How to Stay Consistent with Your Training—Even When Life Gets Busy

Let’s face it—life gets busy. Between work deadlines, social plans, and everything in between, finding time to move can feel like another item on an already full to-do list. But staying consistent with your Pilates practice isn’t just about building strength—it’s about protecting your energy, staying grounded, and showing up for yourself.

We asked our Prescription trainers how they stay consistent and prioritise movement, even when life gets hectic. Here’s what they shared:

Plan Ahead Like It’s a Meeting
"I treat my workouts like important appointments—non-negotiables. I plan my week and book my classes in advance, then adjust everything else around them." — Tati

Scheduling your sessions like you would a work meeting helps create a commitment to yourself. When it’s in the calendar, it’s real.

Move First Thing
"Morning classes are the best. Before the noise of the day begins, it’s just you and the Reformer. It’s the one part of your day you have full control over." — Sergio

Set your alarm, skip the scroll, and start your day with intention. Whether it's 10 minutes of movement or a full class, how you start your morning shapes everything that follows.

Make a To-Do List with YOU on It
"I always block out time for myself in the mornings. It helps me stay on track and prioritise what I need, not just what others need from me." — Liliana

Build in time for you—just like you would for a meeting or task. Putting yourself on the list makes it easier to follow through.

Book It, Buddy Up
"Book a class in advance or commit to going with a friend—you’ll be less likely to skip it." — Kate

Accountability matters. Sharing your movement goals with a friend (or just booking in advance) can help you stay on track.

Self-Care is Not Selfish
"If you don’t recharge yourself, you can’t show up for others. Movement is how I fill my cup." — Tati

Think of movement as part of your self-care routine, not an add-on. It's what powers everything else.

Little Habits, Big Impact
"To-do lists, good food, sleep, time with positive people… they all help me stay grounded and motivated." — Irem

'“Try starting the day with even 10 minutes of movement. Put your phone away before bed. A strong morning routine sets the tone." — Eloise

Wellness isn't just about the hour you spend on the Reformer—it’s also about the small rituals that keep you feeling good.

Bonus Tip: Let Go of What Others Think
"Stop caring what anyone else thinks—in class or in life. Everyone’s too focused on their own thing." — Lauren

Focus on your progress, your power, and your pace. Pilates is your time—make it yours.

The Bottom Line?
Staying consistent doesn’t mean being perfect. It’s about finding what works for you—your schedule, energy, priorities—and making movement a part of your life that supports (not competes with) everything else.

Your Prescription: Start small. Plan ahead. Move with intention. And remember—you're not doing it alone.
