Why your New Year fitness resolution will fail.

Getting in shape is hard at the best of times. No amount of new years motivational bullshit will make any difference… did it last year? What evidence do you have that you’ll stick at anything you try this time around?

We all know it’s utter nonsense that the date changing from 2017 to 2018 will make any difference to successfully achieving your goal of losing fat or building muscle.

Think about previous years and ask yourself why you stopped.

Will it be another year of feeling shitty? It doesn’t have to be but you need to take responsibility for yourself and choose to make the right changes to your lifestyle.

We’re not ones to molly coddle anyone and it’s our goal as a coaching app to force the odds in your favour.

Here’s 4 steps you can take today as thousands of people just like you already have to get in shape. It’s not difficult, you don’t have to even think these days due to apps like Gym Plan. You just have to do what we say, step by step and put the time into yourself.

Step 1. Decide what you want most, to reduce body fat or build more muscle.

In a perfect world doing both at the same time would be easy, the reality is it’s not. Pick one, make some progress then review your goals and adapt your training. We’ll coach you through these decisions.

Step 2. Get on the right training plan with the right team behind you.

Download our Gym Plan app, open the coach chat and we’ll help you pick the right plan. We’ll coach you free for the first 7 days. If you enjoy it, it’s the equivalent of a few cups of coffee per month to train with us going forward.

Step 3. Get a meal plan.

Your new gym plan will automatically tell you how many calories per day you need to eat. Download MealPrepPro to instantly get a delicious meal plan to match your training.

Step 4. Get to work, review progress regularly and work with your coach.

There’s no question that being held accountable makes a difference. What has the biggest impact to your results is intelligently reviewing progress and making on the fly decisions and tweaks to your training and nutrition. This is why we’re the only app anywhere to actually provide a human coach.

It’s not easy to deliver this service but we’re committed to what works for you and even have gone so far to respond to coach chat requests within 10 minutes (current median response time is 8mins).

What you’ll need to accept before you start to get results

1. It won’t be plain sailing.
2. You will find it hard.
3. There’s no shortcuts.
4. You’ll respond different to others.
5. You’ll need to form new habits.
6. Shit food is not a treat.

Eventually you’ll wonder how you managed to get by without eating this way and working out regularly. You previously made a conscious decision to not look after your body and eat junk, all you’ll be doing is changing your mind and investing time in yourself for the better.
