Goal Reviews: Your progress matters

A man is pointing at the word time for review

We talk about #Goals a lot at Prototype. We actually talk A LOT about them because they’re the reason why you walked in the door in the first place. Am I right?!

So from the first time you have a conversation with us in your No Sweat Intro session (NSI) , we guide you on sorting through what’s important and we prescribe the best course of action to get you there.

But what happens after that NSI?

A few things can happen…

1.) You may be struggling with accountability.

2.) Your goals have changed because your priorities have changed.

3.) You accomplished what you wanted to do and are now struggling to figure out what’s next.

Regardless of the circumstance, at Prototype, it’s important that we are having frequent conversations with you about your goals.

We call these Goal Review sessions (GRS for short).

The GRS is a little bit different than the NSI. Think of the NSI as creating the roadmap to success. The GRS is a check-in to make sure you’re still on the road.

Imagine this…

You own a business and you set performance goals for the new year.  You are fired up! You truly believe that you are going to have a great year and so does your team.

But as the new year progresses, you never look at your key performance metrics, you never look back at the goals you wrote down and you didn’t review the plan frequently enough.

Doesn’t sound like a good strategy for success, does it?

The analogy is the same for the goals that you set for yourself.

But remember goals change, it’s ok if you start to prioritize other things that you find are more important to you.

For example, at the beginning of the year, you set a goal of running a half marathon. You start your training and all is well. Then you start a new fitness program that your friend tells you about. She says “you’re going to love it!”. You give it a try and all of a sudden you fall in love with weightlifting! Awesome!

You realize that you love it SO much and that you are doing things you never imagined you could do, so you put the half marathon on the back burner.

No big deal. Your priorities changed AND you found something you love That’s ok!. BUT, what’s your plan now?

You need a check-in and you need to leverage your key resources to help you.

One of the biggest things we tell people is that YOU ARE NOT IN THIS ALONE! We are here to help and we are here to be your guides. We want to be your Yoda to your Anikin Skywalker!

So here’s the plan…

I included our link below. If you’re reading this and you haven’t pulled the trigger to have a Goal Review Session with us, trust me, it’s worth it.

Let us help you. Your progress matters.

Sharang is a standout part of the Prototype community—steady, positive, and always putting in the work—and his commitment to consistency, camaraderie, and long-term progress makes him a perfect example of what PTS is all about. Below he answers some questions and shares his experience. Share your experience at Prototype—favorite memories, moments, or stories or what’s your favorite part/what do you look forward to? What stands out most about Prototype is the camaraderie. The members, especially in the 7AM and Noon classes, create a great balance of fun and focus. Everyone is friendly and supportive, but when it’s time to work, people take the WODs seriously and push themselves to improve. That combination can be hard to find. All the coaches play a huge role in setting that tone. My favorite moments are the everyday ones i.e. showing up, putting in the work together, leaving class feeling accomplished. What I look forward to most is continuing to train alongside people who genuinely enjoy the process and want to get better. “Because summer’s coming.” Who at Prototype has made the biggest impact on you and why? As a dad of two young daughters, the people who’ve made the biggest impact on me at Prototype are the women in the gym. They all train with confidence, strength, consistency and set a powerful example. It’s the kind of environment I hope my daughters grow up seeing where strength is normal and earned. What are your hobbies and activities outside the gym? I dabble a bit in photography, star gazing and love to travel. Playing atrocious golf. How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped me stay active. There’s a real sense of happiness and accomplishment after each workout, and that feeling has become addictive in the best way. Knowing I’ll leave class feeling stronger, physically and mentally, keeps me coming back. Prototype has turned working out from something I should do into something I genuinely want to do, which has made a huge difference in maintaining a sustainable fitness routine. What are your current fitness goals? Steady progress and longevity. If I can keep lifting, moving well, and feeling good years from now, I’ll consider that a win. I hope my future self will thank my present self. Favorite Quote If you can’t explain it simply you don't understand it well enough.
