How to Stay on Track During the Holiday Season (Without Missing Out!)

The holidays are a time for family, joy, celebrations… and let’s be honest — a whole lot of food. Between parties, travel, and cooler weather, it’s easy to fall out of routine and slip into habits that lead to seasonal weight gain.


But here’s the good news:
You can enjoy the season, stay on track, and still feel strong, confident, and in control. Brickz Fitness is here to help you do exactly that.


Below are simple, realistic ways to keep your momentum going without feeling restricted or overwhelmed.

1. Keep Your Workout Routine Simple & Consistent

You don’t have to train harder during the holidays — you just have to keep showing up.


At Brickz, you have options for every mood and schedule:

  • Sweat Sessions for high-energy, calorie-burning workouts
  • Brickz Bodiez Strength Training to build lean muscle and boost metabolism
  • Private Training for personalized coaching and accountability
  • Yoga for recovery, mobility, and stress relief

Even two to three workouts per week can make a huge difference in preventing seasonal weight gain. The goal is consistency, not perfection.

2. Stay Hydrated — It’s a Game Changer

Cold weather tricks your thirst receptors, and holiday meals are often loaded with sodium and sugar. Drinking enough water helps:

  • Regulate appetite
  • Reduce bloating
  • Support digestion
  • Improve energy
  • Keep your workouts strong

A simple rule:

Drink half your bodyweight in ounces of water daily. Add a bit more if you're training with us!

3. Prioritize Nutrition — Without Cutting All the Fun

Holiday food is delicious — so let's be realistic, not restrictive.


Here’s the approach we encourage at Brickz:

  • Eat protein first to stay full
  • Add colorful fruits or veggies
  • Enjoy small indulgences without overdoing it
  • Don’t “save calories” by skipping meals — it usually leads to overeating

Balance is the goal. Enjoy the treats while staying mindful.

4. Be Mindful of Portions and Extras

Little decisions make a big difference:

  • Make a plate instead of grazing
  • Drink water between cocktails
  • Pause before going back for seconds
  • Choose one treat instead of all of them

Small habits help avoid a month-long free-for-all.

5. Use Movement as Stress Relief

The holidays can be busy and overwhelming — movement helps you stay grounded.
Our Sweat Sessions, Strength Training, and Yoga aren’t just about staying fit; they help keep your mind clear and your energy up.

6. Lean on Your Brickz Community

Your Brickz Fam is here for you!
Our coaches, programs, and members help you stay accountable through the chaos of the season. If you fall off track, don’t wait until January — jump right back in.

7. One Meal Won’t Make You, One Meal Won’t Break You

Holiday weight gain doesn’t come from one big meal or one holiday party. It comes from letting the entire season slide.
Enjoy your traditions, stay mindful, and keep moving.

Final Thoughts: Give Yourself Grace & Keep Showing Up

The holidays should be joyful, not stressful. With a little intention, you can stay active, stay healthy, and still enjoy everything the season has to offer.


Brickz Fitness is here to support you every step of the way through Sweat Sessions, Strength Training, Private Training, and Yoga. Let’s finish the year strong and step into 2026 even stronger.
