We're now 6 weeks into 2024... How are you doing on your fitness training... 1. Never stopped from 2023 and just continued into 2024... I'm a well-oiled machine! 2. Got my self back on track in January and all is progressing well! 3. Having a little trouble getting motivated to get back at it. Wherever you are, you've at least taken a first step by signing up to be a Gator. And wherever you are, we can help you to stay or get on the road to consistency, which is the best way to ultimately get to your fitness goals. If you're #1 or #2, keep it going! If you're #3, break it down into small steps... - Join the Gators... Check! - Go to a workout. And if you need some assistance getting started, we have a full coaching staff that we can connect you with. Additionally we're starting a new mentorship program and can get you connected with one of our experienced athletes. Just reach out to anyone on our club leadership team. This week also features our next youth Gators run workout taking place TONIGHT/Monday, February 12 during our usual 6pm run workout that will be open to adults and youth members.
