Heyo!

It’s been a minute, but we’re back with a reminder (or first notice for newbs!) — GOALszn is always in style.

Quick recap: GOALszn is a game to track workouts with a team of friends. Today, we're kicking off our Fall/Winter “szn” with groups hailing from all over North America.

(PS: Want to learn more or apply to be a captain? Email Team Captain Evelyn!)

This bi-monthly newsletter aims to keep fitness fresh. It’s produced with love by GOALszn captains Nikki and Ev — two “fitness enthusiasts” who believe that community is a huge part of wellness.

Every other week, we’ll be serving up:

1. Crowdsourced wellness insights and convos 𖠋𖠋

2. Amusing fitness challenges 💪🏻

3. The occasional spicy goss ☕︎

This SZN runs Sept 22 - Dec 22. Follow along as teams across the country track workouts, keep each other motivated, and crush challenges–TOGETHER.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER: SUMMER TAKEAWAYS & FALLING FORWARD (sorry, had to)

🚰 Ev has to admit that electrolytes work. After an injury and severe heat waves, she gave them a go, despite her skepticism of most supplements and wellness products.

Now, she’s never going back. Her faves are Drip Drop and LMNT (which Nikki gave out in her wedding guest goodie bag!)This list from The Strategist also has some options to try.

🌅 We’ve been sharing top summer moments in the groups over the weekend. These include: lots of Hawaii moments (members Yin + Ron got married there in August!), mountain getaways, new births, new homes, and just enjoying time with loved ones. What’s your fave summer memory?!

❤️ This article, 20 Years Searching for Workouts Taught Me These 10 Things, got Ev reflecting on the very heart of GOALszn.

The article mirrors the core values that have emerged from this community over the last 11 (!!) szns:

1. Movement Matters

2. Fun Accountability

3. Maintain Balance

4. Connect with Community

5. Explore Novelty

With this in mind, our goal for the fall szn is to leave a lasting positive impact in various ways. While traditional fitness metrics like pace, distance, VO2 Max, calories burned, training load, and heart rate zones can be important, our “KPIs” are also things like:

1. New friendships (or deepening existing relationships)

2. Novelty, or trying new things

3. Inspiration to stay consistent

4. Finding the joy!

Together, let’s make this season one filled with growth, connection, and shared experiences that truly embody the spirit of GOALszn!
