Nearly 93% of New Year’s resolutions fail—but as an X Gym member, you’re already ahead of the curve. You’ve chosen a gym that’s built on science, efficiency, and proven results since 1998. This year, let’s take your resolutions to the next level by setting goals that align with your passion, fuel your relentless drive, and empower you to reach new heights. Together, we’ll make 2025 the year of breakthrough success!
Every year, millions of people resolve to eat better, lose weight, break bad habits, or try something new. Most don’t make it past February. Why? It’s not because they lack desire—it’s because they lack the tools, mindset, and support system to see it through.
At X Gym, we do things differently. With our principles of Time Under Tension, Complete Muscle Fatigue, and a focus on consistency in workouts and nutrition tracking, you’re already set up for success. Progress plateaus are also minimized with our Brain Type Test and frequent cycling of unique exercise methods and routines. Now it’s time to combine all that with relentless determination, strategic planning, and a strong support system to ensure your goals aren’t just set—they’re achieved.
Relentless Drive: Are You All In?
The 7% of people who succeed with their resolutions have one thing in common: they want it badly. They aren’t just interested in their goals—they’re “all in” to achieve them. Their drive comes from an intrinsic fire that keeps them going no matter what obstacles arise. This year, before setting your goals, take a moment for honest self-dialogue and ask yourself:
- How badly do I want it?
Are you willing to do whatever it takes to push through challenges and stay consistent? Your mindset is your most powerful tool. Our Brain Type Test can help with this. - Who’s holding me accountable?
Surround yourself with people who will push you forward and keep you on track when motivation wanes. Share your goals with your friends and family to make it “public” and ask them for their support. - Is my heart truly in it from the start?
Intrinsic motivation—the kind that comes from within—is key to staying locked in. Make sure your goals align with what you deeply care about. Ask WHY you want to achieve your goal. - What will my life look like once I achieve this goal?
Visualize the outcome. Imagine how you’ll feel, how your life will change, and how proud you’ll be of your relentless effort. Imagine this as if it has already happened, for at least 2 minutes, each day. - In the end, will it be worth it?
The journey will require commitment and sacrifice. Make sure the reward is something you’re willing to fight for.
Revisit Your “Why” Daily
Why did you join X Gym in the first place? Whether it’s to feel stronger, look better, or improve your health, keep that motivation front and center by posting it somewhere you will see it every day. If you ever find yourself doubting or motivation waning, just ping PJ to help you reconnect with your purpose. Your “why” is what keeps you anchored through challenges and motivated when the going gets tough.
Why Goals Often Fail
Most resolutions fail for the same predictable reasons, but as an X Gym member, you already have the tools to overcome these pitfalls. Here’s how:
- Ambition Overload
Trying to do too much at once leads to burnout. Instead, focus on one goal and crush it before moving to the next. Start small and let success build momentum by noticing and celebrating the small victories along the way. - Lack of Specificity
Vague goals like “get fit” or “lose weight” rarely work. Replace them with measurable objectives like “increase my 2-minute Jacob’s Ladder distance by 30 feet in three months.” Specificity creates clarity. - No Plan
A goal without a specific plan is just a wish. With X Gym’s Time Under Tension and Complete Muscle Fatigue principles, every workout is already designed to deliver maximum results. Combine this with a nutrition tracker to support your progress outside the gym, and the points mentioned above to create a solid plan! - Lack of Accountability
Resolutions fail when no one’s keeping you accountable. At X Gym, your trainers, other members, and your personal community are all there to hold you to your commitments and celebrate your progress. - Misaligned Motivation
Goals set for external reasons—like what others expect of you—don’t last. Align your goals with your passions and purpose to ensure you’re pursuing something you truly care about.
How X Gym Members Crush Their Goals
- Set Specific, Measurable Goals
Don’t just say you want to “lose weight” or “get fit.” Be precise. For example, “lose 5 pounds of bodyfat in two months by attending X Gym twice a week and tracking nutrition daily” is actionable and achievable.

Once you’ve set your goal, lock in on it with the mindset of doing whatever it takes. Obstacles will arise, but the 7% who succeed keep pushing. Let that intrinsic drive fuel you through every challenge. - Track Your Progress
Consistency is key. Use a food tracker to monitor your nutrition and an app to track your workouts, and remember our $10,000 scale is free to use for all members! Data keeps you accountable and helps you celebrate small wins along the way. - Get a Support System
No one succeeds alone. Lean on your trainers, your X Gym community, and your family or friends for support. Feedback and encouragement are critical for staying on track and motivated. - Lean Into X Gym Principles
Short, efficient workouts using Time Under Tension and Complete Muscle Fatigue deliver faster results, keeping you motivated and seeing progress. Combine this with consistent nutrition for the ultimate one-two punch. - Break It Down
Big goals can be daunting, so focus on smaller milestones. If your goal is to build muscle, start with a target like “increase my bicep curl by 5 pounds this month.” Incremental wins build unstoppable momentum. - Do what PJ suggests
Those who get the best results do everything on the plan PJ designs for them. Period. Full stop. 100% of the time. No Xceptions!
