Before the Goals: Start With Your Values with Our San Jose Personal Trainers

A couple of days ago, Our san Jose personal trainers asked you to choose a word or phrase to set your tone for 2026.

Today, we’re going a little deeper.

Because despite the best intentions, most people don’t follow through on their goals.

And based on what our San Jose fitness coaches have experienced, here’s the real reason why:
They didn’t build their goals on a foundation.

To survive the chaos of daily life, your foundation needs a strong base of values!

Your values are what keep you anchored when life throws curveballs (as life ALWAYS does). 

Here’s what we mean:

If one of your values is strong relationships, then maybe your workouts become about keeping up with your kids or grandkids.

If your value is personal growth, maybe you give yourself a new challenge every month that moves you out of your comfort zone.

If your value is health, you’ll naturally choose routines, foods, and support systems that help you feel energized and resilient.

Quick homework:

What are 3 of your core values for 2026?

➡️Write them down.
➡️Then ask yourself: Does my goal align with these values? Or pull me away from them?

When you build your year on values, your habits, routines, and goals start to flow more naturally.

You don’t have to constantly work on being motivated because your actions already match who you are.

We’re excited to see what you create for yourself this year!

As for our San Jose Trainer’s values (we’ve got to walk the walk!), here are 3 of ours: connection, community, and health.
