The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and indulgence—and it can also be a challenging time to stay consistent with your fitness goals. Here at Surge Kickboxing, we want to help you stay on track so you can enjoy the holidays without sacrificing your hard-earned progress.
Whether it’s family gatherings, holiday feasts, or travel plans, these months can be packed with distractions that make sticking to a routine more difficult. The good news? With a few strategies in place, you can maintain your progress, reduce stress, and even enjoy the holidays more fully. Here’s how you can make it happen:
During the holiday season, schedules can get hectic. But by planning ahead, you can fit your workouts into your day, no matter how busy things get. Take a look at your calendar and decide which days you’ll be training at Surge. Set alarms, add workout times to your calendar, and treat these sessions as appointments you can’t miss.
Surge Tip: If you have limited time, opt for shorter, high-intensity workouts to get maximum results in less time. Our 30-minute striking classes and kickboxing drills are perfect for getting your heart rate up quickly!
The holidays are about spending time with others, so why not make fitness part of that time? Invite friends and family to join you for a class at Surge Kickboxing! Not only will you be able to spend time with loved ones, but you’ll also stay motivated and accountable by working out together.
And if you bring a friend to one of our special holiday classes, you both get the benefit of a fun, stress-busting workout! Plus, we have exciting incentives through our referral program.
Instead of waiting until January to set big fitness goals, consider setting small, achievable goals for each week throughout the holiday season. These mini-goals could be as simple as committing to three workouts a week, increasing your weights in class, or mastering a new skill, like that tricky kick you’ve been working on.
Setting these smaller goals will give you a sense of progress and keep you motivated through the season. And by the time the New Year arrives, you’ll be way ahead of the game!
Let’s be real—the holidays are a time for treats, and that’s okay! Don’t let occasional indulgences derail you. Instead, think of each day as a fresh start, and keep making healthy choices as often as you can. Getting in a great workout, like a morning kickboxing class, can actually make you more mindful of your food choices later on.
Our classes are perfect for burning off those extra calories, so even if you do indulge, you’ll be on track with an awesome sweat session at Surge Kickboxing.
When things get busy, remember that any movement is better than no movement. If you can’t make it to Surge for a full class, find other ways to stay active. Go for a walk, do a quick home workout, or spend a few minutes stretching and practicing your kickboxing techniques.
Remember, staying on track isn’t about being perfect. It’s about maintaining a mindset that prioritizes health and movement.
Here at Surge, we know the holiday season is a tricky time to stay committed, which is why we’ve got programs and challenges designed to keep you motivated! This October, we’re hosting a Refer a Friend challenge with some awesome prizes, and you don’t want to miss our Train for the Rest of the Year promotion! Starting in late October, you’ll be able to take advantage of a special offer to stay fit through the holidays and enter the new year feeling your best.
Finally, don’t forget about self-care during the holiday season. It’s not just about working out; it’s about taking time for yourself to recharge. Kickboxing is an excellent way to blow off steam and manage holiday stress. Taking time to focus on your mental and physical health will leave you feeling energized and ready to tackle everything the season throws at you.
We’re here to support you, and we believe that staying active during the holidays can make this season even more enjoyable. From our packed class schedule to our supportive community, Surge Kickboxing has everything you need to keep moving forward and feeling great.
So this holiday season, stay on track, keep showing up, and celebrate the season with the strength and confidence that comes from staying active. We can’t wait to see you in class and help you crush those holiday goals!
