In this episode of Savagely Scaled, Joyce and Blake dig deep into one of the most important parts of any fitness journey: setting goals. Whether it’s your first day in CrossFit, hitting a long-term PR, or simply keeping your house clean, we break down what it really means to create goals that stick.

• Why goals matter: Without them, you’re just wandering through life.

• Dreams vs. goals vs. expectations: Understanding the difference and avoiding frustration.

• ADHD hyper-fixation & burnout: How chasing goals too hard can backfire.

• Breaking goals down: From big, overwhelming tasks into smaller, measurable steps.

• Fitness examples:

  • From ring rows ➝ banded pull-ups ➝ strict pull-ups.

  • Building toward double unders and big lifting numbers.

  • The role of mobility in hitting milestones.

• Adjusting for injuries: How setbacks like shoulder or back injuries force goal re-alignment.

• Accountability: Training partners, coaches, and community support that keep goals alive.

• Consistency over perfection: Why small daily wins add up more than flawless execution.

• Goals should be measurable, attainable, realistic, and flexible.

• Reassess often — goals shift with life, injuries, and priorities.

• Consistency beats perfection: one bad day ≠ a bad week.

• Training partners and accountability are the glue that keeps goals alive.

• Special love to gym partners at Kingman CrossFit and other gyms.

• Big thanks to Blayne from Ten27 CrossFit for the support and recognition 💜.

• Have you crushed a goal lately? Hit a PR? Overcame an injury?
