by the way, with this episode, here's what we did to help people out.
If this is you, if you're a beginner and you don't want to quit, here's what we have.
We have two workout programs designed for the beginner that require minimal to no equipment.

Now, this episode is brought to you by a sponsor, Seed.
This is the world's best probiotic by far.
Look, you've seen the data on probiotics.
We know it helps with digestion.
We know it helps with inflammation.
But did you know the studies are showing it helps with mental state?
It helps with your skin.
There may be some fat burning and muscle building effects.
It's true.
Probiotics may actually benefit athletic performance and fitness goals.
Probiotics also have benefits for longevity for reducing chronic illness.
They're great.
They're good for you.
The problem is, what do I take?
Which probiotic company has active bacteria, the best strains?
And can they get those bacteria to where they need to go or does it get destroyed in my digestive tract?
Well, seed handles all of that.
They have patented capsules that bring live bacteria strains to your colon where they need to go.

The stick rate with workouts is dismal,
but 80 to 90% of people lose consistency
with their workouts within a year.
We have the solution.
Today we're going to talk about why most beginners quit and how to actually stick with fitness.
Let's get to it.
Whenever we talk about this, it always reminds me of the January rush.
Best example.
Yeah.
Best example.
Managing Big Box.
All of us started in fitness in Big Box Gyms.
And if you've ever worked in a Big Box Gym for over a year, you've seen the cycle.
And the numbers are pretty consistent.
You get about a 50 to 60% increase in traffic.
meaning, you know, people coming into work out, 50% increase in revenue, people buying
memberships, signing up.
And that stays up till probably February, March.
Just a wave of motivation.
And then after March, it's a very quick decline.
And by the time you get to like April, May, you're back to normal.
So it's like three months of machines are free again.
It's wild.
And it was super consistent.
Like this was predictable.
This is so predictable.
Jims will organize their schedules and their budgets around the January wave and the inevitable drop-off.
Yeah, January is what Black Friday is to the retail market.
So what the retail market is familiar with in November and Black Friday and that whole month for retail sales,
that's what the gym industry experiences in January and February.
And all the way into March, I'd say, is when it starts to peak.
And then it starts to come up.
And it's a pretty sharp decline.
It's such a sharp decline that it goes from January, the highest.
By the time July hits, it's at the lowest.
The lowest.
Yeah.
So it's like, July is always a rough month.
In fact, July in gyms is similar to the end of the year, which is the slowest time of the year.
In gyms, where you have holidays and stuff.
Yeah.
And this, again, if you look at the data, most people stop.
Most people, the vast majority.
Like if you're listening to this, you've probably done this.
Where you get going, you're motivated, you're doing your workout, you're consistent in the beginning.
And then it declines and then you're done.
And that happens within a year.
That's what the data shows.
In our experience, it's within months.
And so what we want to talk about is how to fix that because here's the real problem.
the real issue with fitness is consistency.
That's what we're talking about.
Consistently working out, even if your workout is not perfect, right?
So long as you don't hurt yourself and super overdo it, you get great results over time.
You get the benefits of fitness.
You'll get the muscle.
You'll get some fat loss.
Now, of course, there's better ways to do it.
But consistency is the problem to solve.
Now, what's interesting about this data is when you look at the consistency,
of people who work out
when they work out with, let's say, a trainer
how long they stick around,
it's triple,
quadruple, and with really good coaches,
consistency is the norm.
Long-term, consistency is the norm.
So it's like, okay, what's going on here?
Why are people stopping?
Why do they get so motivated
and why do they stop?
And how do we remedy that?
Yeah, I think the part that's really interesting
about that is that we're talking about
millions of people across the country
that typically fall off, right?
They fall into that category
or the 80, 90% that lose consistency
typically fall in four or five buckets
or collectively, like a couple of those, right?
That reasons for why.
So multitude of factors.
Yeah, super, super common to see this.
I mean, there's always exceptions to the rule,
but a vast majority of them fall into one of these
four or five categories.
