Let’s start by clearing something up: we’re not here to tell you that “…everyone has the same 24 hours in a day…” We understand that life can feel overwhelming and chaotic at times.

But when we talk to clients and members at Precision One Coaching, we often uncover common patterns among those who feel they lack the time to work on their health and fitness goals. Let’s address these and show you how to move forward.

1. You’re Trying to ‘Optimise’ Everything

We get it—you want to make the most of your time. The idea of optimising every part of your fitness journey is appealing, but here’s the truth: trying to make everything perfect from the start can lead to paralysis by analysis.

Instead of waiting for the “perfect” plan or the “right” moment, focus on getting started in any way you can. Whether it’s a 15-minute walk, a quick bodyweight workout, or prepping a healthy meal, small actions build momentum.

2. You Don’t Need to Live in the Gym

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to spend hours in the gym to see results. Most of our clients achieve fantastic progress with just 2-4 sessions per week—and many start with as little as two gym sessions weekly, supplemented by simple cardiovascular activities like walking.

This approach is designed to fit into busy schedules and ensures you can build consistency without feeling overwhelmed. Remember, the best workout plan is the one you can stick to!

3. You Aren’t Prioritising Yourself

One of the biggest barriers to making time for fitness is failing to prioritise yourself. Life gets busy, and it’s easy to put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own.

But here’s the thing: if you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t have the energy or health to take care of the people and things that matter most to you.

At Precision One Coaching, we’ve worked with everyone from single parents juggling young kids to busy entrepreneurs running 7-figure businesses. They all had one thing in common: they found time because they made themselves a priority.

Here’s how you can do the same:

• Schedule it: Treat your workout or self-care time like a non-negotiable appointment.
• Plan ahead: Set realistic goals and carve out specific times in your calendar for exercise.
• Start small: Even 20 minutes, twice a week, can make a difference.

The Bottom Line

You don’t need endless free time to achieve your fitness goals—you just need a realistic, personalised plan and the right mindset. Start small, prioritise yourself, and focus on consistency over perfection.

At Precision One Coaching, we specialise in creating bespoke training plans for busy people like you, so you can improve your health and fitness without sacrificing everything else.
