HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

A new year means a fresh start to get back on track to creating the best version of yourself and living your best life. It’s also an opportunity to take another look at your previous goals, what your current goals might be, and what you need to do to stay on track.

To kick-off the new year, we’re launching some new fun… We will also celebrate our most recent Athlete of the month, and take a look a head to see some of the excitement we have planned a head of us!

   Quote of the Month   

   Bright Spots   

Bright Spots: Looking for, recognizing, acknowledging, & celebrating personal wins. A good thing that occurs during a bad or difficult time. The silver lining. Looking for the good throughout the entire journey….

Our lives are filled with some many things that keep us super busy, and many of those things are often out of our control. We can sometimes find ourselves getting overwhelmed, being overworked, or having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when there is so much going on.

In the act of thinking about “What went well today, this week, this month, this year?” we take time to reflect on the things that made us happy or brought us joy. This act of looking for happiness makes us find it! Finding & appreciating happiness allows us to operate at a higher, more positive frequency, in turn, making us less susceptible to any negativity around us.

This year, every Friday we’re going to practice happiness and celebrate our wins with Bright Spots Friday. Our entire community is welcome to participate in this weekly self-love activity. In order to participate all that you need to do is post your bright spots to our athlete Facebook page or email your bright spots to a coach anytime on Fridays each week.

   Featured Bright Spots   

To help kick off Bright Spots… Here are some Tradewinds Bright Spots from 2018:

  • We had 9,284 class check-ins
  • There were 1,142 personal records logged
  • As a gym we lost over 100lbs & over 40% body fat during our nutrition challenges
  • We hosted over 40 community events
  • We had 4 internal competitions with over 60 athletes participating
  • There were 101 runners in our ILW5k Charity Race
  • We donated over $2500 to local charities

A lot of awesome stuff went down in 2018… We are super pumped for all the awesome ahead of us in 2019!!

   Bright Spots Challenge   

To take our new practice even further, we are going to host a little Bright Spots Challenge for our 1st ever weekly Bright Spots. This Friday (1/4) share your first Tradewinds Bright Spots & enter for a chance to win a custom athlete T-shirt.

To participate, all you need to do is post your Bright Spots in any of the following ways: post to our athlete Facebook page, post them to your personal Facebook or Instagram pages (make sure to tag us @crossfittradewinds so we see it), or email us. Feel free to make your bright spots into a video or include pictures. Let us know if you have any questions, and Happy Bright Spotting!