Yeah, and so let's talk about those here.
for a little bit.
Like, what is it that that's getting people
to lose their consistency?
And then how do we remedy that?
So the first thing I think that we'll cover
is that the workout needs to work.
Okay?
So one of the reasons why, one reason,
because there's many,
but one reason why clients that work
with a really good trainer
stick around is because they actually see results.
There's nothing more frustrating.
One of the most frustrating things on earth
is putting a ton of effort
into something and getting what you perceive to be very little in return.
That sucks.
I don't care what you do.
It's like you could go work your butt off.
You could put time into an effort into a relationship.
Or you could go to the gym, you know, three days a week or four days a week consistently.
And you see some results and then it's stop.
And then you're like, why am I doing this?
Why am I doing so much sacrifice?
And I have barely any results to show for the effort that I've put into.
And that's the number one reason that people stop is they just don't get the results that they think that they should, especially for the effort that they put in.
The solution to that is a good workout plan.
Yeah.
And like you mentioned, a trainer can really tailor that to an appropriate level of workout.
I think a lot of times because of the nature of it being so hype driven and so much motivation going in, the intensity really ramps up.
and what they take on is usually too much.
And so the workout itself isn't appropriate.
And then they are working that hard.
They're working really hard.
And now they're burned out.
They're not seeing the results.
So the frustration there is definitely a big driver.
That's a good point.
The 24 had really good stats around this.
It was really fascinating to see.
In fact, it was so powerful that they would give away personal training on the front
in because they knew how much longer
they would keep people on the back end.
They had a membership
that was called the KeyFit Plus, where
you basically prepaid a year, which was
already the best deal. And then they would
include at different times,
depending on what decade you worked there,
was between four and six personal training
sessions. Which is not a lot.
It's not a lot. But it was enough. But it was enough.
What they found was the average member
that didn't get
a personal trainer and they started would fall off
after about three months.
and then the average member that got a personal trainer
for just four to six visits
would last over three years.
And so they would bet on,
okay, we lose out on the money
that we're spending on the personal trainer
to train these people for four to six sessions up front,
but the consistency that they will keep paying
every single month for the next two to three years
outpays it by quite a bit.
And so it's,
and really what that speaks to,
because obviously a personal trainer in five to six sessions
is not taking a majority of people
to their ultimate physique or goals.
No, you can't.
No.
But what they are doing is putting them on a much better plan and path.
And I think a lot of people don't know that they don't know.
That's right.
I think that exercise, as simple as it can be, it's also a bit complicated.
You know, body composition change is a science.
And I think sometimes we oversimplify.
We can overcomplicate it too, but we also oversimplify it sometimes.
with, oh, just eat less and move more.
And so people go in with this out, okay, I'm going to stop eating
with those bad foods and I'm going to work my ass off.
And like most other things in their life, the harder they work towards it, the more
return they expect to get from it.
And that just doesn't play out when you're doing this on your own is you're busting your
ass, you're restricting like crazy.
And the results are minimal to none at all, which results in most of these people
quitting.
Well, the average person, I'm glad.
you said people don't know what they don't know. So what's the, what's the magic? What's happening
here in this particular scenario? So here's a deal. The average person, when they think of a workout
or an effective workout or what makes up an effective workout, there's two things that they think.
Knowing exercises and hard. That's it. If I know exercises and I work hard and the way they determine
if they're working hard is, like how sore I get, how hard it is, how hard I'm breathing, then I should get
phenomenal results.
Now, here's the crazy part.
That's not workout programming.
Now, exercises done properly make up part of the workout programming.
Intensity is part of the formula that makes up workout programming.
But so are reps, sets, rest periods, and how the whole thing is organized on a weekly,
monthly, and then quarterly and yearly basis.
There's actually a lot more that goes into workout.
programming that people realize. This is why there's a, you know, strength and conditioning
science. This is why workout programming. This is why strength athletes. You know, athletes that
compete in sports to see who can lift the most wage, let's just say. The difference between them
is the programming. And you'll have schools or clubs that become famous for producing champions.
