Take It Easy

There’s no need to put pressure on yourself to give it your all at the gym when you’re having a bad mental health day. Take baby steps and work out for as long as you feel comfortable, even if it means you won’t do all the exercises you were intending with full intensity.

Do What You Love

If there are any parts of your fitness routine that you constantly struggle with and can’t fully commit to, feel free to skip them on the days when you’re feeling low. It will be much harder to commit to working out if you’re pushing yourself to do things that you don’t love.

Stay on the Move

Going to the gym and doing your regular fitness routine isn’t the only way to stay active. Walking, hiking, dancing, or cycling also allows you to stay on the move, and it’s a better option for bad mental health days.

You’re Not Making Progress

Three to six months is enough time to know if a fitness routine or trainer suits your needs. If you’ve been following your trainer’s instructions, but you still don’t see any results, it’s time to have a talk with them. Either reconsider your routine and goals, or find a better personal trainer.

They’re Not Tracking Your Progress

Weight, circumference measurements, and strength are some of the measurements personal trainers should take in order to track their clients’ progress. If your trainer is not doing this on a monthly basis, there’s no way to track your achievements and you should probably find a new trainer.

Lack of Focus

A personal trainer should be there to motivate and work with you in order to help you achieve your fitness goals, and if they’re not entirely dedicated to the job you’re free to find someone better. A trainer who is often late, distracted by their phone, or doesn’t have time to answer your questions is certainly not worth your money.
