The hardest part of working out is getting started. That’s why I’ve put together this collection of fitness motivation quotes to help inspire you to move each day.
Sometimes all it takes are the right words to change our mindset and spur us to action. I hope these quotes motivate you towards your fitness goals.
Fitness Motivation Quotes
Fitness is important to me. I am a happier person, a more productive person, and a better wife and mother when I am fit and healthy. Because exercise is important to me, I have several mechanisms in place to make sure I do it.
First, I rely on peer pressure. I am much better at sticking to my workouts when I have a friend who is counting on me to be there.
Second, I lay out workout clothes the night before so that I’m dressed to workout before I’m even fully awake.
Third, I post motivational pictures and quotes in the places I need them most—my bathroom mirror, the refrigerator door, on my cell phone.
I can’t help you find a workout partner or lay out your clothes for you, but I can share my favorite fitness motivation quotes with you. Hopefully one or more of these will help you on a day when you might otherwise skip your workout.
More Fitness Motivation
Getting started is usually my biggest challenge when it comes to exercise, but the other is time. With so many things to do, it’s hard to set aside a large chunk of each day to workout.
That’s why I try a lot of different types of workouts that I can do anywhere, anytime. Here are some of my favorites:
- Easy Anytime, Anywhere Workouts
- Quick and Easy Workouts at Home
- Wakeup Workout
- Martial Arts Inspired Workout
- Couch Potato Workout
- Fast Full Body Workout

These quotes are for much more then just working out-nothing could ever motivate me for that-but they do motivate me to keep on going and doing all that needs to be done!

Love those, I too love fitness. My husband laughs at me and compares me to a dog (yeah love that!) He says I sit patiently until dinner is over and then am ready to bolt out the door ready to run once it is okay to do so. I do love to run alone though, it is my time where the world is quiet and relaxing. I love all of those quotes.
Kathy Hadley says
I love great positive quotes like these. Thanks.
It is amazing how everything starts with a mindset.
I got into being able to exercise daily and consistently when I decided that I just “moved my body in a fun way until I swear” rather than calling it exercise and that is what did it for me. 🙂
It is all about the joyful journey in my world. 🙂

Watching videos really works for me.
Every time I open youtube and Write ‘greg plitt motivational’ it’s enough to get me going for the gym.
This inspired me to create short amateur motivational video 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaDBO9irV5I
