Let’s Talk About What You’re Training For & More Importantly...Why.

 🤔 I see goals walk into AO every day:

• “I want to get stronger.”

• “I want to feel better in my body.”

• “I want to lose 10 lbs.”

• “ I want to feel less pain.”

All valid. All achievable.
But here’s the thing—we rarely hit our goals if we don’t understand the real reason we want them.

💡 So let’s dig a little deeper... WHY do you want to feel stronger?

Is it confidence?

Is it so you don’t blow out your back when you’re making your bed?

Energy to show up better for your family?

Proving to yourself that you’re capable of more?

That emotional connection—that’s the thing.

More than the weight on the bar or the number on the scale, that’s what really drives change.

🚧 But even with clarity, there are still things that get in the way. Let’s name them.

Maybe it’s...

Inconsistency – You start strong… then life happens. You fall off, start again. It’s frustrating.

Overwhelm – You want to do it all—eat clean, lift heavy, sleep 8 hours—but where do you even start?

Perfectionism – If you can’t do it “right,” it feels like you shouldn’t do it at all. So nothing happens.

Self-doubt – That voice in your head says, “You’ll never stick with it.” So why bother?

Time scarcity – Between work, family, and everything else, there’s never a “good” time to prioritize you. I get it… As a mom of two myself, even the basic tasks can feel daunting.

These aren’t surface-level excuses.
They’re real blocks. And here’s the kicker:

🧠 These are the actual obstacles keeping you from your goals.

It’s not laziness. It’s not lack of motivation.
You’re carrying a lot—and maybe haven’t had the systems, support, or space to move forward.

That’s where AO comes in. 👇

We’ve created a space that makes it easier to stick with your goals—without pressure or perfection.

👥 Supportive community:
You’re not doing this alone. Whether you’re showing up for the first time or starting over for the 10th time, you’ll be surrounded by people who are here to work, support each other, and keep it real.

🎯 Coaches who pay attention:
We’re not just standing on the sidelines—we’re in it with you. Our team checks in regularly, makes adjustments based on where you’re at, and helps you stay focused without adding pressure.

⏱️ Flexible options that fit real life:
From 1:1 training to group classes and small group personal training, there’s a format and schedule that works—even when things are busy.

📝 Quarterly goal check-ins:
If you want help staying on track, we’ve got a simple way to do that.
Drop your current goals here in our fancy goals tracker, and we’ll check in with you every quarter to help you stay focused and supported—without the overwhelm.

We're here to make progress possible, not perfect.

When your goal has purpose, and your environment supports it—you win.

✍️ This Week’s Challenge:

Take 5 minutes to think about:

1. Your current goal

2. Why it really matters

3. What might be getting in the way

4. What support you need (from us or yourself)

You don't have to do this alone—we're here for ya!

“I’m so glad I found Athletic Outcomes! I had to stop strength training because of a hand injury and surgery and thought my strength days were over. The amazing trainers at AO have been helping me meet my goals with their creativity and expertise. Small group personal training is affordable and can be customized based on the individual athlete.” Laurie J.

Hoping to see you at AO… Soon!
