It’s October—still plenty of time before January 1, 2025—but you’ve probably already started thinking about what resolutions you want to tackle in the new year. Maybe it’s losing weight, getting stronger, showing up to the gym more often, or simply committing to a healthier lifestyle. While the “New Year, New Me” idea sounds promising, the truth is that waiting until January 1 to start your resolution is just another way of delaying your progress.
At CrossFit Be Someone, we believe there’s no reason to wait. Whether you're already a member working towards goals, struggling with consistency, or someone considering starting your journey with us, the best time to take action is now. Here’s why getting started today will put you ahead, mentally and physically, long before the ball drops.
1. Procrastination Kills Progress
The idea of starting fresh at the beginning of a new year feels satisfying—on paper. But in reality, every day that you delay your goals makes it harder to build the momentum you need. For members of CrossFit Be Someone who are struggling with consistency, starting today gives you a chance to reclaim control before the holiday distractions pull you further off track. It’s common to think, “I’ll just wait until January to reset,” but this thought pattern keeps people stuck in a cycle of inconsistency.
Instead, commit to a small action today. Whether that’s showing up for class, meal prepping for the week, or booking a personal training session, these small wins will build the habits you need to make lasting change.
2. It’s Easier to Stay on Track Than Start Over
If you’ve been working towards a goal—whether it’s building strength, improving endurance, or dialing in your nutrition—now isn’t the time to lose ground. Progress compounds over time, and staying committed through the fall and winter months ensures you’ll hit January 1 already ahead.
Think about it: If you wait until the new year, you’ll have to start from scratch, rebuild routines, and get back into the rhythm of attending classes. On the other hand, if you stay consistent now, the new year becomes an opportunity to celebrate your progress instead of struggling to rebuild habits you let slip.
For those who are already CrossFit Be Someone members but have been inconsistent, getting back to class today will reestablish the habit of showing up. Even if life is busy, every class you attend now counts towards your success. The future “you” will thank you for not pressing pause.
3. Goals Aren’t Seasonal
Real transformation isn’t limited to January 1—it happens daily, with every workout, healthy meal, and consistent effort. At CrossFit Be Someone, we know that your goals require continuous effort, not just a temporary commitment tied to a specific date. Whether your goal is to hit a new personal record, build muscle, or improve mobility, waiting for a date on the calendar won’t bring you any closer.
Ask yourself: If it’s important enough to be your New Year’s resolution, why wait to start? The time will pass anyway—why not start working towards your goal now and arrive in 2025 feeling accomplished instead of anxious to begin?
4. Building Momentum Through the Holidays
The holiday season can be a tricky time. It’s filled with social gatherings, travel plans, and plenty of distractions—many of which make it tempting to delay fitness goals. However, starting your resolution today gives you time to develop discipline and routines that carry you through the most challenging season of the year. By creating momentum now, you’ll be less likely to fall into the “holiday slump” and more likely to stay consistent.
For members struggling with attendance, this is the perfect opportunity to regain consistency and set boundaries with yourself. If you commit to attending two or three classes each week starting now, you’ll build the resilience to stay on track, even when life gets hectic. When January arrives, you’ll already be in motion, making it easier to crush your 2025 goals from the start.
5. Start Today, Be Stronger Tomorrow
For those who haven’t yet started their fitness journey with CrossFit Be Someone, there’s no reason to wait. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking, “I’ll start when things slow down,” but the truth is, there will never be a perfect time to begin. Life will always be busy. What matters is starting where you are now.
Joining the gym today not only gives you an early start on your fitness goals but also provides you access to a supportive community that will keep you accountable. At CrossFit Be Someone, you’re not just signing up for workouts—you’re joining a team that celebrates progress, shows up for each other, and pushes through challenges together. Why wait to experience that kind of support?
6. Don't Wait for Motivation—Build It
Many people wait for the right burst of motivation to start working towards their goals, but motivation is fleeting. At CrossFit Be Someone, we believe that motivation follows action. Once you take the first step—whether it’s attending class, booking a personal training session, or committing to your goal—momentum will build, and motivation will follow.
If you’ve been hesitant to work on a specific goal, consider this your sign: Start today. You don’t need to feel 100% ready to take action; you just need to begin. Small actions lead to big changes, and by the time January 1 rolls around, you’ll already be ahead.
7. Make 2025 the Year of Results, Not Resolutions
Instead of waiting until January to begin working on your goals, make 2025 the year you celebrate the results of the work you started today. Imagine walking into the new year knowing that you’ve already lost those first 5 pounds, mastered a new movement, or rebuilt the habit of attending class regularly. How much better will it feel to kick off 2025 with a sense of accomplishment instead of the pressure of starting over?
For those of you at CrossFit Be Someone who have a goal but haven’t started yet, today is the day to change that. Don’t let another month slip by without making progress. Reach out to a coach, set a small action plan, and begin chipping away at what matters to you.
8. The Power of Accountability
Whether you’ve been inconsistent with attending class, struggling to commit to a goal, or hesitant to join, accountability is key to making progress. At CrossFit Be Someone, you’re never alone on this journey. Our coaches, fellow athletes, and community are here to support you and hold you to your goals—no matter how big or small.
If you’re finding it tough to stay committed, connect with a coach or training partner. Accountability works wonders for turning intentions into action, and we’re here to help you every step of the way.
Final Thoughts: Start Where You Are
There’s no magic to January 1. If your goals matter, they matter today. Whether you’ve been inconsistent, hesitant, or waiting for the perfect moment to begin, this is your reminder: There is no better time to start than now.
At CrossFit Be Someone, we believe that progress happens daily through consistent effort and small wins. Don’t wait for a date on the calendar to dictate when you start becoming the best version of yourself. Start today—and by the time the new year arrives, you’ll already be living it.
What action will you take today to move closer to your goals? Whether it’s attending class, signing up for personal training, or starting your membership, the future you will thank you for not waiting. Let's crush it, one day at a time.
