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.

I recently worked with Redfin to provide them with some insight on making the most of minimal equipment when doing home workouts for a blog post they put together titled 9 Home Workout Ideas to Stay Active and Fit at Home . See below for the excerpt featuring quotes and recommendations for me on how you can best utilize whatever equipment you have at home to keep working towards your fitness goals!

If you don’t have time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness.

Now you probably read the title and thought “that is a pretty dark way to look at this”. However, the unfortunate reality is that there is truth to it. People way too often kick the can down the road. Year after year after year after year. Until one day it finally catches up with them. They find out that they have elevated blood sugar. They find out they have osteopenia that could lead to osteoporosis. They find out their triglyceride and cholesterol levels are concerning. They take a fall and fracture a bone. You get the story. They have a bad wake up call. People take their health for granted until it starts to go. Remember the times that you lose electricity because of a storm or accident? Almost makes you feel helpless since everything runs on electricity. The difference with that versus the scenarios I gave you above is that all those issues are preventable with healthy lifestyle choices. The key is being proactive. It doesn’t mean you need to take on a regimen like a professional athlete. You are too busy for that. However, you can do things today that will put you at a SIGNIFICANTLY LESS risk to developing chronic disease and aside from that, improving your quality life. We talk about investing financially for your future but think of eating healthy and moving daily as your investment in your health so you can THRIVE in retirement. Traveling. Playing with your grandkids. Not paying huge medical bills because of unhealthy decisions. Maintaining your independence. All very important things but require time and effort in order to reach those milestones in your later years. So don’t wait until it's too late. Strength training 2-3x/week, walking daily, and eating mostly whole foods will have a profound effect on your health in ways you wouldn’t think possible.
