🎙️ Episode Title: Goals, Growth & Giving Yourself Grace | Life Happens, Savages!

We're back, Savages! 💪🎙️ And this goals episode is a little more emotional, a little more chaotic, and a whole lot more real than we planned!

Blake and Joyce are catching up on their recent goals, fitness progress, and everything life has thrown their way. From preparing for HYROX in December and improving running endurance to building stronger toes-to-bar skills, dialing in nutrition, and celebrating the little wins, we're talking about what it really takes to keep showing up.

But here's the thing: life doesn't always follow your game plan. ❤️

Blake opens up about navigating family emergencies, the mental exhaustion that comes with being there for everyone, and learning that sometimes the goal isn't to do more—it's to take a breath, give yourself grace, and get through the day. Meanwhile, Joyce shares her progress with running, nutrition, and gymnastics skills while learning not to be so hard on herself when progress feels slow.

We're also talking about stacking monthly goals, building habits one step at a time, leaning on your gym community, and why missing a goal doesn't mean you've failed. Whether you're chasing a new PR, working on your nutrition, trying to get more steps in, or simply doing your best to keep your head above water, this episode is your reminder that progress isn't always pretty—and that's okay!

🔥 In this episode, we're talking about:

• Our latest fitness goals and progress check-ins

• Training for HYROX and improving running endurance

• Nutrition, protein goals, and finding balance

• Building toes-to-bar skills one rep at a time

• Stacking monthly goals without overwhelming yourself

• Family stress, mental exhaustion, and learning to ask for help

• Weightlifting competitions, future goals, and learning to embrace failure

• Why celebrating the small wins matters more than you think

So, Savages, what's your goal right now? Are you a one-goal-at-a-time person, or do you like stacking those goals up? And if life has thrown your plans completely off track, remember: you can always start again tomorrow.

🚨 COURT IS NOW IN SESSION! 🚨

We’re kicking off a brand-new Savagely Scaled segment: Savagely Scaled Takes You to Court! 👩‍⚖️⚖️

And for our first case, we’re putting one of the most awkward, relatable, and sometimes unavoidable gym situations on trial…

🍑 CAMEL TOE & MOOSE KNUCKLE!

Blake and Joyce are joined by four special guests — Terri, Jen, Ginger, and Mimi — to get their honest opinions, stories, and verdicts on gym wardrobe malfunctions.

We’re talking about everything from leggings and seams to underwear choices, body confidence, see-through clothing, and that dreaded moment when you realize your workout clothes may be showing a little more than you intended. 😳

But this episode isn’t just about making jokes. We’re also talking about the awkward side of fitness, body confidence, and whether your gym bestie has an obligation to tell you when something… isn’t quite right. 😂

• The Camel Toe & Moose Knuckle debate 🍑

• Should your gym bestie tell you if something is showing?

• When workout clothes betray you 😩

• Leggings, seams, gussets & underwear

• Fitness clothing fails

• Body confidence and gym insecurities

• Would YOU want someone to tell you?

• Our special guests give their honest opinions

• Fitness brands that have made us say, “Seriously?!”

• And, of course… the final verdict! ⚖️

This is the first episode of Savagely Scaled Takes You to Court, and we want YOU involved!

Until we meet at the White Board again! 🏋️‍♀️💥

September is here, which means it’s time for another Savagely Scaled goal check-in! This month, Blake and Joyce are setting goals that go beyond just lifting heavier or chasing PRs. They’re working on the little things that can make a BIG difference.

For Blake, September is all about getting more steps, getting outside, and managing anxiety — with a little help from her crazy dog! 🐕😂 Instead of simply saying “I need to walk more,” she’s challenging herself to make movement more fun by finding an activity she actually enjoys. And because apparently walking the dog isn’t already an adventure, she’s also working on helping both herself AND her four-legged chaos machine stay a little calmer.

Joyce is taking a different approach this month: learning to recognize her wins. Sometimes we accomplish way more than we give ourselves credit for, but we’re so focused on what we didn’t do that we completely overlook what we DID accomplish. Joyce is working on being less critical of herself, celebrating the progress, and giving herself some well-deserved high fives! 🙌

And then there’s the September training goal: EMOMs!

Joyce is bringing more EMOMs into her month to specifically attack her weaknesses, build consistency, and become more comfortable with movements that don’t always come naturally. Because sometimes the best way to improve something is to stop avoiding it and put in the work — one minute at a time.

This episode is a reminder that goals don't always have to be about a bigger lift, a faster time, or a new PR. Sometimes the biggest wins are:

🐾 Taking more steps
🧠 Working on your anxiety
❤️ Giving yourself some grace
🙌 Recognizing the wins you normally overlook
🏋️‍♀️ Working on your weaknesses
⏱️ Showing up for another EMOM
😂 Finding ways to make fitness fun

Blake and Joyce are getting real about what they want to improve, where they tend to be too hard on themselves, and how they’re going to keep each other accountable throughout September.

So grab your coffee, lace up your shoes, and get ready to set some goals, celebrate some wins, and maybe give yourself a damn high five.

Because progress doesn't always look like a PR.

Sometimes… progress looks like taking the dog for a walk without losing your mind. 😂

Savagely Scaled — where we’re still figuring it out, one rep, one step, and one questionable decision at a time.
