Are you unmotivated to exercise? Our experience tells us, lack of motivation is the most common reason our clients do not exercise. Do you find this feeling frustrating and demoralizing? You have all these good intentions, but, no matter how healthy you want to be, it’s still really challenging. You are probably like most of our clients (or already one) and would like actual tips, tools and tricks that you can use in your everyday life to be motivated and better yet build habits that allow you to be more fit without needing ‘willpower’ motivation all the time. You will not see pictures of people with their shirts off with ‘motivational’ sayings like ‘motivation is that burning desire that pushes you from within’ or other ridiculous superlative phrases that do nothing to actually help you be motivated to exercise. We give you information you can start using right away.
