The top of your list Four easy tips for preserving

The top of your list

By Kelli Frazell, Humboldt Fitness director

The holidays are stressful. Don’t get me wrong—this is one of my favorite times of the year. But between obligations with family and friends, the pressure of finding the perfect gift, and a whole lot more sweets and special foods around the table, it can be easy to lose sight of what really matters.

I understand how it happens: in the midst of making sure everyone else is taken care of, you and your health are often last on the list. I hear it all the time: a member will say they’re just too busy to exercise. But this holiday season, I invite you to put you and your health back where they belong: the center of your life.

Humboldt Fitness is a lot of things to a lot of our members. For some, it’s an escape, a chance to disconnect after a day spent managing customers, answering emails, or running from meeting to meeting. For others, Humboldt Fitness is a place of growth, a time for them to challenge themselves to do something they couldn’t before. And for still others, our facility is a place of healing, an opportunity to focus on and repair more than just an injured muscle. Exercise and wellness go much deeper than that.

And that’s why our team loves what we do so much here. For every person who begins their time with us saying they’re too busy for exercise, we see members who gradually begin to feel better about themselves, who become more capable to live like they want to. We know the benefits of exercise: better self-esteem, more energy, improved health outcomes. But it’s different when it’s you or someone you know.

Because, for as many things as we are for members, there are some things we’re not. We’re not about the short-term. We’re not about shedding 10 pounds in 10 days. We’re not the “no pain, no gain” school of fitness.

Humboldt Fitness is here for the long haul. We’re here to help our members make lifestyle changes, to improve their quality of life, to be a place where members can focus on the building block of their lives: their health.

Humboldt Fitness is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week for our members. Our variety of classes, both in person and through our online platforms, offer something for everyone. The half basketball court is a great way to have fun—and get some exercise—with visitors in town. The bright, modern facility is equipped with fully stocked locker rooms, state-of-theart equipment, and a secure entrance along with security cameras.

This holiday season, as things get busy with school concerts, work parties, family gatherings, visits to Santa, last-minute shopping trips to Kansas City, church events and more, breathe. Step back. Even if you only have thirty minutes, even if you just need a place to get away and think, we’re here for you. This time of year—every time of year—is a lot more enjoyable when your health is at the top, and not the bottom, of the list.

We’ll see you here soon, and happy holidays!
