Ahhh a New Year, a fresh start! If you’re making a New Year’s Resolution, despite all those friends of yours who say they don’t do it, you’re not alone! According to the Journal of Clinical Psychology, 45% of Americans make a New Year’s Resolution.

The good news: those who explicitly make resolutions are 10 times more like to attain their goals than those who don’t explicitly make resolutions. The bad news, only 8-10% are successful in achieving those resolutions.

Don’t let this news defeat you though! You can definitely be a part of that successful 10%, especially as a Rock Creek Sports Club member — we already know you know how to make a commitment!

So get out your paper and pen, and let’s break down.

Cough, sniff sniff, cough. It’s that time of year again — flu and cold season are upon us.

Here’s a few easy ways to avoid getting sick and being a courteous gym member!

Today’s tips come from Rock Creek Sports Club Personal Trainer and Certified Health Coach Jean Simons! Thank you Jean!
