What are your short or long term fitness goals?
Mine are mostly strength related
Pull 5 plates or 500 lbs really , squat 4, bench 3
I am within 50 lbs of each now

I'm 28 now so strength gives me no benefit. Strictly physique with strength as a side effect

I honestly do not have a goal anymore. I just want to enjoy my time in the gym.
I spent the majority of 12 years killing myself in the gym for powerlifting and strongman competitions.
Now, I'm ok not banging reps with crazy weight or eating to the point of being sick.
I just go do movements I enjoy with a decent weight and have fun.

General fitness and having a nice physique. I'm a naturally thin person so I'll never be a meat head.

Goal 1: Get into the 1,000lbs club
Goal 2: Get comfortable by getting down to a lean 205.
Goal 3: Become flexible enough that I don't have to use 10lb plates under my heels for squats.
I got down to 208 then blew back up to 220 after accepting carbs back into my life.

3. Break 1300 total in powerlifting
4. Maintain no higher than 15% BF in the offseason

I'm 40 and feel like training smarter in my late 30s allowed me to play as well as I ever have in sports (primary focus being basketball). Short term goals are to recover from a minor calf strain (which I've heard can linger) and play my best in our bball playoffs coming up in a few weeks. The best couple of teams have some guys much younger and athletic (big dunks in games) so it takes my absolute best just to compete.
Longer term goals are to stay healthy enough to play as many sports as I can into my 40s/50s/60s, such as tennis, volleyball, basketball (if possible), being able to sprint, etc. It's always a challenge with finding the balance between letting injuries heal but wanting to continue playing sports. Also need to focus on Achilles and ankle strength/flexibility after this injury recovers.

I am naturally strong, but I really don't care about that. I am trying to look the best I can. I clean and jerk around 255-265, so I'm not weak or anything like that.
I'm currently about 215-218lbs, and I am 6'2. I am looking to get to around 200 or so. I was 210 last summer and looked pretty ripped up. 200 would likely be perfect for me.
Other goals:
2k row in under 6:50 and keep getting better at rowing. Running a mile in under 6:45 would be nice as well, that is my best time.

To look my best for my tinder profile

I want to lose 20-25 lbs.
The same medical condition I have that impacts my fertility (PCOS) also is well known to make women have an even more difficult time losing weight, especially as they get older. It's fricking frustrating. I can work out 6 days a week and stay at 1200 calories a day(I'm 5'9)...and in 2 weeks time maybe lose a pound. My hormones basically work against me.

I have tendinitis in my shoulder, so I've given up on strength goals.
I guess my goals right now are:
- Shed 25 pounds (currently 175 and want to be 150)
- Be able to do all and hold all yoga poses in my yoga class without the use of blocks or modifications
- Improve my running from 2 miles/run to 4-5 miles/run
- Continue doing squats and shoulder mobility exercises in the gym on a regular basis

Short term: Complete a 5k
Long term: Complete the Louisville Triple Crown (Anthem 5k, Rodes City Run 10k, Papa Johns 10 Miler)
Obviously there's the potential weight loss that comes with training for all of that. Mostly for me it's just getting healthy again in general. I've been slacking something awful and hate the lack of energy. I've also found I do a better job sticking with when I'm doing something like training for X.
