Everyone thinks January is the “fresh start” month for fitness—but here’s the reality: by March, nearly 80% of people have already quit. The resolution rush doesn’t stick.
Stop waiting for January to fix your fitness. By then, the gyms are packed, the apps are overflowing, and most people have already quit by March.
Here’s the smarter play: start in September.
September gives you a clean slate, fresh routines, and the chance to build momentum before the holiday chaos.
Imagine this: you start now, and by January you’re already 12–16 weeks in and starting January riding a wave of momentum. You’re stronger, faster, and more confident while everyone else is still figuring out how to log into their gym app.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
Why January is the worst time to start fitness
The real reasons September sets you up for success
How to use fall to lock in consistency, even with a busy schedule
The exact momentum you’ll build to hit spring ahead of the curve
This is your wake-up call: September isn’t the time to think about starting—it’s the time to actually do it.
👉 Hit play, start today, and let’s make sure you’re not starting over in January—you’re already ahead.
