The great lock in 2025

Sept 1 - Dec 31 are going to pass by anyways, so might as well feel my best. This challenge allows everyone to choose their own goals: career growth, fitness, emotional wellness, finances, creativity, mindset… you name it.

I like that it’s not too rigid. I also wanted to bypass the traditional “New Year, new me” mindset and unlock meaningful change now.

Hi 👋 I’m TJ the “lean queen”👑 and I help busy people stay LEAN & CONSISTENT …. in the easiest & simplest ways possible! (for good)

... Read moreThe Great Lock In 2025 offers a fresh and adaptable approach to personal development, inviting participants to tailor their challenge goals across multiple aspects of life such as career, fitness, emotional health, finances, creativity, and mindset. Unlike traditional New Year's resolutions that often come with rigid expectations and fade quickly, this challenge encourages meaningful and lasting transformation over the four-month period from September 1 to December 31. This flexible challenge is ideal for busy individuals, particularly those balancing multiple roles—like the busy moms referenced as being in their "lean queen" era—who want to stay lean and consistent in a sustainable way. By focusing on maintaining momentum well before the new year, participants can bypass the high-pressure mindset of “New Year, new me” and instead commit to gradual, personalized improvements. Participants can expect community support through hashtags like #thegreatlock and #thegreatlockinrules, fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose. Beyond physical wellness, the challenge highlights emotional and financial goals, creativity, and mindset shifts, making it a holistic approach worth exploring. TJ, the challenge founder, offers simple, effective strategies that resonate with busy lifestyles while promoting consistency without burnout. For anyone seeking to feel their best by the end of the year, The Great Lock In 2025 is a practical opportunity to unlock meaningful change, develop healthy habits, and grow across multiple life domains. The inclusive nature of choosing personal goals ensures that everyone can participate, regardless of where they are on their self-improvement journey. Embracing this adaptable challenge can inspire authentic, lasting progress rather than short-lived resolutions.

You set the goal. ✔️My lock in list is at the end You had the reason. You already did the prep. So why are you still acting like you’ve got time to waste? The year is almost done. Not “wrapping up soon.” Not “there’s still time.” Done. Lock in. Not for motivation.
