nothing” mindset. You miss a workout, overeat at a party, or indulge in dessert—and suddenly it's, "I'll start again in January." Stop. One meal doesn't derail all of your progress. Do your best which is better than just throwing in the towel 🥗 2. Prioritize Protein and Veggies First Before diving into the tasty carbohydrates. Prioritize Protein and Veggies first before consuming other foods to help with appetite control throughout your meal. 🧠 3. Use the "One Plate Rule" Instead of going back for seconds (or thirds), go for just one plate and fill it with what you want(can be anything). 🍷 4. Drink Smart (Yes, Even Alcohol) Set a limit ahead of time and don't deviate from the plan. Be sure to alternate a glass of water between drinks to maintain hydration and make it easier to limit consumption of alcohol 🧁 5. Don’t “Save Calories” All Day Skipping meals to prepare for the big meals usually doesn't end well. Eat like normal so at the end of the day, you don't feel the need to binge eat to make up for the lack of eating during the day. 🏋️‍♂️ 6. Stay Active (Even If It’s Not a Full Workout) During the holidays, your regular training schedule might take a hit. That’s OK. Focus on movement, not perfection. This could be a 10-15 minute workout. A walk after a meal. Any movement is better than no movement. Holiday season will be upon us soon so be sure to implement these strategies so you can stay on track with your fitness goals and also enjoy the holidays!
