Welcome back friends! The holidays are upon us- please join us for this year’s HOLIDAY PARTY! I am asking anyone who wishes to attend to please fill out our form so I know how much food to get. Bring friends and family and anybody else who wants a good time. This is our chance to bring loved ones into the Red Woods community, share the energy and culture that makes Red Woods so special, and connect, laugh, and celebrate together.
With Thanksgiving being this week I thought I would give you all some advice to eat healthy day of- DON’T. It is Thanksgiving. Eat the damn meal like you mean business and move on.
Since it is holiday time- if you ask Mel, I am literally the WORST person to buy gifts for. I really don’t want “things”. In an effort to help people who, unfortunately, love people like me and therefore must buy them something for the holidays, I put together a list and am checking it twice.
Redwoods Fitness Holiday Gift Guide: Give the Gift of Strength, Health & Community
Looking for the perfect gift for the fitness-lover in your life or hoping to drop a hint to someone shopping for you? We believe the best gifts are the ones that help people feel strong, confident, and supported. This year, I put together a holiday gift guide full of simple, meaningful ideas that inspire health and connection all year long. Whether you’re shopping for a seasoned athlete or someone ready to begin their journey, these gifts are guaranteed to spark joy.
1. Group Fitness Gift Cards
Give the gift of motivation, accountability, and fun! Our flexible gift cards make it easy for someone to start strong in the new year.
This is a great option for new members who want to test the waters or current members who’d love some prepaid months as a treat!
2. Personal Training Session
Perfect for anyone who wants one-on-one attention, help mastering form, goal-specific programming, or a confidence boost before joining group classes. A single personal training session can be a game-changing jumpstart.
3. Pre-Order Red Woods Apparel (Hoodies & T-Shirts)
Nothing says “I believe in you” like fresh, cozy Red Woods gear.
This year, you can pre-order our new hoodies and t-shirts- a great stocking stuffer and an even better motivator.
4. Save Your Spot for January
January is always one of our busiest months, and this year we’re offering a special “Save Your Spot” option for new members.
If someone in your life is thinking about joining, this is the ultimate way to secure their place before classes fill up. A fresh start awaits. Let them get through the holidays and then hit it hard with us on a new journey in the new year. A very nice way to guilt your spouse or co-worker who has been “meaning to try us out” into coming and joining in on the fun.
5. Pre-Workout
Ah yes, the tried and true gift…pre-workout caffeine. I will be stocking up on Amino Energy. Perfect stocking stuffer or pairing with some group fitness classes.
6. Legacy Pricing
Finally, consider this your Black Friday, Cyber Monday, super secret door buster deal from us. Tell your friends and family that, for the last time ever, they can lock in our Legacy Pricing before it disappears. This is the real deal folks!
Give a Gift That Makes an Impact
This year, skip the random stocking stuffers and give something that inspires confidence, health, and long-term happiness. Whether it’s a month of Group Fitness or a cozy Red Woods hoodie, these gifts show someone you truly care about their wellbeing.
