A Supportive Community Makes the Difference: How DeTar Health & Fitness Center Helps Members Stick to Their New Year’s Resolutions

12/30/2025

Starting a new fitness routine is one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions — and one of the hardest to maintain. While motivation may be high in January, many people struggle to stay consistent as schedules fill up and initial excitement fades. DeTar Health & Fitness Center is reminding Crossroads residents that accountability, encouragement, and a supportive community can make all the difference when it comes to actually showing up and reaching fitness goals.

At DeTar Health & Fitness Center, members are more than just faces in the crowd. The facility is designed to foster a welcoming, judgment-free environment where individuals of all fitness levels feel supported throughout their wellness journey.

“Accountability is one of the most important factors in long-term fitness success,” Stephanie Schuckenbrock, Director of DeTar Health & Fitness Center, said. “When members feel connected — whether that’s through group classes, familiar staff, or fellow members who notice when you’re not there — it creates motivation that goes beyond willpower.”

The supportive atmosphere also makes it easier for members to try new classes or exercises they may not otherwise attempt on their own. Certified instructors and fitness staff are available to provide guidance, modifications, and encouragement, helping members build confidence while exercising safely.

“Trying something new can be intimidating, especially for people who are just starting out,” Schuckenbrock said. “Our goal is to create a space where members feel comfortable exploring new workouts, learning proper technique, and finding activities they actually enjoy — all in a safe and supportive environment.”

Group fitness classes and guided workouts also offer built-in accountability. Knowing an instructor or classmates expect you to show up can help turn occasional workouts into a consistent routine and make fitness feel more social and enjoyable.

In addition to its community-focused approach, DeTar Health & Fitness Center offers a variety of equipment, group classes, and wellness programming designed to meet members where they are — whether they are new to exercise, returning after time away, or looking to change up their routine.

As the new year continues, DeTar Health & Fitness Center encourages residents to focus on progress over perfection and to rely on the power of community, accountability, and safe guidance to keep their fitness resolutions on track.
