Summertime and Fitness can co-exist!

It may seem hard to get and STAY motivated with your fitness goals this time of year, but you can do it!

Does that seem about right? Some days it's easier than others to reach for that goal- all the right things just seem to be clicking, and on other days you're just ready to cash it all in!!

Does it seem especially true in the summer, as opposed to the dead of winter? It seems strange that it's easier to get motivated when it's dark and cold out, than the hazy, lazy days of summer!!

But this is also true:

I'm sure you've read past emails about getting started before the New Year...and then once the New Year arrives, get in shape for spring, then spring turns to summer, and then it's Pumpkin Spice season, and so on and so on...and you still haven't met that goal. So, if not now, when?

I have a challenge for you....

The summer is traditionally LOW in terms of gym attendance (we know how high it is in January!) and classes are typically smaller. Why not take advantage of the extra room on the floor, the extra trainer attention, and add variety and flexibility to what your normally do?

This is a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to focus!! This is the time of year to finally break out of the rut, or doldrums you might find yourself in and GO FOR IT!! Don't worry what other people are doing- or NOT doing, such as going to class! Make this June challenge about you and your goals. Get right with your nutrition too. The summer is a great time to get fresh, local produce and eat well!

Sunday June 25th at 9am is our Kickoff Meeting. It's part class, part workout, and is an opportunity to reset, refocus and recommit to yourself! Join The MAX Challenge of Brick for a one hour workshop that could finally put you on the path to reaching your fitness and wellness goals!

Please feel free to call us with any questions at 732-701-3423, or email denise@themaxchallenge.com if that's easier for you! Our entire team is here to help you be successful, and reach your goals!

We're looking forward to an awesome summer!
