The new year is here, and with it comes endless possibilities to grow, thrive, and smash those goals. Whether you're looking to build strength, improve balance, or simply show up more consistently for yourself, we're here to support you every step of the way.
Did you know that while 30-40% of people set New Year’s resolutions, only 9% manage to achieve them by the year’s end? That might sound intimidating, but here's the good news—SPENGA is here to make sure you land in that top 9% this year.
To help you set yourself up for success, we’ll explore why resolutions often fail, how you can overcome these hurdles, and how our community at SPENGA can keep you motivated all year long..
Why Do Resolutions Fail?
Before we jump into how to succeed, let's look at the most common reasons resolutions lose steam:
1. Lack of Specificity and Planning
Many of us fall into the trap of setting vague goals like “get fit” or “exercise more.” Without a clear game plan, it’s incredibly difficult to stay consistent and track progress.
SPENGA Tip: Break goals into small, manageable steps. Instead of saying "work out more," try "attend 3 SPENGA sessions a week."
2. Unrealistic Expectations
Setting overly ambitious goals can lead to burnout and discouragement. For example, aiming to lose 30 pounds in a month or work out every single day is often unattainable. When results don't come quickly, it’s easy to give up.
SPENGA Tip: Think long-term! Aim for steady, sustainable progress. Remember, consistency pays off more than perfection.
3. Lack of Motivation and Accountability
Without a community or support system cheering you on, it’s easy to lose momentum. Studies show nearly a quarter of people abandon their resolutions after just one week. The key? Accountability.
SPENGA Tip: Share your goals with someone who can help you stay on track—whether it’s a workout buddy or your coach.
4. Poor Tracking
Without monitoring your progress, it’s hard to celebrate wins or adjust where needed. Tracking gives you tangible evidence that your hard work is paying off.
SPENGA Tip: Use a journal or fitness app to document your workouts and progress.
How to Crush Your Goals in 2025
Now that we know what not to do, here’s how to turn 2025 into your most successful year yet.
Clear, Specific Goals
Start by setting realistic, measurable goals. Break them into milestones you can achieve month by month or even week by week. For example:
- Instead of: “Tone my body.”
- Try: “Attend 8 SPENGA classes by the end of January and increase my weights by 5 pounds during strength sessions.”
Find Your Intrinsic "Why"
Ask yourself what really motivates you. Do you want to build more energy for your kids? Feel strong and confident? Whatever your “why” is, make sure it resonates deeply with you.
SPENGA Bonus: Want help discovering your "why"? Join our Goal-Setting Workshops (details below) to uncover your deeper motivation.
Build Accountability Through Community
Community is everything. Sharing your goals with others doubles your chances of achieving them! Luckily, SPENGA North Raleigh is the perfect built-in support system to hit the ground running.
How We Support You:

- Connect with fellow members for extra encouragement and motivation.
- Use our SPENGA sessions, which seamlessly combine spin, strength, and yoga, to build your perfect workout routine.
Set Realistic Expectations
Life happens—unexpected meetings, busy schedules, or even just a need to rest. The key is to adjust your plans when necessary and celebrate progress, not perfection.
Track Your Progress
From your fitness milestones to improved mental clarity, tracking small wins helps build momentum. Use SPENGA’s app or a fitness tracker to log each workout and reflect on your achievements.
