The Stages of Progress: How to Approach Your Fitness Journey at Fortitude Gym

At Fortitude Gym Lydney, we know that progress in personal training isn’t a straight line—it’s a process. That’s why we’ve broken it down into 3 clear stages to help you build momentum, stay motivated, and achieve lasting results. Our latest video outlines these key phases and how to approach them effectively.

1. Momentum & Routine Stage

The foundation of long-term success starts with consistency. In this stage, your focus should be on:
✅ Ingraining the habit of showing up
✅ Establishing a simple, clear routine
✅ Prioritising technique with lower weights and higher reps
✅ Adopting a process-oriented mindset, focusing on effort over outcomes

2. Reset Vision Stage

Once the initial excitement fades, it’s time to refocus and push forward. Here’s how:
🔄 Reassess and adjust your goals
🔥 Increase intensity with strength training and cardio for continued progress - ensure this is done under the guidance of our expert coaches
⚖️ Learn to balance fitness with life's demands to maintain consistency

3. Maximise Results Stage

This is where the finer details come into play, and progress becomes more refined:
📆 Structuring training into focused blocks (periodisation)
🥗 Optimising nutrition and lifestyle factors
💪 Understanding that progress takes more effort at this stage, but the results are worth it

Wherever you are in your journey, trust the process and keep moving forward. Watch our video to learn more about how to approach each stage and make the most of your personal training experience at Fortitude Gym!
