The Truth About Motivation (And What You Actually Need Instead)

If you’ve ever told yourself you’ll start “when you feel more motivated,” you’re not alone

If you’ve ever told yourself you’ll start “when you feel more motivated,” you’re not alone. But here’s the honest truth: motivation isn’t what gets results - consistency does.

Motivation is fleeting. Some days it’s there, some days it’s not. What actually keeps you moving forward is having a plan, building habits, and showing up even when you don’t feel like it.

This is where coaching makes the difference. As a personal trainer in Leeds, I work with clients to build structure, remove guesswork, and create momentum. You don’t have to rely on willpower, you just follow the plan we’ve built together.

You and I will focus on systems: consistent training, manageable nutrition, progress tracking, and accountability. Over time, those small daily efforts build confidence, progress, and yes even more motivation.

You don’t need to feel inspired every day. You just need a framework that keeps you moving forward. And that’s exactly what I do at Core Fitness Personal Training Studio.
