Life is tough. It throws curveballs when we least expect them, and when things get hard, it’s easy to let go of the healthy habits we’ve worked so hard to build. Whether it’s stress, exhaustion, or setbacks, we’ve all been there—feeling like it would be easier to skip a workout, eat whatever is convenient, or put off our goals for “another day.”
But here’s the truth: that “another day” can turn into weeks, months, or even years if we’re not careful. That’s why it’s so important to surround yourself with people who inspire you, lift you up, and remind you why you started in the first place.
Your Environment Shapes Your Success
Look around at the people you spend the most time with. Do they push you to be better? Do they challenge you to show up even when you don’t feel like it? Or do they make excuses for you, telling you that skipping today won’t really matter? The reality is, the people in our lives have a massive influence on our habits, our mindset, and ultimately, our success.
At CrossFit Formidable, we know that community matters. When you walk through our doors, you’re not just stepping into a gym—you’re stepping into a support system. We sweat together, struggle together, and grow together. Having a tribe of people who genuinely want to see you succeed can make all the difference on the days when motivation feels out of reach.
Keep Your Motivation Visible
It’s not just about who you surround yourself with—it’s also about keeping what motivates you in plain sight. Maybe it’s a goal you wrote down, a picture of where you want to be, or a personal mantra that reminds you of your “why.” Keep it where you can see it every day. When life gets tough (and it will), those reminders will help you stay the course.
Remember, motivation isn’t something that magically appears. It’s something you have to cultivate daily. And when motivation fades, discipline and the right people around you will keep you going.
Find Your People, Find Your Strength
If you’re struggling to stay on track, take a look at your circle. If you’re surrounded by people who push you, inspire you, and hold you accountable, you’re far more likely to stay committed. If you don’t have that support, seek it out—join a gym that feels like home, connect with people who share your goals, and build relationships that help you grow.
At CrossFit Formidable, we believe in the power of community, because we’ve seen firsthand how it transforms lives. You don’t have to do this alone. Surround yourself with the right people, keep your motivation close, and remember—when things get hard, that’s when it matters most.
So ask yourself: Who’s in your corner? And are they helping you become the best version of yourself?
