5 ways to avoid falling off track & to keep yourself progressing!!


Have you ever experienced this cycle…


  1. You feel motivated so you start training and watching your diet.
  2. You give it a good go and get to the gym a few times a week for a few weeks.
  3. Something happens or a new focus comes along which upsets the routine and without knowing it you’re 3 weeks since you last trained or thought about your meals and you’re back to square one.


Here’s 5 ways you can stop this cycle from swallowing you up…



  1. Use a Saturday or a Sunday to have a weekly meeting with yourself - sit down and write out something as simple as, what went well, what didn’t go so well & what are you going to do differently this week to make things run smoother.
  2. Stick to a routine that works best for you and try not to compromise on that. Find working out in the morning is good for you because it’s done and out of the way, stopping you from deciding you’re too tired later on? Keep your workout to the morning! Give yourself every chance.
  3. Plan your meals in advance, you don’t necessarily have to food prep but having everything in you need and knowing what you’re cooking that night is so much more beneficial. This stops you popping into tesco on the way home when you’re starving and going overboard when you could eat your way through the aisles!
  4. Get the support of your family, partner or whoever you live with. Bonus points for getting them onboard with making these changes along side you. You’ll always work better as a team or with someone’s support.
  5. Have clear back up plans and rough rules. For example try to not miss sessions earlier on in the week if you’re struggling to fit them in. As the week goes on you’re only more likely to put them off. So always start the week off on the right foot!


I hope this helps & would love to know which out of the 5 tips you struggle with or are going to add into your week!!

Great trainer and great guy! Knows exactly how to push and encourage you to reach your goals. Full of knowledge, ensures that you are also learning the reason why when running through strength and technique drills. Can’t recommend enough!

I have been doing PT and small group training with Kier for years now! He is the best PT I have ever had, and I have tried a few! Not only is he motivating but he listens! Sometimes being a counsellor as well as a PT. He is always pushing me to do better and is such a great guy! If you are looking for small group training or 1-1 PT then look no further! He's the best!

I have been with OlsenFitness for a few years now. Before working with Kier, I thought I was fit for hockey and didn’t think I could do much more to improve my fitness levels. However, since working with Kier, I have become stronger, more agile, and more confident on the pitch.  He has helped me train smarter. He believes in his clients; he’s encouraging and supportive and is always available to discuss any issues or concerns around training and nutrition. Thank you OlsenFitness!

I have never been someone who enjoys the gym, I also dislike running but health & fitness is important to me.  I initially joined small group training Kier ran & fell in love. They were engaging, every session we did something different, it was challenging in strength & fitness & before long I started to notice changes in my physique. Before lockdown I took the plunge & started 1-1 PT sessions & I have never looked back. I am continuously learning about the balance of life, nutrition & training. Kier is the most friendly person ever, he works with your lifestyle & together you can start to achieve. I am now lifting weights I once thought were for body builders! I am growing in strength & fitness, my knowledge around nutrition is improving & so is my physique.
