Quick story first.
Diane has been a client for three years and today she reached her 700 class milestone. If you do the math that's approximately 4.5 times per week. That's insane! To hold that level of consistency over three years. I asked her what her biggest accomplishments are. Here's what she said
- "Just staying consistent" was one of the first things out of her mouth. But I wanted more than that. I asked what difference has it made for her outside of the gym.
- "I lifted 195 pounds for 3 reps"
- "My husband isn't afraid to ask me to help move furniture" BOOM!
- "It's pretty cool that my kids think I'm pretty strong too" YESS!
These are the responses I live for. Talk about fit for life!
I think Fall is a great time to start new things. Not January.
Why Fall is the Best Time to Start a Fitness Routine
Summer is fun, but let’s be honest—it often throws our routines out the window. Between vacations, late nights, BBQs, and just trying to keep kids busy, most of us find ourselves a little off track by the time August rolls around.
But here’s the good news: fall is actually the BEST time to start a fitness routine.
Why? Because for the first time in months, your life has structure again. The kids are back in school, schedules are more predictable, and this change in rhythm creates the perfect opportunity to reset your own health habits.
At FRVR FIT, we’ve seen it over and over: the people who make the decision to start now don’t just survive the fall—they thrive.
Here’s why.
1. Fall Routines Make Adding Habits Easier
When school starts, everyone’s schedule shifts. That might mean early drop-offs, afternoon sports practices, or evening homework time. While it may feel busy, it also means your days have more consistency than summer.
That consistency is gold. When you know what to expect, it’s easier to carve out time for yourself. Want to fit in three workouts per week? The best time to schedule them is when your calendar is already adjusting.
Think of it this way: if you’re starting a new routine, it’s much easier to build it into a season of change than to wedge it into “business as usual.”
2. You’ll Feel Better Through the Holidays
The holidays can be one of the toughest times to stay on track with health and fitness. But here’s the secret: if you start building momentum in September, you’ll roll into the holidays already feeling stronger, leaner, and more energized.
Instead of hitting November stressed and tired, wishing you had more energy, you’ll have a foundation that helps you enjoy the season. You’ll be able to indulge without guilt and bounce back quickly because the routine is already in place.
Would you rather be starting over in January—or celebrating the progress you’ve already made?
3. Accountability Turns Intentions Into Action
Let’s be real: it’s easy to say you’ll work out on your own. It’s harder to actually do it when the laundry piles up, emails ding, and kids need dinner.
That’s why coaching matters. At FRVR FIT, we don’t just give you workouts—we give you accountability, encouragement, and a plan that actually fits your life. You’ll know exactly what to do every time you walk in the door, and you’ll have a coach making sure you stay consistent.
The result? You get stronger, leaner, and more confident—not someday, but now.
Don’t Wait for January motivation
One of the biggest traps we see is waiting for the “perfect” time. Here’s the truth: there is no perfect time. Life won’t calm down. The kids will always have activities, work will always be demanding, and there will always be something on the calendar.
The people who succeed are the ones who start anyway—and fall is the perfect season to do it.
So if you’ve been thinking about getting back into a routine, don’t wait until January. Start now, when the momentum of a new season is already working in your favor.
