Merry Christmas from ARC Fitness
Christmas can bring joy, connection, and celebration, but it can also bring stress, memories, and moments that feel heavier than usual. If today feels mixed, that’s normal.
Your recovery matters, and the small choices you make today still count.
Whether you’re spending the day with family or keeping things quiet, take things one moment at a time. Protect your peace. Keep your boundaries. Do what you need to stay steady.
From all of us at ARC, wishing you a calm, safe, and meaningful Christmas.

You CAN do HARD things.
Dig deep, keep the head up and the chest out!
