Look Back So You Can Move Forward. Your 2025 Reflection Guide
The end of the year hits different. Life gets loud. Schedules get messy. The holidays try to take over everything. This is the perfect moment to pause and check in with yourself. Not in a stressful way. Not in a “fix yourself by January” way. In the Studio C way. Curious. Kind. Real.
Reflection is a powerful fitness tool because it shows you what worked, what felt good, and what deserves more space in your life. You cannot build goals for 2026 if you never look at what lit you up in 2025.
So before you set another resolution, take a breath and revisit the year through questions that help you learn, grow, and celebrate yourself.
Here is your reflection guide. Grab a notebook or your phone or just read and feel it.
1. What felt good in your body this year
This is about noticing the moments where movement felt like home. The classes that made you smile. The stretches that brought you back to life. The workouts that left you feeling grounded instead of drained.
Action Steps
• Circle three classes that made you feel amazing
• Add at least one of those to your weekly routine in 2026
• Let your goals be guided by what feels good instead of what looks good
2. What surprised you about yourself
Maybe you showed up for early mornings when you swore you were not a morning person. Maybe you danced more freely. Maybe you lifted heavier. Maybe yoga became your anchor. Your surprise moments show you where you grew without even trying.
Action Steps
• Write down two moments that shocked you in a good way
• Celebrate them out loud
• Choose one to expand on in 2026
3. What did you try for the first time
Trying something new is where courage and confidence meet. These moments matter. A new class. A new instructor. A new playlist vibe. A new movement that felt awkward and then amazing.
Action Steps
• List the first timers you took on this year
• Pick one new thing you want to try monthly in 2026
• Invite a friend to join your next brave moment
4. What helped you stay consistent
Was it the squad. The instructor who knows your name. The early morning accountability. The after class laughs. Noticing your mood shift. Whatever kept you moving this year deserves to be recognized and repeated.
Action Steps
• Identify your top two consistency boosters
• Build a 2026 plan that includes them
• Schedule next week’s classes now
5. What do you want more of in 2026
More strength. More joy. More flexibility. More dance. More breath. More peace. More fun. More confidence. More you. This is your north star.
Action Steps
• Write your top three “more of this” intentions
• Turn each into a simple weekly habit
• Share your goals with a coach or friend
6. What are you leaving behind in 2025
Goodbye comparison. Goodbye guilt for missing a day. Goodbye all or nothing thinking. Goodbye “I am not fit enough to be here.” Goodbye perfection.
Action Steps
• Pick one mindset you are releasing
• Replace it with a supportive thought
• Practice it daily for one minute
7. What are you proud of. Really proud of
Own your wins. Every drop of sweat. Every moment you showed up tired. Every time you walked in nervous and walked out glowing. Pride builds momentum and sets the tone for the year ahead.
Action Steps
• Write a gratitude note to your body
• Tell someone what you are proud of
• Carry that energy into your first workout of 2026