And it's not because they're attracting the most genetically gifted or they have some special
drug that they're giving people.
It's their workout programming.
And they get so good at it that people start to learn what that programming is or what
they're doing and start injecting and implementing it into other workout programs.
So workout programming is a science.
And here's what it looks like when you do it right.
It feels like the results you get don't match the effort that you put in.
And I mean that in a good way.
I don't mean it in the bad way.
So the bad way is I am putting so much effort into the,
this and I'm getting so little in return.
Oftentimes you'll hear people say, man, I'm working so hard.
I mean, look like I work out.
When workout programming is done well, the opposite is what people say.
Man, I feel like I'm barely doing anything.
Right.
And I'm getting such crazy results.
This is wild.
What's going on?
And the difference is you have a good workout.
So one of the number one things you can do to help with your consistency is follow a good
plan, one that is written and created.
by people who understand workout programming,
one that actually has science behind it
and one that also has experience behind it.
That makes such a big difference
in terms of your consistency.
Well, the truth, I mean, this is what I meant
by body composition is a science.
If anybody just goes in and does exercises, right,
that they've seen on TV or they downloaded from Google
and they just perform those,
there's a bit of return you'll get from those.
You'll get better at those exercises.
It's better than nothing.
Yeah, and it's better than nothing.
But most people come in to the gym
because they want to make a change.
They want to make a body composition change.
Or they got some bad news from the doctor
that says, hey, there's these health indicators
that your health is poor, cholesterol is high,
whatever the thing is.
We need to go fix this thing.
And so most people come in to make change like that.
And more often than not, it's physical and aesthetic change.
And making physical and aesthetic change
in the positive direction,
there's science involved.
There's a balance of the appropriate amount of macronutrients that your body needs.
There's a certain amount of stress that you want to apply to the body related to how much recovery that you get.
Which is determined so much by your lifestyle.
Right.
There's a certain level at what you want to start and then slowly progress.
This like giving it all at once as much as you possibly can while also restricting from all these things that you think you shouldn't be eating approach is a failing strategy.
that most people go into the gym thinking is the best strategy.
And the unfortunate part to the point you're making is if they only knew that it would take
less effort to get more results, they would be more likely to stick around.
But the reason why they don't is because, and I wouldn't either.
It's like showing up to a job, you bust your ass off for eight hours a day and you get the
paycheck and it's, they didn't even pay you a minimum wage.
How long are you going to do that for?
Just like, this is ridiculous.
This is, I work for free.
Yeah, no way. I don't want to do this.
And so, but what, what if you could work a fraction of the hours and get paid 10 times the money?
I mean, no brainer.
Yeah, no brainer.
And so I think that's what happens to so many people is that.
And I want to be clear, effectiveness does not mean hardest workout.
No.
It means best, most effective workout.
Smart, smart workout.
The, you know, our producer here at Mind Pump, Doug, who's been, you know, we've all been doing this together.
since the very beginning.
I met Doug when he hired me as a personal trainer.
And Doug had an extensive fitness history.
He was not some guy that never worked out before.
He'd worked out many, many times before.
He'd follow many routines before.
He'd done bodybuilding routines and fitness routines.
He'd run.
He'd do play tennis.
And I remember when he came to hire me,
it took me a second to convince him that we were only going to work out twice a week.
He actually kind of didn't believe me.
And thankfully, I'm very convincing.
So I got a little trust from him to try.
yet. By week three, there was no convincing required because Doug was seeing and feeling results
by week three that were blowing. I remember him telling me, like, this is weird. How am I progressing
the way I am with just two days a week? And the difference was the programming. That was all the
difference of the world. There was nothing else that was different. He was doing everything else the same
as he'd always done. The difference was we're working out in an effective way, which takes us to the
second point. And when you look at polls as to why people stop their workouts, one of the top reasons,
One of the top five reasons is it's taking up too much time or I don't have the time,
which actually kind of communicates what we just talked about,
which is when you're doing something so ineffectively,
it takes a lot of time to see a little bit of movement.
