How to Stay Consistent When Motivation Drops (February Slump Fix)


January feels exciting. New year. Fresh start. Goals on fire. But by February? The motivation begins to fade… real life kicks back in… and suddenly staying consistent feels harder than starting.


If you’re experiencing the February Slump, you’re not alone — and you’re definitely not failing. This is one of the most common times of the year for people to lose momentum.


The good news? Consistency isn’t about motivation — it’s about strategy. And with the right tools, you can push through this dip and continue building the strongest version of yourself.


Here’s how to stay on track, even when motivation disappears:

1. Focus on Showing Up, Not Being Perfect

Motivation says, “Do it when you feel like it.”
Consistency says, “Do it even when you don’t.”


You don’t need perfect energy, perfect focus, or the perfect day to work out — you just need to walk through the door. Once you’re in class, your coaches and community take care of the rest.


Brickz Tip:

Commit to just 10 minutes.
Most of the time, you’ll stay for the full workout — and feel amazing afterward.

2. Schedule Your Workouts Like an Appointment

If you wouldn’t cancel on your boss or your doctor, don’t cancel on yourself.
Treat your workouts with the same level of importance.


Pick your Sweat Sessions or Brickz Bodiez times for the week and lock them in.


Brickz Tip:

Book your classes on Sunday night — and build your week around them.

3. Lean Into the Community Energy

One of the biggest advantages of group training is that you don’t have to rely on your own motivation.

When the room is moving, the music is up, and the coach is pushing you — you naturally give more effort than you would alone.


Brickz Tip:

Find an accountability partner in class — someone who notices when you’re there (and when you’re not!).

4. Make It Fun Again

Sometimes motivation drops because the workouts feel boring or repetitive.
At Brickz Fitness, every Sweat Session is programmed differently — so you always get variety, challenge, and something fresh.


If you’re stuck, switch it up:

  • Try Brickz Bodiez (semi-private strength training)
  • Join Bootycamp or Challenges when it’s in session
  • Add yoga for recovery
  • Try a different class time for new energy


Little changes create BIG momentum.

5. Remember Your “Why”

Motivation fades when you forget the reason you started.


Ask yourself:

  • What made you walk into Brickz the first time?
  • How do you want to feel in 6 months?
  • What goals are you working toward?

Your “why” is stronger than any excuse — reconnect to it often.

6. Celebrate the Small Wins

Progress isn’t just measured in pounds or inches.


It’s in:

  • Better sleep
  • More energy
  • Stronger lifts
  • More confidence
  • Showing up even when it’s hard

Small wins keep you going — so notice them, celebrate them, and build on them.

7. Don’t Rely on Motivation — Build Discipline

Motivation is a spark.
Discipline is a habit.


February is the month where people who succeed make ONE decision: stop relying on how they feel, and start relying on what they want.


Every time you show up when you don't want to, you strengthen that discipline muscle — and THAT is what leads to real transformation.

Push Through the Slump — We’re Here With You

If your motivation has dipped, that doesn’t mean you’re falling behind — it means you’re human. And you don’t have to push through it alone.
