Common Objections to Starting your Fitness Journey and How to Overcome Them

Following on from last week’s blog about waiting for the perfect time to change your fitness routine, today we’re going to take a deeper look at some other objections that can stand in your way, and how to overcome them.

We know that starting a fitness journey can feel overwhelming. We have heard every reason why people hesitate to take the first step. The truth is, these common objections often mask deeper fears or misconceptions. Let’s tackle the most frequent ones and show you why CrossFit Pi is designed to make fitness accessible, effective, and life-changing for EVERYONE.

1. “I don’t have enough time.”

Time is a precious commodity, and we get it – life is busy. That’s why our workouts are designed to maximise efficiency. In just 45-60 minutes, you’ll get a full-body workout that delivers results without wasting your time. We also offer flexible scheduling including early mornings, lunchtimes, and evenings, so you can find a time that fits your routine. Remember, there are 24 hours in a day – make one of them count for you.

2. “I’m not fit enough to start”

This is one of the most common concerns we hear, and it couldn’t be further from the truth. 

Put it this way – when is the last time you said “My hair is too long/messy to go to the hairdresser”, or “I’ll cut it a bit myself first before going”. Never. 

Starting at the gym is for everyone – no matter your starting point. Our coaches tailor every workout to your individual fitness level, offering modifications and progressions to ensure you’re challenged appropriately.

Whether you’re joining a group class or opting for personal training, you’ll receive the guidance and support you need to build confidence and strength. The hardest part is walking through the door, but once you’re here, our team and community will cheer you on every step of the way.

3. “I can’t afford it”

Investing in your health is one of the best decisions you can make. At CrossFit Pi, you’re not just paying for access to a gym – you’re investing in expert coaching, personalised guidance and a supportive community.

We offer flexible membership options to suit a variety of budgets, and our Nutrition Coaching can even help you save money by teaching you how to cook balanced, cost-effective meals at home. Think about it: people often spend a lot of money on material possessions, alcohol and holidays, but hesitate to invest in their health, which is their most valuable asset. A healthier, happier you benefits not just yourself but also the people who rely on you.

4. “I get bored easily.”

Variety is the spice of life as saying goes, and this is built into everything we do. No two workouts are the same, and our programming blends strength, cardio, and skill work to keep things exciting.

Beyond workouts, we host regular social events and fitness challenges to keep you motivated and connected to our community. 

5. “I need to think about it.”

Procrastination might feel safe, but it only delays your progress. Six months from now, you could be fitter, stronger, and healthier – OR you could still be thinking about it.

As mentioned last week, there is no perfect time to start. But every day you wait is a missed opportunity to invest in yourself. We’re here to answer your questions and guide you through your first steps. Starting is easier than you think – and the rewards are worth it.

Don’t let objections hold you back. Take the first step today and discover how CrossFit Pi can transform your life.