And so when you're going to the gym and you're working out four days a week consistently
or three days a week consistently,
which, by the way, I've got to be clear here because we tend to get a little distorted here.
When people talk about working out, right out the gates in the conversations every day,
for some reason,
every day. That's not true. You should be active every day, but working out, no, very few people,
very, very few people need to work out every single day. The vast majority of people, if you were
working out three days a week, you're working out a lot. That's a lot of scheduled consistent workouts.
Most people, less than that, would be perfectly fine. So the problem is, I don't have the time
to do this ineffective crappy workout. I'm putting so much time in. I'm getting so little. I got a family.
I got a job. I got these things. I'm not going to, this just isn't, uh,
worth it. So the second point at helping you with consistency is the workout itself should not take
a ton of time. Period. End of story. You can be super motivated getting into something, making your
decisions based off of that motivated state of mind. But eventually that motivated state of mind will
fade because it does. Nobody can stay motivated all the time. That just doesn't happen. And now you've
committed yourself to, I don't know how many days a week, you're not motivated. And going to the gym,
four days a week, five days a week, six days a week.
It's like, I'm not a fitness fanatic.
I don't love this.
I don't want to live in the gym.
This sucks.
I'm going to stop.
It's overwhelming.
I mean, it has to be effective.
It has to be efficient.
And I mean, that's the number one barrier for a lot of people.
It's that timer, you know, being able to, yeah, commitment.
Being able to fit that in.
Everybody's busy.
Everybody has something they can fill their day with and their time.
And so the biggest hurdle is to really like condense that and make,
that time itself like as effective as possible. And to do that, you really have to structure it in a way
where you're selecting, you know, the best exercise. You're, you know, applying the best, you know,
methods for you to actually see some substantial gain. This is also how you can tell when you're talking
to like an experienced trainer. Because many times when, when the client comes in and they're either
one just getting started in the gym or they're speaking to a personal trainer for the first time,
they're highly motivated and ready to go.
And when you ask the question of, you know,
how many days a week can you commit to working out?
Almost always they commit to an amount that's not realistic.
And a really seasoned personal trainer knows this.
And no matter what the number they say to the-
They talk them down.
They talk them down.
Every time.
It's like, I don't care.
The person says six, five, three, it doesn't matter.
Whatever they say, why don't we just start with this?
And that's when you know you've got somebody
who's probably been doing this for a really long time.
because they know if they were doing nothing before.
And I get you started making better decisions around your eating,
better decisions around your sleep and stress management,
and getting you working out just one day a week,
I can make positive change right away.
Start moving you in the right direction.
And then I've got plenty more levers and time to play with,
especially if you told me you could do three or four days a week.
And so a really seasoned trainer knows this and we'll go,
let's commit with this, let's start here,
let's build on that and then we'll go there.
And that is the difference versus, admittedly,
what the young personal trainer or what I did when I first started was,
which somebody was like, tell me they can only do three days a week.
I'm trying to convince them to do four or five.
You know, can we do more?
You're trying to capitalize on it.
Yeah, I'm trying to, I'm thinking in my head,
I'm trying to move the needle as fast as I possibly can.
So this person will continue personal training with me.
And every day that I have control of them,
I have a better shot at that.
And it was such a failing strategy.
thinking that way instead of thinking,
I'm adding more friction.
And this is because the experienced trainer
has lost many clients
over the years of doing it the wrong way.
They're like, no, no, that's not going to work.
Let's do this the right way, you know, type of deal.
Here's the next one.
And by the way, gyms know this
because they have good data on this these days.
One of the number one reasons
why someone will cancel the gym membership
is it's inconvenient.
By the way, the numbers are astounding.
It's like you, if you don't live or work
within a few miles,
of the gym,
then your odds of being,
of canceling go through the roof.
Very high. Yeah.
Through the,
it's literally like the neighborhood gym.
Yeah.
So unless you work there or you live by there,
it's probably not going to work.
