Fitness on the Go: How a Little Planning Keeps You Consistent

Recently, I was visiting my parents in South Carolina, and before I even packed my bag, I did something small that made a big difference: I found a gym just 4 minutes from their house that offers day passes.

Now let me be clear—you don’t have to find a gym every time you travel. But if you’re chasing a serious goal—whether that’s strength, endurance, fat loss, or something entirely different—having a plan matters.

Winging it can work sometimes, but if you’re aiming for real progress, consistency and intention will always win. When you plan ahead—even in small ways—you make it easier to follow through. You’re not relying on motivation alone.

So the next time you’re heading out of town, consider:

• What’s one thing I can do to support my goal while away?

• How can I remove some of the friction?

  
  

It doesn’t have to be complicated. It just has to be thoughtful. Because your goals don’t go on vacation—even when you do.
