As 2024 comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on what a brilliant year it’s been for our crew. We’ve seen the group grow—not just in numbers but in how they move, think, and tackle challenges. Watching each of them put in the work, hit new milestones, and build connections has been a privilege. It’s not just about the physical progress (although there’s been plenty of that!); it’s about the confidence and resilience they’ve built along the way.
Next year is shaping up to be even better. We’ll be moving into our new facility—an exciting step for all of us. I can’t wait for us to get started and make the most out of our new space.
December Programming: Testing and Progress
December is all about seeing how far we’ve come. This month, our athletes will focus on key strength tests like squats, deadlifts, and presses, along with bodyweight and cardio challenges. Testing isn’t just about numbers—it’s about recognising the hard work they’ve put in and feeling proud of how much they’ve grown. It’s a chance to finish the year on a high and set the tone for what’s next.
End-of-Year Dates
Here’s what to know as we round out the year:
- Last class of 2024: Wednesday, 20th December (Please note, classes on Friday the 13th and Friday the 20th will be moved to 18:30)
- We’re back in action: Wednesday, 8th January 2025
Enjoy the break, but don’t forget to keep moving!
Why Staying Active in Winter Matters
Winter is the perfect time to focus on building strength and fitness. With the weather pushing many activities indoors, it’s a great opportunity to keep teens moving, improving their fitness, and staying sharp mentally. At Activate Youth, we’ve created a space where training is fun, engaging, and tailored to their needs—even on the coldest days.
Consistency now sets them up to hit the ground running when the new year begins
A Festive Season Message
As the end of the year approaches, I want to thank you for letting us be part of your teen’s journey. It’s been great to coach such a motivated and supportive group, and I’m proud of everything they’ve achieved this year.
Enjoy the break—whether it’s filled with festive cheer or some quiet moments to recharge. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone back in January for what’s set to be an incredible 2025.
