We’ve all been there: life gets busy, energy runs low, and suddenly workouts fall to the bottom of the priority list. At 46 64 Fitness, we hear many reasons why people don’t exercise — but we also know the truth: these barriers are not as unbreakable as they seem. With the right mindset, tools, and support (like online training through our free app), you can turn those excuses into opportunities for lasting change.

Here are the top five reasons people give for skipping exercise — and why it’s worth reconsidering.

1. “I don’t have time.”

Between work, family, and responsibilities, free time is scarce. But the reality is, you don’t need hours in the gym to make progress. Just 20–30 minutes of focused movement a few times a week can boost energy, reduce stress, and improve overall health.

At 46 64 Fitness, we design workouts that fit into your schedule. Our online training programs let you exercise at home, at the gym, or even on the road — no wasted time commuting or waiting for equipment. The key isn’t finding time, it’s making time for yourself.

2. “I’m too tired.”

Ironically, the very thing you’re avoiding is the solution. Regular exercise increases your energy by improving circulation, oxygen flow, and stamina. Movement actually recharges your batteries.

Through 46 64 Fitness, we help clients start small and build routines that energize rather than exhaust them. Once exercise becomes part of your rhythm, you’ll notice more pep in your step — and less of that mid-day slump.

3. “I don’t know what to do.”

Walking into a gym or scrolling through endless workout videos online can feel overwhelming. Do you lift weights? Do cardio? Stretch? How often? Without guidance, many people give up before they start.

That’s where we come in. Our certified coaches at 46 64 Fitness create personalized training plans tailored to your goals, fitness level, and lifestyle. Every exercise comes with a video demonstration in our app, so you’ll never wonder if you’re “doing it right.” You’ll always know what to do — and why you’re doing it.

4. “I can’t afford a trainer.”

Traditional personal training can feel out of reach. But with online coaching, you get expert guidance, accountability, and motivation — without the high price tag of in-person sessions.

At 46 64 Fitness, we’ve made professional coaching accessible. Our clients receive customized programs, daily support through a free app, and a direct chat line to their coach. It’s like having a trainer in your pocket — one who works with your budget, not against it.

5. “I’m too old / out of shape to start.”

This is one of the most limiting beliefs we hear, and it couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, exercise is most important as we age. Building strength, balance, and mobility allows you to stay independent, reduce injury risk, and enjoy the activities you love.

We’ve helped adults of all ages — from those bouncing back after surgery to grandparents who want to keep up with their grandkids — regain confidence in movement. It’s never too late, and you are never “too far gone” to start.

Final Thought: Choose Health Over Excuses

Every excuse has a solution. At 46 64 Fitness, we’re not here to judge your starting point — we’re here to walk with you on the journey. Whether you want to lose weight, rebuild strength, or simply feel better in your own body, online training makes it flexible, affordable, and achievable.

The choice is yours: keep putting it off, or take the first step today. Your future self will thank you.
