When it comes to fitness, most people don't fail because they lack information — they fail because they don't follow through.

In this episode of the C.L.A.R.A. series, Andrew Jackson and Niki Sims break down why accountability for strength training is the real foundation of long-term success. They explore how self-trust, integrity, and consistency determine whether training becomes a lifelong habit or another thing you start and stop.

You'll hear why accountability isn't just about having someone watch you, but about becoming the kind of person who does what they say they'll do — even when life gets chaotic. Andrew also explains how accountability connects to trust, identity, and why being consistent now protects your future self.

This episode shows how to stay committed to strength training without being rigid, why flexibility doesn't mean failure, and how coaching helps filter out what actually matters so you can stay consistent for decades.
