Xceleration Fitness: 2024 Year in Review

2024 Year in Review

As we close out 2024, we’re filled with gratitude for the incredible journey our community has shared. This past year has been nothing short of transformative for Xceleration Fitness, marked by innovation, growth, and community impact. Together, we’ve celebrated milestones, embraced challenges, and strengthened the bond that makes our gym more than just a place to work out—it’s a home for growth, resilience, and support.

From the launch of our new workout-tracking app to completing the first phase of our facility upgrades, our commitment to providing a world-class fitness experience has never been stronger. Every workout logged, goal achieved, and friendship formed reflects the power of what we can accomplish as a community.

This "Year in Review" celebrates the achievements of our members, the dedication of our team, and the shared vision that drives us forward. Here’s a look back at 2024 and a glimpse at the exciting future we’re building together.

Elevating the Member Experience

Since 2023, we’ve continued to introduce exciting updates to our facility to enhance your fitness journey at Xceleration Fitness. These improvements were designed to make your workouts more effective, enjoyable, and personalized. Here’s what we’ve accomplished this year:

  • Launch of the Xceleration Fitness App:
    Released in late October, our new app has already started transforming the way members track their fitness journeys. With features like workout metrics (weights, calories burned, rounds, and reps), it’s easier than ever to see your progress. Looking ahead to 2025, we’re working to make recording your workouts simpler and more intuitive, so you can focus on hitting personal records and getting excited about your next challenge!
  • DEXA Body Composition Scan:
    In April, we introduced the DEXA scan to its fullest capabilities, giving members unparalleled insights into their body composition. The results and personalization this state of the art machine provides has been instrumental in helping our members really focus on the important areas, meaning that they are actually going to see measurable results.
  • Massage Therapy Services:
    Quicken Massage, lead by Jordan Quick finally joined the facility full time this last year, offering professional recovery, prevention and massage services to help members feel and perform their best. Check him out today, it may truly change your life!

Monthly Challenges

This year was packed with monthly challenges, brainstormed up by our coaches with the main goal to keep you engaged, motivated, and having fun. Here are just a few from this last year:

  • Final Reckoning Challenge (January): Our 2nd Annual kickoff challenge brought members together for fun mini-challenges and prizes.
  • Heart Month (February): Members tracked their "heart workouts," with prizes like Heart Rate monitors, Xceleration branded cups, and more raffled for those who kept their momentum strong. 
  • MyZone Madness: Teams brought the energy as they competed head-to-head to rack up the most MEPs. Team Kim Piccoine faced fierce challengers this year, making for an unforgettable competition.
  • 3rd Annual Xcel Showdown: The largest turnout yet with 10 teams competing! This event is quickly becoming a favorite—what surprises will 2025 bring? Can anyone unseat the Pauperts or will they top the podium again?
  • Ladies Month (Fall): A celebration of the amazing women of Xcel, with fun, goal-oriented challenges and participation from nearly half our women members.

We always look forward to putting these on, as they truly showcase the heart and spirit of our community, turning each month into a nice opportunity to come together, challenge yourself to push the limits, and celebrate together!

Looking Ahead to 2025
