Name Your Reason for Getting Healthy

Having a compelling reason to get healthy can be a powerful motivator for going to the gym and achieving fitness goals and overall long-term health. When you have a clear and meaningful purpose behind your efforts, it provides you with a sense of direction and determination. Whether it's the desire to improve your overall quality of life, prevent a specific health condition, or reach a personal milestone, having a reason gives your fitness journey purpose and significance. This motivation acts as a driving force that encourages you to overcome obstacles, stay committed to your workout routines, and make healthier choices in your daily life. It provides a mental anchor that reminds you why you started your fitness journey in the first place, helping you stay focused on your goals even when faced with challenges or setbacks. It provides a sense of personal responsibility and accountability to take action and make the necessary changes to reach your objectives.

Ultimately, the motivations for getting healthy are highly individualized. Identify your personal incentives and set achievable goals to support your journey towards a healthier new life.

Set SMART Goals

Setting SMART goals that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound can help to break down the long-run goal into smaller and more manageable steps. Once your previous SMART goals have been reached, you should set new ones. Our cutting-edge Thesis Fit fitness tracking app offers personalized guidance from our personal trainers, ongoing progress tracking, and accountability, transforming exercise and nutrition from being a chore into a meaningful and rewarding pursuit.

Involve Family and Friends in Your Fitness Journey

Setting consistent days and times for working out with a friend or family member can keep you accountable and on track to achieve results so barriers to exercise are prevented. Many people experience a slump and can find it difficult to get motivated to go to the gym. Having a partner ensures that you both push through those motivational slumps, provide mutual encouragement, and continue making progress. Our trainers can help you overcome hurdles and achieve your desired results.

Thesis also has a range of personalized services to assist with your specific needs including nutrition coaching, supplement recommendations, prenatal personal trainers, postpartum personal trainer, a physical therapist to help you recover from an injury, or a sports performance personal trainer who can help you work towards your specific athletic goals.
