Stop Training for Events. Start Training for Life From A ST Johns Wood Personal Trainer

Health doesn’t have an end date. There’s no finish line

We see this all the time:

  • Someone joins the gym to lose weight for a wedding or another big event. Once it’s over, they stop coming.
  • A Client who usually struggles to show up signs up for a Race or something similar. They get consistent for a while, but after the race, they stop again.

It’s normal to want a deadline to help you stick to a plan, but the real issue isn’t consistency—it’s mindset.

In these examples, fitness becomes something you start and stop based on what’s next. But real health doesn’t have an end date. There’s no finish line.

Training for an event can give you a burst of motivation—a deadline, a goal, something to work toward. That’s great. But when the event is over, your routine often disappears too.

Motivation can come from events, but it doesn’t last. A better way is to notice what strength gives you outside the gym: confidence, capability, and energy for the life you want. Strength feels good!

At Results Fitness, we train for life—to move well, stay strong, and stay independent. The truth is, nothing beats muscle as an “anti-ageing” plan.

Muscle protects your bones, helps your metabolism, balances hormones, and keeps you moving well for years. You don’t build it just for a race. You build it so you can keep living well—whether that means playing with your grandkids, hiking on vacation, or just feeling good in your own skin.

Stop training just for the next event, wedding, or reunion. Start training for your whole life.

The best part of fitness isn’t a medal or a finish line. It’s knowing you’re capable, confident, and strong enough to live fully at any age.