The only people that drive 20 or 30 minutes to a gym
are fitness fanatics.
These are people that you don't need to motivate.
Die-hards.
They're just going to,
no matter what,
they're going to go to the gym.
They'll drive as long as they need to get there.
But the average person,
like if it takes longer than 10 minutes to get there,
consistently, that is a barrier that starts to become a larger barrier when motivation fades,
life starts to become challenging.
And then it's like, yeah, I'm not going to do this.
So convenience is very important.
And there's two ways to tackle this.
One, which I just said, have a gym that's very close by.
Here's the second one.
This is a big one.
This is understated, but it's very powerful, very important.
Have a workout you could do at home without much equipment.
This is, this was a game changer for my clients.
Now, my clients were motivated.
They love coming in.
They love seeing me.
They love training with me.
But when I had clients that were,
didn't live nearby,
which sometimes,
which started to happen
towards the end of my career,
because I would have clients referred
from friends that,
and they would speak very highly in me,
so they were willing to drive 30 minutes or whatever.
When they wanted to do extra workouts,
I would give them things they could do at home.
And the ones that they could do at home
or the clients that did stuff at home
and then train with me here and there
were the most consistent people I have.
This is one of the ones that you guys
have shifted me on completely.
I remember when we first started this podcast.
I was the only going the gym guy.
And now I can't tell you the last time I was in a gym because I trained from home.
It's just, and I get it now, the convenience of it.
And I always knew it with training clients because that was a lot of times the reason why it was hard for me to get the client to come to the gym consistently multiple times a week.
It was because if it wasn't right on the way home from work and that was the perfect time for them, getting back in their car and coming to the gym, even if it was close, was crazy how, what a barrier that was.
And so it was, you know, then when I figured out as a trainer, like, oh, I need to put together, and I always did this, was I always had routines that my client could do if they didn't make it to the gym. And so I think having a strategy or a plan like that. And not, and also understanding, too, that you're, it's not lesser or you're not losing because you didn't go. Like that there's this myth that if you don't have all the latest, greatest machines inside the gym or you don't have 500 pounds worth of weights in there that you can't get this incredible.
for beginners.
Right.
Especially for beginners.
Right.
Like a pair of dumbbells, a physio ball, or maybe some bands or your body weight done properly,
you've got yourself a phenomenal workout.
Do anything.
Weights, especially heavy weights, don't really start to become a factor until you've been
consistent for a while.
You've progressed for a while.
You've already progressed for a while.
But especially if you're a beginner, not only is it not necessary, but if you push it too hard
and get that person to do the inconvenient thing, you're odd.
odds of them stopping make it just totally not worth it, which kind of takes this to the next
one, which is the workout needs to be safe. Okay, so injury will stop any fitness program. I don't
care how advanced you are or consistent you are. It'll stop you. And injury happens for a couple
different reasons. One, very obvious, bad technique, bad form. When you start to treat exercises
like as a means to an end, in other words, I'm doing this exercise to get my legs really tired
and sore, or I'm doing this exercise to make my shoulders really tired and sore, versus this is
a skill that I need to learn.
Right.
This is an exercise I need to learn how to perform.
That's the approach.
The approach is, here are the skills I'm going to practice and perform today.
Not I'm going to make my legs tired.
I'm going to make my back tired.
I'm going to make my chest tired.
But rather, I'm going to get good at this exercise and the skill.
That's one of the best things you could do to reduce risk of injury.
It's also one of the best things you can do for result.
Such a different mentality to take on.
and it's so important.
And along those lines, too,
where it gets distorted a lot
is in the group setting.
And so we see this a lot
with that motivation, too, in the beginning.
It's like, well, I don't really know
necessarily some of these movements.
I'm going to join a class.
I'm going to, you know, get motivated
and kind of feed off of that.
A lot of times, you know,
it's really hard to, as an instructor,
even to pay attention to everybody's form
and correctness.
And you get hyped up by it.
You go a little more intense
than you probably would have otherwise.
