Do you have an Elf on the Shelf in your house? Although our kids do think it’s a bit creepy, adopting an elf for the holiday season has become a fun tradition.
The goal of the Elf on the Shelf is to encourage good deeds and behavior leading up to Christmas. It’s an accountability tool.
Accountability is key to consistency, and consistency is key to reaching your goals.
At CrossFit 781 we have a plan and process to hold you accountable, so you can be consistent, get results, and reach your goals, without being too creepy.
Here’s how my gym keeps you accountable:
1) You use a reservation system to sign up in advance for classes.
This sets aside specific slots for exercise on your calendar. All you have to do is stick to them like your other important commitments, and show up.
2) You track your workouts with an app.
Your workout results provide tangible evidence of your hard work, keep you motivated, and provide opportunities to evaluate and adjust. Every workout you record is an act of self accountability and a chance to build momentum.
3) You have regularly scheduled meetings to talk about your progress, struggles, and goals.
One-on-one meetings with a coach give you an expert source of external accountability. This is an opportunity to reflect on what’s going well, and what can be improved. You get the guidance and support you need to reach your goals.
4) You have regularly scheduled InBody scans.
This is another way you can see your results! More than just weight, the InBody will show you the muscle you’re building and fat you’re burning.
5) Your coaches, classmates, and community notice when you’re not here, and we miss you.
The good kind of peer pressure! Working out with friends is more fun, and when you’re a part of a fitness community your workout is for more than just you. We’re all in it together! Supporting and driving each other’s success.
6) I run a report every week and reach out if you haven’t been here.
If you haven’t been in for a workout in the last seven days, I’m going to reach out. The most important thing you can do for yourself is consistently show up. I’ll hold you accountable to get here.
Once you’re here, you’ll have expert coaching, a friendly community, and customized workouts, so the results take care of themselves.
