The Reason You Don’t Show Up At The Gym

As a long time club owner, I have had the chance to see members come and go with varying results and levels of dedication. Many members struggle to stick with it and end up paying for monthly memberships, which are never used or canceling. Here are some practical ideas, which we notice with our regulars, who get results!

They workout at the same time every day.

They pre-book this time, so it can’t be replaced by another personal or work meeting. It is in their calendar, so when they look for a meeting time, they see that time is already taken and do not book something else.

They don’t go crazy

Our consistent members don’t feel that they need to blow the doors off the place with really hard workouts. They just show up at a set time and do what they feel like doing. Sometimes they push hard sometimes they don’t. (EG-They just got a promotion at work, so they ride the positive wave and do an extra 20-minutes of cardio)
Inconsistent members tend to build up a really tough workout in their head prior to getting to the gym, which usually is followed by talking themselves out of even showing up.
Solution: Just book your time, change and be at the fitness gym.

Diet

Consistent members, change their diet. Workouts can be quickly and easily ruined with one bad food choice. A high calorie muffin per day or a specialty coffee with whipped cream and chocolate can set you back. This will end with you not seeing results and deciding not to continue.

You picked the wrong gym

There is plenty of thought that goes into the types of equipment or classes gyms have. There is also a consideration regarding location. The key element, which will stop you from showing up, is the type of people at your gym. Gyms used to be called health clubs or fitness centers, with the key word being “club”. Gyms are still clubs and these clubs attract certain demographics.

As an example, if you are middle-aged senior executive, you may not feel comfortable at a gym with young muscle bound kids, who are into power weight lifting. Their social interaction and behavior might be annoying or demotivating. (Even if you don’t socialize at the gym, the environment will be a turn off)

Try to find a gym or club, which suits your personality and social expectations.
