There's no denying that since the pandemic, times have been tough. This in turn can take its toll on our mental health and our motivations. It's completely normal to have days when your energy and enthusiasm might not be as high as it was the day before. If you feel like life is getting you down, we've got a motivational toolkit to help you feel fitter, stronger or just ready to come back.

Do you have any goals this year? Maybe you've got something that you want to work on this month or even just this week.

Whatever you want to work towards, don't forget to keep track of your progress. Write down your wins (however big or small), your ambitions and what motivates you to carry on. You can then read this list that you've compiled to remind yourself of what you're working towards on a daily basis.

If you previously had a fitness goal that you didn't quite reach, ask yourself: was it do-able in the first place? Maybe you need to set yourself a more manageable goal, or get help from one of our Personal Trainers to help you reach it and stay motivated. This way, you can stay on track with your progress.

No matter how much you think you’ve achieved, you deserve a treat. Being kind to yourself comes in many different forms and could look like taking some me-time in our spa with a facial or enjoying an unwinding session in our hydrotherapy pool.

Away from our clubs, retail therapy, walking in nature and catching up on that box set you’ve wanted to watch are all great ways to show yourself that you are worthy of kindness.
