100%. What motivates me consistently is four things:
- I pay for a gym membership, so I use it to get my money's worth.
- I like being around like-minded people; the environment and visuals of other people dedicating themselves to fitness motivates me.
- I had a trainer once, so I have seen that results are absolutely possible if you dedicate yourself.
- Once you're in that rhythm after a couple weeks, the training 'high', the mental clarity, the increased energy and the physical change to you body becomes addictive.
That last bullet is probably the most important. It's like a car in motion - takes a lot of energy to start and build momentum, but once you're cruising at a high speed, it gets easier and more efficient and the results come quickly.
