Episode Title: Why New Years Resolutions Fail (And How to Actually Stick With It)

Publish Date: 12/31/25

Hosted by: Jenn Schofield + Jodi Ross

Brand: Danz Insanity Studios

Episode Summary

It’s officially that time of year: the studio is packed, the new leggings are out, and the January motivation is LOUD. But Jenn and Jodi are here with the honest truth—by Valentine’s Day, a lot of those cute new outfits are crying in a laundry basket and “motivation” has left the building.

In this episode, they break down why workout resolutions fail for most people (no shame—just real talk) and how to build something that actually lasts. They share the inside scoop on navigating busy January classes (book ahead, show up early, and be nice to the newbies), why the all-or-nothing mindset burns people out, and how to stop relying on “feeling like it” and start building a non-negotiable habit.

Plus: Jenn’s origin story (from overwhelmed mom to dance fitness obsession), the real secret behind people who stick with fitness long-term, and why the best plan might be… finding a buddy and making it fun.
