Nothing Changes Until You Do

Recently, a few new people started personal training with me, so I thought it’s a good time to explain what actually happens when you join and how long it takes to see results.

First, the hardest part is just reaching out.

That first message, the first meeting: that’s where most people get stuck.

I’ve had people tell me they’ve been thinking about it for years before finally sending a message.

If that’s you, please stop waiting.

Just reach out. Let’s meet, chat, and see how it feels.

And if I’m not the right coach for you, there are plenty of great ones out there.

What matters is that you start. The moment you decide to do something about your health, that’s the right time.

Our first meeting is simple. We talk about your goals, what you want, what’s realistic, and how it fits into your life.

But it’s also a test for both of us.

Personal training is personal. It only works if there’s trust and honesty between us.

If we click, I’ll design a plan that fits you, your life, your body, your mindset.

Then we start training.

And usually, the first few weeks feel like a honeymoon; everything’s new, exciting, full of motivation.

You feel great, you’re buzzing after every session.

Then it hits.

Progress feels slower than you expected. You realise this isn’t a quick fix. It’s a process.

That’s the hard part.

But if you stay consistent, something changes. You build habits.

You move better, you have more energy, your body starts to change, but more importantly, your mindset shifts.

After a few weeks, things start to click.

You feel in control. You train with confidence. You might join a few classes, go for runs, or just live more actively.

You eat better without even trying. You just get it.

I call this the maintenance phase.

It can last a very long time.

At this point, you don’t really need me anymore because you know what to do.

Some people keep training with me for accountability or because they enjoy the structure.

Others go solo and keep showing up at classes. Both ways work.

The key is starting.

Because nothing changes until you do.
