How to Stay Motivated and Consistent with Your Strength Training Routine

Starting a strength training routine is a great way to become stronger and healthier. But staying motivated and consistent can be tough, especially when life gets busy or progress seems slow. At bStrong, we see these challenges often and want to help you stay on track with these practical tips.

1. Set Realistic Goals

Set achievable goals that match your lifestyle. You don’t need to do a formal workout every day. Instead, aim for two or three days per week. You want to give your body a chance to recover between workouts, and you want to make sure it’s a frequency you can achieve.

2. Create a Workout Schedule

Consistency is easier when training is part of your routine. Block out workout times in your schedule like any other important event. At bStrong, we encourage consistent training schedules to build workouts into your weekly routine.

3. Train with a Friend or in a Group

Working out with others boosts motivation and accountability. Our small group personal training sessions create a supportive community, making workouts more fun and encouraging you to stick with it.

4. Track Your Progress

Tracking helps you see improvements over time. At bStrong, we’ll track your weights and provide targets for each workout to ensure you’re making progress week after week.

5. Celebrate Small Wins

Acknowledging small achievements, like lifting a bit more or just showing up consistently, can reinforce your habit and build excitement for each workout.

6. Mix Up Your Routine

Repeating exercises helps you track progress, but it’s also important to mix things up periodically. Our programs are structured in 4-week cycles, allowing you to see steady improvements without getting stuck in a repetitive routine.

7. Remember Your “Why”

When motivation dips, revisit why you started. Whether it’s to feel healthier, gain confidence, or become stronger, reminding yourself of your goals can rekindle your drive. Picture yourself reaching those milestones.

8. Seek Support from a Coach

Having a coach to guide and motivate you makes a big difference. At bStrong, our trainers provide personalized support to help you stay on track and progress steadily.
