How to Stop Quitting the Gym
Episode 450
Tuesday, 10 February, 2026
Story time! I'm sharing a personal story from my early triathlon days that still shapes how I coaches lifters today. What started as a scary open-water swim became a powerful lesson about progress, patience, and why perfection is not required to move forward. In this episode, you'll reframe how you think about missed workouts, imperfect weeks, and all-or-nothing thinking in fitness. If you've ever felt like skipping one session meant you blew it, this episode offers a grounding reminder: that forward progress counts, even when it doesn't look pretty. What you'll learn in this episode: Why stopping completely doesn't get you any closer to your goals – but imperfect effort does How all-or-nothing thinking quietly sabotages long-term strength training consistency What "just keep swimming" really looks like inside a lifting program Why flexibility is a skill – not a lack of discipline How minimum effective effort can keep momentum alive during hard seasons What strength training consistency actually looks like for women over 40 Enjoyed this episode and want more?
