Stop starting over every January.
Build the foundation for your strongest year yet.
New Year, New Strength
Forget resolutions that fizzle out by February.
January. You know the drill: everyone’s pumped about goals, gym memberships spike, meal prep is trending… and by mid-February? Crickets.
What if 2026 was different?
Not because you found some magic program or biohacked your way to perfection. But because you finally built the foundation of the boring, unsexy habits that actually make everything else possible.
New Year, New Strength gives you 8 weeks to do exactly that.
“I’m doing the program with Coach Mack now, and loving it! I wasn’t sure if 30 min a day would have an impact but I saw results in the first week!“
– Amanda T.
Let’s be honest: you’ve done the New Year thing before.
The big goals. The ambitious plans. The ‘this is my year’ energy that feels electric in January… and completely dead by Valentine’s Day.
It’s not because you’re lazy or unmotivated. It’s because motivation isn’t a strategy. And most New Year programs treat January 1st like it’s some magical reset button that makes everything different.
Spoiler: it’s not.
New Year, New Strength is different. We’re not banking on motivation. We’re building habits. The boring, unsexy, actually-work-when-life-gets-messy kind.
No crash diets. No workout plans that require you to rearrange your entire life. No guilt when you don’t execute perfectly.
Just 8 weeks of creating routines that fit your real life. So when everyone else is saying ‘I’ll start again Monday,’ you’re already weeks into habits that actually stick.
“Coach Mack stood out because she is clearly very knowledgeable, and has a wonderful compassion and understanding for all of my reasons why working out is hard in my current season of life.”
– Angela M.
Why New Year, New Strength, and why now?
Because everyone else is about to quit.
In January everyone starts strong. The gym is packed. Meal prep is trending. Goal-setting is everywhere. And for about three weeks, it feels like the whole world is doing the thing.
Then February hits. Motivation fades. Life gets busy. And slowly, everyone stops.
That’s exactly why now is the perfect time to join New Year, New Strength.
While everyone else is relying on motivation (which always runs out), you’ll be building the foundation that works even when you don’t feel like it.
By the time they’re making excuses, you’ll have 8 weeks of solid habits under your belt. Habits that don’t require perfection. Habits that don’t fall apart when life gets messy. Habits that actually stick.
Here’s how it works:
-
30-minute daily workouts you can actually stick to (no gym needed)
-
Bi-weekly coaching calls to keep you accountable and on track
-
A group of women who get the struggle and won’t let you quit on yourself
This isn’t about New Year motivation. It’s about New Year foundation-building. And by spring? You’ll be glad you started now.
“I’m totally noticing changes.. I feel stronger, and my jeans are fitting better! Also, I love these workouts, the variety and taking the decision making out of what I should do each day has been AWESOME.”
– Mary H.
Nice to Meet You!
Hey there, I’m Coach Mack, founder of Running with Bacon, where I believe getting and staying healthy should be FUN!!
I coached strength and conditioning for Division 1 collegiate athletes for five years and realized that the same fun aspect of sports is what was missing from maintaining a healthy, everyday life.
Plus with an exercise science undergraduate degree and health promotion masters degree, I’ve got the formal science background to bring it full circle.
And if you haven’t noticed, I’ve got a thing for Reese’s so you’re in good company. Oh, and if you thrive on Real Housewives drama, you’re in the right place!
During New Year, New Strength you’ll …
🥓 Build the foundation for your strongest year with habits that actually stick past February
🥓 Get results in just 30 minutes a day, no gym, no overwhelming schedules
🥓 Ditch the guilt cycle with food and exercise, no more punishing workouts or regret spirals
🥓 Create routines that make health feel automatic, even when life gets messy
🥓 End the “I’ll start Monday” loop forever
🥓 Connect with a group of women who get it (and maybe become lifelong friends)
What’s Included
Unfortunately, *bacon is NOT included* in the program … shipping it is a logistical nightmare, I tell ya!
But here’s what IS included in New Year, New Strength beginning January 5th:
WORKOUTS
Save the time and stress of figuring out your workout plan as you receive a week-by-week workout plan (30min per day) that can be done from the comfort of your home with no equipment needed (but dumbbells are recommended).
WEEKLY COACHING
An hour-long coaching session every other week via Zoom to keep you on track and to remind you that you’re not in this alone.
