If you’ve been thinking about joining a gym but keep telling yourself, “I just need to get a bit fitter first,” you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common limiting beliefs we hear — and one that’s stopping thousands of people over 40 from making real progress. Here’s why waiting to feel “ready” is the exact thing holding you back.
We hear this all the time — especially from busy parents and professionals in their 40s and 50s:
"I’ll start once I drop a few kilos."
"I just need to get back into a rhythm first."
"I don’t want to be the unfit one in the room."
But here’s the truth:
You don’t need to be fit before you start — you get fit by starting.
At RFT, we specialise in coaching people who are starting again.
Whether you’ve been out of the gym for 2 years or 20, we meet you exactly where you’re at.
And then? We help you build strength, consistency, and confidence — one session at a time.
Waiting to feel “fit enough” delays your progress and reinforces the idea that you’re not capable yet.
But here’s what’s really happening:
The reality? Most of our most successful clients started when they didn’t feel ready.
And that’s exactly why it worked.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You need:
✅ A coach who understands your lifestyle
✅ A program designed for real people (not 25-year-old athletes)
✅ A supportive environment where you don’t feel judged
✅ A system that values progress over punishment
That’s what we do at RFT — and that’s why people stay.
If you’ve been thinking about getting started, but keep putting it off until “later” — this is your sign.