So it's just one of those things to consider in that setting, you know, it has a propensity to kind of push you a little too far.
You know, I have a new found perspective on this point in my mid-40s now.
You know, this, I've known this stat for a really long time, that this is one of the number one reasons why people, we've known this in the gym industry for a long time of why people quit.
It's because of injury.
Through my 20s and even 30s, I assumed it always was because bad form and technique.
I just figured like, oh, there's a lot of people that just don't know how to exercise properly.
And there's some truth to that.
Right, right.
And there is.
And that's why I thought of it for, I thought that for so long.
My newfound perspective in my mid-40s is I actually think a lot of this happens from people,
maybe even people that know how to work out that are just overzealous.
Yeah.
They overdo it.
And I feel that I have this newfound perspective because I know all this stuff.
I'm aware of it.
And yet I still have done this to myself coming back after a layoff.
And it makes me go, wow.
I wonder how many of these people of that that fall in that injury category that we're all aware of that is one of the large categories of why people fall off early on is actually not just people that don't know how to work out and haven't lifted over.
But actually people that have and they just haven't trained for 10 years or haven't been in the gym, they start working out.
They get excited and they progress really.
They start doing things that their body isn't ready for.
But their mind goes, oh, I used to do this when I was in.
They know what they were capable of.
And so they think that they're going to get there pretty quickly.
when in fact it's too much.
And I have to think since I've watched myself do this
with all of my experience around this,
that I can't be alone,
that this is probably happening.
That's probably a greater percentage of those people
than I thought before.
Before I assumed it was just mostly
really bad technique and form
and people that don't know what they're doing
is hurting themselves.
It's like, actually,
this is probably a lot of middle-aged people
that are coming back to working out
who have had, you know, years have laid off,
put on some body fat,
coming back in deconditioned and starting to feel good in momentum and I should be able to do this
probably not I mean listen I know all these things yet I didn't properly progressively load myself
and actually scale appropriately I should have scaled back and been following one of our beginner like
type of programs even as advanced as I am until my body was ready to progress instead what did I do
oh man good week oh PR week PR week PR week oh injury and so you know it's probably happening to a lot of people and
cannot highlight enough how important it is that just because you deadlifted or did a bunch of weight
or were strong 10 years ago and you're feeling in a rhythm and good right now probably should follow
some appropriate programming to get you to that place again before you just jump to it.
Yeah, if number one, if the number one cause of injury is poor technique, the close second is over-training.
In fact, one of the hallmarks of doing too much, right?
Too much can be too long.
It could be too hard, right?
an inappropriate amount of stress for your body.
And what determines an inappropriate amount of stress,
your current fitness level, your lifestyle, your sleep, your diet, right?
All those things play a role in that, right?
One of the hallmarks of overtraining is injury.
It's actually one of the number one things, like the coaches know.
Like, oh, repeated injury, maybe we're overtraining.
And so you don't want to overdo it.
You want to have good technique.
And then the last point, that always comes up in every pull,
and every time you look this up, like, why do people stop?
It's typically number five, which is the cost.
Like the cost of the thing that I'm doing,
especially when you combine it with all the other things,
I'm paying this money.
I'm also not getting great results,
and I'm also spending all this time doing it.
I think I'm just going to save my money.
So here's what we did.
Here's what we're going to do to help solve this for people.
We have two programs that are perfect for beginners.
Both of them can be done at home.
Both of them have expert workout programming.
both of them are safe because the exercises and techniques in there,
you can watch, you can follow, and are appropriate for the beginner.
And then to cover costs or to make it less of an issue,
you're going to buy one and you get the other one for free.
So that's what we're going to do right now.
So we have a combo here.
It's maps starter and maps anywhere,
but you're only paying for one of them.
And they require minimal to no equipment.
So you could do them at home.
You can do the mid gym as well,
but you can also just do them at home.
So it's Map Starter, Maps Anywhere, buy one, get the other one for free.
And if you're interested, you go to Mapsbogo.com.
