With New Year rapidly approaching, many people will be eager to embark on their journey in the gym and begin setting their sights on an end goal that may seem an eternity away.
Whether it is losing weight, building muscle or improving health overall, January 1 always feels like the time to start.
When it comes to fitness, setting realistic and achievable goals is crucial for sustained progress. Many people begin the New Year with big, ambitious goals, but these often turn out to feel too overwhelming for a new gym goer, especially if the end goal is too far away from their start point. It is important to set goals that not only motivate you but also are realistic for yourself as a person.
Motivation levels differ, and different people stay focused in different ways. However, the most important thing is to be surrounded by the right people with a strong safety net and an encouraging community.
Harriet McGuffie Fitness is a gym that offers personal training and allows individuals to build up relationships to push each other to grow as a community. They aim to set goals depending on the individual and their personal life as opposed to the training programme dictating choices.
