New hats and Hoodies

As we step into a new year, it's that time when many of us think about fresh starts, resolutions, and setting goals for a healthier lifestyle. The beginning of January often brings a surge of motivation to change habits and improve our well-being. But, I’ve personally never been a big proponent of New Year’s resolutions related to health and wellness because IMO these things should be ingrained in our everyday lives and culture, not confined to a calendar reset. That’s why it felt especially fitting to read this article by Jenn Pishko on CrossFit CULT(ure) which so clearly articulates what we do and teach every day at CrossFit Winter Park. As her article on CULT(ure) points out, the real magic happens not just by setting goals in isolation, but by immersing ourselves in a supportive environment that sustains those changes 365 days a year. In other words, while many people are making resolutions right now, the CrossFit approach to health is about embedding those resolutions into a year-round, community-driven culture. It’s not just about a January promise to yourself; it’s about joining a space where those promises are supported by shared values, accountability, and collective effort. In that sense, the new year isn't just about individual goals- it's about finding a cultural home that turns those goals into lasting habits...365 days a year. But, if you are reading this, then I’m probably preaching to the choir. You already live it. So, as we start a new year, this is a perfect moment to share these thoughts and ideas with friends or family who might be looking for that same kind of supportive environment. Encourage them to step beyond just a January resolution and come experience how our culture can help turn their goals into lasting habits. It’s a great way for them to see what a difference a strong community can make on their health and wellness. #crossfitisthecure