Share your progress for the week, ask questions, troubleshoot issues, and get coached on topics like recovery, nutrition, healthy habit building and more.
Recordings of the calls will be made available in the program portal.
Program Portal
When you join, you’ll get access to your private program portal, your single stop shop for success. Inside you’ll find:
-
Short, easy-to-digest lessons (~5-20 minutes) covering coaching topics
-
Daily workouts organized by week
-
Recordings of every group coaching call
-
All the resources you need, organized and ready when you are
No more scrambling for links or wondering what’s next! Everything you need to stay on track lives right here.
ACCESS TO PRIVATE GROUP CHAT
No noisy Facebook groups here! Instead, you’ll be part of a private group chat with women just like you. It’s a space to check in, celebrate wins, and stay on track without the social media distractions.
You’ll give and get support, motivation, and accountability and not just from me as your coach, but from the women walking the same path. With accountability boosting your chances of success by 65%, this chat becomes one of the most powerful parts of the program.
HEALTH COACHING ON DEMAND
When you join, you get me (Coach Mack) in your back pocket. Stuck on a workout? Need a quick recipe swap? Feeling impatient with your progress?
Shoot me a message and I’ve got you. Simple as that.
Questions You May Have
What's the time commitment?
I get it, your schedule already feels packed. This program was built with that in mind:
-
Workouts: just 30 minutes a day
-
Coaching calls: one hour, every other week
-
Resources: all saved in the program portal so you can watch, learn, and catch replays on your own time
One past participant even said her time management improved because of the program. You’ll spend less time stressing about health and more time actually living it.
What’s the program schedule?
We kick off Monday January 5 and run through Saturday February 28.
We’ll meet for coaching calls every other Tuesday at 10am EST, starting January 6. Can’t make it to one of the calls? No worries, the recordings will be waiting for you in the program portal so you can catch up anytime.
What type of workouts am I getting myself into?
You’ll get a mix of workouts to keep things fresh and fun: HIIT, Tabata, strength training, yoga, Pilates, and recovery-based sessions.
Most workouts use just your bodyweight, though a pair of dumbbells is recommended to get the best results.
I haven’t worked out in years, will this be too much for me?
Not at all. If you’re ready to get back into it, I’ve got your back! The program is designed to ease you in, with recovery days built right into the plan and workouts that progress as you do.
It’s not meant for someone who’s never exercised before, but if it’s just been a while, you’ll find your groove quickly. Most women say that after the first couple of weeks, they feel stronger, more energized, and wondering why they didn’t start sooner.
Will there be a meal plan?
Nope! and that’s on purpose. The program was designed with your real life in mind, and there’s no way a cookie-cutter meal plan could fit into that.
Instead of handing you a one-size-fits-none meal plan, I’ll teach you the skills to eat in a way that makes your body feel good, supports your energy, and aligns with your goals. That way, you’ll walk away knowing how to fuel yourself for the long run, not just follow a list for a few weeks.
Is this program for me?
If you’re over trying diet after diet and workout plan after workout plan with nothing to show for it then yes, this is for you.
The program isn’t another restrictive meal plan or culty workout craze (looking at you, CrossFit). It’s about building real-life habits that actually work for the season of life you’re in now.
You’ve changed, your body has changed, and your approach needs to change too. If you’re done chasing fads and ready for something sustainable, then you’re in the right place.
Am I guaranteed to lose weight?
I’d love to promise you a magic number on the scale, but that’s not how real, lasting health works. I can’t guarantee a specific number of pounds lost, muscle gained, or body fat percentage.
What I can guarantee is this: if you put in the effort, you’ll finish these 8 weeks feeling stronger, more confident, and better about your health than you have in a long time. And those results go far beyond the scale.
See you on the inside!
I know how hard it is to stick with a plan, especially when everyone else is making it look easy in January but completely falling off by February.
But that’s exactly why now is the perfect time. Don’t wait until March to wish you’d started. Don’t let 2026 be another year of “I’ll get serious next week.”
Imagine walking into spring already feeling stronger, more confident, and in control while everyone else is dreading swimsuit season.
New Year, New Strength can be the difference between staying frustrated or finally being proud of the foundation you’ve built.
Don’t spend another second wishing it could be different. It can be. Join New Year, New Strength today and start building habits that actually stick.
2026 is waiting. Let’s make it your strongest year yet.
