3 Ways to Stay Motivated for the Gym

I know we all have the best intentions when we join the gym, we want to get fit and look toned, be healthy and have the cutest activewear but when it comes down to it it can be hard to maintain. Staying committed to the gym is hard, life gets in the way, things come up and sh*t happens to everyone no matter how hard you try and plan and organise things to the t.

1. GRAB A GYM BUDDY 

Grab a friend, drag them into the gym and make plans with each other to go to the gym on regular basis. If you have someone else relying you to be somewhere at a particular time you are more likely not to cancel plans because you don’t want to let them down. Therefore, you both get a good workout and it will be easier to stay committed.

2. MAKE A NEW GYM PLAYLIST

Start a new workout playlist, find some new songs that get you in the workout mood and put them all together. Search through the pre made and other people’s gym playlists on Spotify or go through YouTube workout playlists to find the stuff you like. Try not to listen to it when you’re not in the gym, so if you want to listen to that music you have to go to the gym.

3. GET A PERSONAL TRAINER

I’m not just being biased because I have a trainer myself and I am studying to be one, but they keep you on track. Having an appointment to see them and a plan to work towards your goals will keep you going to the gym. Also having someone you don’t want to let down helps you stay committed to working out.
