GOALszn Values

When you join a community like GOALszn, you're not just signing up for workouts—you're committing to a set of values that shape the group's vibe. This is true of any group you join!

The values that hold GOALszn together are:

• Accountability: you're held to your weekly workout goal in a group setting

• Community: you're sharing your wins with a group of committed teammates

• Novelty: you're trying new things, being exposed to new workouts and routines, etc.

• Balance: …you're starting to see why we led with cookies, right

Because GOALszn has roots in the wellness and fitness world, balance often gets overlooked, but it's so important!

Balance means thinking about more than just hitting the gym regularly; it's about finding a flow between the different areas of your life. We advocate for team members to embark on their fitness journeys while also savoring the things that make it fun and sustainable—like indulging in pancakes on National Pancake Day.

We're here to encourage a healthy relationship with exercise, nutrition, and relaxation. They're all key parts of the puzzle, and we won't let y'all forget it.

GOALszn is a gamified system of tracking workouts with a team of friends. Today, we're kicking off our Winter/Spring szn with groups hailing from all over North America. Want to learn more? Email Team Captain Evelyn!

CAPTAIN'S CORNER:
WHAT WE'RE LIKING LATELY

*cue the Friends theme song*

Speaking of balance, how much airtime do romantic relationships get vs platonic ones?! Ev and Nikki loved this article on reimagining life with friendship at the center. How do you work to prioritize your non-romantic relationships?

Let's talk about teeth, baby 

Ev is on the fence about Huberman's content, but she has to admit that this episode on oral health had useful information to sink your teeth into … which also brings back memories of a previous newsletter, in which we shared toothpaste recs. Revisit that one here! 

He'll be baaaack 🏋🏼‍♂️

Ev watched Arnold, the documentary series on Netflix about Arnold Schwarzenegger. This man rose to the absolute top in three extremely different industries—four, if you count real estate! This series dives into what it takes to be a champion; try putting it on while at the gym for major inspo. 

The earlier the dinner, the closer to balance 

Nikki was stoked to read that 5 PM is the new 8 PM when it comes to dinner—the earlier, the better! #grandma …In all seriousness, this is likely a shift that came from the pandemic, when people's schedules changed and we all had more space to examine how we want to spend our time. Not a bad thing! 

Extra time to hit the slopes ⛷️

Ron's got an eye on the weather. While the East Coast ski season is winding down, the West Coast is just getting started, with snow coming down like crazy in California and Utah. For all the skiers and snowboarders, looks like you’ll get a couple more months of riding—we look forward to seeing your pics in the GOALszn channels! 

Gwyneth ain't the only one getting in ski brawls 

While conditions might be great for hitting the slopes, be careful where you end up. A 41-year old snowboarder had a shotgun pulled on him for “trespassing.” (For those of you who aren’t familiar with skiing/snowboarding, sometimes you go off trail, whether intentional or accidental). Safe to say riders should try and adhere to the rules to avoid extreme situations like these!
