We’ve all been there - saying “I just don’t have enough time.” But is it really true? Or is it more about how we’re using (or not using) the time we do have?

In this episode, we dive into the mindset of time management and why it’s so important to challenge that common excuse. Winter has been tough for us and for many of our members, so we wanted to share what we’ve learned and how you can start building routines that stick.

Here’s what we cover in detail:

• Do you not have time, or are you not making time?
  We break down the difference between genuinely being stretched thin (work, kids, life commitments) versus not prioritising exercise because of tiredness, habits, or mindset.
• The role of coaching and accountability.
  As coaches, our job is to question the “I don’t have time” excuse — not to be critical, but to help clients uncover the truth and then find practical solutions.
• Step 1: Planning ahead.
  From laying out your clothes the night before to booking studio sessions in advance, we show how planning removes barriers and makes it easier to follow through.
• Step 2: Start with three sessions a week.
  Many people get overwhelmed thinking they need to train every day. In reality, just three well-structured 30-minute sessions a week can deliver amazing results.
• Step 3: Rethink your session length.
  You don’t need a full hour. We explain how 20–40 minutes of focused training — whether it’s strength or HIIT — is often more effective than an unfocused 60-minute workout.
• A real example of a 30-minute push session.
  We outline how to break it into three 10-minute blocks — a main lift followed by supersets — to maximise effort, recovery, and results.
• Fitting fitness around family and commitments.
  For many, especially parents, the challenge isn’t just time — it’s priorities. We talk about balancing family commitments while still carving out time to invest in your own health.

Key takeaways:

1. Plan ahead — for your week, your workouts, and even your gear.
2. Don’t aim for perfection — 3 × 30-minute sessions is plenty to get results.
3. Use the time you do have — even 20 minutes is valuable when done well.

At the end of the day, it’s about shifting from “I don’t have time” to “I’ll make the most of the time I’ve got.” That mindset change is the difference between staying stuck and building consistency that lasts.
