Is Getting to the Gym Harder Than the Workout?
Let’s be real—sometimes the hardest part of your fitness routine isn’t the workout itself. It’s actually getting to the gym!
At CrossFit North Charleston, we see it every day. Our members are busy juggling work, family, and life, but the ones who crush their goals consistently have one thing in common: they show up.
Consistency is everything when it comes to reaching your fitness goals—and it all starts with getting yourself to the box.
Here’s what some of our members have shared about how they make it happen:
Make it part of your routine
“I like going after work because it’s a stress reliever. I leave feeling amazing, energized, and motivated to eat healthier throughout the evening.”
“I’m not a morning person, but scheduling my CrossFit sessions early keeps me accountable. I start my day energized and ready to tackle everything!”
Find what motivates you
“The early alarm is tough, but seeing all the 5am and 6am warriors at the box is so motivating. It makes getting up worth it!”
Build habits that stick
“It takes roughly 21 days to form a habit. Be patient and consistent! And if you need accountability, your coaches and fellow members are always there to help.”
“For me, prioritizing sleep made all the difference. I prep my gear and coffee the night before—it makes rolling out of bed for a 6am class so much easier!”
“I never thought I’d be someone who works out in the morning, but now I feel off if I skip it. Creating a new routine is key, and flexibility is okay too.”
Bottom line: Small, consistent habits make it easier to get to the gym—and eventually, those habits lead to real results.
If getting to the gym feels like your biggest hurdle, we’ve got your back. At CrossFit North Charleston, we’ll help you build accountability, create routines, and develop habits that make showing up second nature.
