Why Most People Quit Their Fitness Goals

This is a question I have been asking myself for many years.

As a fitness professional, I like to ask members who stop coming to their programs why they quit. I get many different answers, but some of the most common ones are:

"I can't afford it anymore."

"I am under too much stress."

"I have family problems."

"I am too busy at work."

"I have some projects I need to finish."

"I am traveling."

"I lost a family member."

These are all real problems. I understand that life can become difficult, and sometimes circumstances require us to change our priorities temporarily.

But after more than 15 years of helping people transform their bodies, I have come to a different conclusion.

These are usually not the real reasons people quit their fitness goals.

I have personally experienced financial difficulties, stress, family problems, busy periods at work, projects, travel, and difficult moments in life.

And I have still continued exercising.

I have also seen people experience devastating injuries, serious health challenges, and major life changes and still find a way to continue working toward their fitness goals.

I am not saying that fitness is more important than everything else in life. It isn't. Family, health emergencies, grief, work, and other responsibilities are real.

What I am saying is that when someone truly wants to change, they usually find a way to continue—even if they need to modify their program temporarily.

So what are the real reasons people quit?

How to Build Discipline in Fitness

Not too long ago, I interviewed Dr. Michael Rubenstein. We talked about pain and different treatments, but toward the end of the interview, I asked him how he stayed disciplined to stay in shape.

He replied that it was all about discipline. Then he thought about it for a moment and corrected himself. He said it was discipline in the beginning, but now it is a habit.

Dr. Rubenstein has a valid point.

Yes, in the beginning, it is all about discipline. You have to make yourself exercise when you don't feel like exercising. You have to make yourself eat healthy when you want to eat something unhealthy. You have to make yourself follow your program when there are a hundred other things you would rather do.

How to Stay Motivated to Work OutThe Secret Isn't More Motivation—It's Finding a Stronger Reason

People ask me all the time, "How do I stay motivated to work out?" To be honest, I'm not sure anyone stays motivated all the time. Life gets busy. Problems show up. Work becomes stressful. The family needs your attention.

Even after more than 25 years of exercising, there are days when I don't feel like working out. So instead of telling you how to stay motivated, I'd rather tell you my story and what I have learned after helping people transform their bodies for more than 15 years.

Why Lifting Weights Won't Make Women Bulky? The Truth About Strength Training for Women

One of the biggest fears I hear from women who are thinking about starting a strength training program is this:

"I don't want to get bulky."

Every time I hear that, I smile because I know exactly where that belief comes from.

Let me explain it this way.

Imagine you wanted a Chihuahua to become as fast as a cheetah or as muscular as a Pit Bull.

Impossible, right?

Progressive Overload Explained for BeginnersWhy Getting Stronger Is the Secret to Building Muscle and Transforming Your Body

Have you ever heard the legend of Milo and the Bull?

The story says that when Milo was a young man, he began carrying a small calf on his shoulders every day. As the calf grew bigger and heavier, Milo continued carrying it. Little by little, his body adapted to the increasing weight until one day he was strong enough to carry a full-grown bull.

Whether the story is completely true or not doesn't really matter. What matters is the lesson behind it.

That is progressive overload.

You start with a weight your body can handle, and as your body adapts, you gradually challenge it with a little more resistance. Over time, you become stronger.

Beginner's Guide to Strength Training

If you are reading this article, I am assuming you are ready to transform your body. You have already gone through the first two stages of behavior change—precontemplation and contemplation—and now you have reached the third stage: preparation.

Preparation is a great place to be.

You are learning. You are open to new ideas. You are gathering information, and you are getting ready to take action, which is the fourth stage of change.

However, you are also in a vulnerable stage. If you receive poor advice or follow the wrong program, you could become discouraged and fall back into contemplation or even give up altogether.

That is why it is so important to learn from reliable sources and follow a plan that has already helped other people succeed.

Whether you decide to do it on your own or hire a personal trainer near me, having the right information from the beginning will save you time, frustration, and unnecessary mistakes.

Here is the guideline I recommend for anyone beginning a strength training journey.

How to Build Lean Muscle with a Personal Trainer

I still remember when I started exercising. I was a skinny 19-year-old who weighed only 130 pounds at 5'7". At that point, I wasn't really motivated to transform my body when I met my mentor, Dave.

Dave was a bodybuilder, and to me he stood apart from everyone else. He had the physique I wanted, the confidence I admired, and the discipline I didn't yet understand.

I asked Dave to train me and he agreed. I told him, "I'll look like you in less than three months." 

He laughed.

Three months later, I knew exactly why. I trained as hard as I could during those first three months, yet I saw very little change. I was frustrated because I thought hard work alone would build muscle quickly.

Can a Personal Trainer Help After 40?

Most of our regular members are over 40 years of age. Every member had a different reason to join us.

For example, one of our members joined us at 42 years old because her cousin died of cancer. That tragedy made her realize how important a healthy lifestyle is.

We have another member who joined us at 67 years old because he was tired of trying to tone his body on his own without seeing real results.

Another member over 40 wanted to tone her body and knew we were the right team to help her achieve that goal.

Another member came to us after a divorce. He noticed he was losing muscle mass and felt that he was getting old. He wanted to become stronger, build muscle, and remain physically independent.

I could write a whole book about our members and the reasons they joined us.

But I don't need to.

Seed Oils, Cleanses, and How to Lose Weight Easier and Faster with Cherie Calbom

I already knew how important food is for weight loss and overall health. However, I was not fully aware of how much the type of fats and oils we consume can influence our health and well-being.

Of course, I knew that olive oil is one of the healthiest oils you can consume. But I did not know there are many other oils and healthy fats that people use every day to support their health.

I also knew that many people use cleanses as part of their wellness routine. However, I had never thought deeply about how taking care of the liver and supporting the body's natural detoxification systems could affect overall health.

I was blown away by my interview with Cherie Calbom.

Cherie developed fibromyalgia and suffered from chronic fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, and other symptoms that doctors struggled to help her with. Instead of giving up, she started learning everything she could about nutrition and health. She concluded that her diet was contributing to her diagnosis, so she eliminated many processed foods and began focusing on vegetables, fresh juices, and whole foods.
