As the New Year rolls in, many of us find ourselves setting ambitious resolutions, especially when it comes to health and fitness. But here’s the thing: long-term success isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about creating sustainable habits that fit into your life. At Reformer LDN in Shoreditch, we believe fitness should feel good, not overwhelming. Ready to make this your year? Let’s get started.
Why Resolutions Often Fail
Every January, gyms fill up, but by February, enthusiasm wanes. Why? Resolutions often fail because they’re either too vague ("get fit") or too unrealistic ("work out every day"). The key is to focus on small, actionable changes that build over time.
Instead of saying, "I’ll exercise daily," try:
"I’ll book one Reformer Pilates class a week at R LDN."
"I’ll walk to work twice a week."
"I’ll stretch for 10 minutes every morning."
These smaller, achievable steps create momentum without feeling like a chore.
The Power of Habit Stacking
A great way to build new habits is to pair them with something you already do. This technique, known as habit stacking, makes it easier to stick with your goals.
Here are some ideas:
After brushing your teeth, do a quick core stretch.
While waiting for your coffee to brew, spend 2 minutes in a plank.
After your regular Saturday morning routine, head to our Powerformer class in Shoreditch.
Linking a new habit to an existing one helps it feel natural and automatic.
Start Small, Stay Consistent
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither are fitness habits. Consistency is far more important than intensity when you’re just starting out. Here’s how to build momentum:
Commit to 5-10 minutes of movement daily.
Gradually increase the duration and intensity as you feel ready.
Celebrate small wins—
like mastering a new exercise or completing your first month of classes.
At Reformer LDN, our Powerformer Pilates classes are designed to support all fitness levels. Whether you’re starting fresh or looking for a new challenge, we’ve got your back.
Focus on the Feel-Good Factor
The best fitness habits are the ones you enjoy. If running feels like torture, try something more dynamic, like Reformer Pilates. Our classes combine strength, stretch, and mindfulness, leaving you feeling strong, relaxed, and ready to take on the day.
