Find What You Love Doing: How to Start Training and Stick with It
When it comes to getting fit, starting is often the hardest part. Many of us want to feel healthier, stronger, or more energetic, but the thought of beginning a fitness routine can feel overwhelming. The key to lasting success isn’t just in starting—it’s in finding something you enjoy doing. Studies show that people are more likely to stick with something long-term if they enjoy it. While not every training session will be pure joy, and some will be tough, choosing an activity you like will make you more consistent. Over time, it’ll become a habit, and discipline will take over.
Let’s take a journey through the four stages of getting started: Contemplation, Research, Education, and Decision, and how Limitless Performance Centre (LPC) can guide you through each one.
Contemplation: The Decision to Start
We’ve all been there. That moment when we realise, “I need to get fit.” Maybe it’s after seeing a photo of yourself, struggling with daily tasks, or just feeling low energy. Whatever the spark, the motivation to change begins with this realisation. But here’s the catch - motivation doesn’t last forever.
Most people think, “I should go for a run to get fit” or “I need to burn 500 calories per workout.” While these might seem like logical goals, they aren’t always enjoyable, and that’s why so many fall off the wagon.
This is where LPC steps in. We encourage you to find what you love doing, not just what burns the most calories or seems like the fastest way to lose weight. Whether it's weightlifting, rowing, or working in small groups, we offer a variety of training options so you can find an activity that you’ll want to stick with.
Research: Exploring Your Options
Once you’ve decided to get fit, the next step is figuring out how. The fitness world is full of options, from gym memberships to fitness apps, YouTube workouts, and boot camps. But here’s the problem: too many options can lead to decision paralysis. When you’re faced with endless choices, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and not choose anything at all.
At LPC, we simplify the process for you. We offer Personal Coaching (PC) for those who want one-on-one support, Small Group Private Training (SGPT) for people who thrive in a community setting, and even team-based Strength and Conditioning (S&C) for athletes. Our KickStart program is designed for beginners, providing six one-on-one sessions to introduce you to weight training, our community, and help you build a solid foundation. From there, you can decide which type of training suits you best.
Education: Learning What Works for You
Starting a fitness journey can be confusing. You may ask yourself, “Am I doing this right?” or “Will this exercise get me results?” Education is key to understanding what will work for you in the long term. And part of that education is realising that it’s not about extreme calorie-burning workouts but about building strength, improving your health, and enjoying the process.
At LPC, we focus on personalised training. You won’t just be given a one-size-fits-all program. In our Small Group Private Training, you’ll follow a tailored program that evolves with your progress. Our coaches provide feedback and guidance every step of the way, helping you understand the “why” behind every movement. This gives you the confidence to stay on track and the tools to become self-sufficient.
Decision: Committing to Your Journey
By now, you’ve researched, found what excites you, and learned how to train properly. The final stage is committing to a routine. This is where motivation fades, and discipline takes over. The more consistent you are, the easier it gets. You build a habit, and soon, working out becomes part of your life, not a chore.
At LPC, we understand that discipline is built over time. Our coaches are there to support you beyond just the training sessions. We create an environment where you feel accountable, encouraged, and challenged, but never alone. Whether you’re training for a specific sport, trying to get in shape, or just looking to build healthy habits, LPC provides the structure and community to help you succeed.
Why might LPC be the right fit for you?
At Limitless Performance Centre, we believe that fitness is not just about burning calories or following trends. It’s about finding what works for you—something you enjoy enough to stick with, and that helps you grow stronger both physically and mentally. Whether you're interested in Strength Training, Powerlifting, Olympic lifting, CrossFit-style workouts, High-intensity training, or even Bodybuilding, we offer a wide range of training styles to suit your needs. Our tailored approach, experienced coaches, and supportive community make LPC the perfect place to start, learn, and thrive in your fitness journey.
So, don’t fall into the trap of thinking there’s only one way to get fit. Whether you're looking to build strength, improve athletic performance, or simply get in the best shape of your life, there's something for everyone at LPC. Find what you love, and let us help you make fitness a lifelong habit.
