The Houstonian Club Shares Expert Tips for Keeping 2026 Wellness Resolutions

As January winds down, The Houstonian Club offers expert guidance to help wellness habits stay consistent all year.

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, January 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the first month of 2026 comes to a close, many New Year’s wellness resolutions begin to fade. Motivation that felt strong on January 1 can slip as schedules change and old routines fall back into place. This is a typical pattern, but it does not mean goals are out of reach.

The Houstonian Club, known as one of the nation’s leading fitness and wellness destinations, offers practical guidance to help members stay consistent beyond January. With a fully equipped fitness floor featuring more than 300 pieces of equipment, over 200 weekly group exercise classes, three temperature-controlled resort pools, and extensive racquet sports, including pickleball, The Houstonian Club has long supported evidence-based approaches to healthy habits.

The Houstonian Club's staff of highly trained fitness and wellness professionals offers an evidence-based approach that will help those who want to make wellness a daily part of their routines.

Start With Realistic Goals: Many resolutions fail because goals are set too high, too quickly.
“Focus on building consistency with realistic goals and adjust after the first few weeks. Small changes are more likely to last,” said James Hardy, Houstonian Club Personal Trainer.

“The most successful wellness resolutions are simple and realistic. Prioritizing movement, recovery, and balance creates results that last,” said Hardy Pollard, Houstonian Club Group Exercise Instructor.

Build Habits That Support Consistency: Preparation makes follow-through easier.
“Put on your workout clothes first thing in the morning or lay them out the night before. If you have that mindset, you will be more likely motivated to exercise,” said Colleen Kennedy, Houstonian Club Group Exercise Instructor.

“Health is a daily practice, not a seasonal goal. Consistency turns intention into lifelong wellbeing,” said Aliyeh Mendi, Houstonian Club Pilates Instructor.

Fuel and Hydrate with Intention: Nutrition does not need to be complicated.
“Stick with the basics. Know your calorie needs, stay hydrated, prioritize protein, stay consistent, adjust as your weight changes and results will follow,” said Daniel Oliver, Houstonian Club Personal Trainer.

“Lasting results come from habits, not perfection. Focus on consistent meals, hydration, and planning for busy days. Real progress comes from preparation—not willpower,” said Elayna Nunley, Houstonian Club Registered Dietitian.

Support Mood, Energy, and Recovery: Wellness goes beyond workouts.
“Fifteen minutes of morning sunlight can improve mood, energy, and sleep. A short walk early in the day makes a difference,” said Haley Fountain, Houstonian Club Yoga Instructor.

“Dedicating thirty to sixty minutes of recovery each week helps support all other goals. Recovery modalities, including red light therapy, cryotherapy, compression, and infrared sauna, can be easily incorporated into a weekly wellness regime and will do wonders for your body,” said Taylor Decell, Covery Lead Nurse.

Celebrate Progress and Stay Connected: Progress builds momentum.
“Celebrate all your wins. No matter how small, progress is still progress, so celebrate yourself when you notice positive change,” said Susy Crosser, Houstonian Club Group Exercise and Yoga Instructor.

“You do not have to do it alone. A workout partner adds accountability and can make exercising more enjoyable and engaging. Most importantly, shared workouts turn fitness into quality time, helping healthy habits stick for the long run,” said Patti Plagmann, Houstonian Club Personal Trainer.
