Even if you don\u2019t always want to walk into<\/em> to the fitness studio, you most likely walk out feeling like a million bucks. And while endorphins<\/a> have something to do with it, there\u2019s probably another reason you\u2019re riding an emotional high: your instructor.<\/p>\n

Of course, personalities and coaching styles vary from trainer to trainer, but more often than not, an upbeat, inspirational instructor can give you the personal push you need to tackle any challenge. A pro\u2019s guidance and positivity should help you feel accomplished by the final stretch<\/a>, and that confidence boost can easily transcend the studio, too.<\/p>\n

To take your sense of achievement from the classroom to everyday life, we found out the exact words body- and ability-positive fit pros use to motivate<\/a> and build morale. So, the next time you\u2019re doubting yourself or lacking inspiration, repeat one of these confidence-building mantras below.<\/p>\n

1. “Your workout, your body, your time, your life.”<\/h3>\n

With demanding schedules and seemingly never-ending to-do lists, fitting in fitness<\/a> can sometimes seem like a chore. But if you\u2019re not 100 percent into your workout, your performance can certainly suffer \u2014 and then your confidence plummets, too. Sadie Kurzban<\/a>, founder of the dance cardio craze 305 Fitness<\/a>, loves this mantra to get your head in the game. \u201c<\/strong>It empowers clients to remember that they have the choice,\u201d she says. \u201cSo it both takes the pressure off and encourages them to take ownership over their time.\u201d No matter what, always give yourself credit for showing up.<\/p>\n

2. “Take a second and acknowledge where you’re at right now.\u201d<\/h3>\n

At times, the expectations we create for ourselves are not in sync with reality. Though it\u2019s important to push hard and set big goals<\/a>, we occasionally set sights outside of our reach and end up disappointed and discouraged. Kat Ellis<\/a>, head instructor of Uplift Studios<\/a>, uses this quote when the going gets tough and success seems impossible. Pause for a moment to reflect on your current condition and how far you\u2019ve come. Then, just make an effort to do the best you can in the current moment. \u201cControl is yours for the taking,” she says.<\/p>\n

3. \u201cIf you can face yourself, you can face anyone or anything.\u201d<\/h3>\n

\u201cHow you face challenges in this room reflects how you handle adversity outside the walls,\u201d says Gerren Liles<\/a>, a fitness instructor at Equinox<\/a>, who knows a thing or two about challenges. His workouts are notoriously tough (and effective!). Especially relevant in a sweat-drenched room with floor-to-ceiling mirrors, taking a long, hard look at how you react to difficult situations can be very enlightening. So the next time you\u2019re confronted with an obstacle \u2014 be it a burpee<\/a> or a tough conversation \u2014 step outside yourself and take a second to assess if your response is serving your progress.<\/p>\n

4. \u201cWhen you really want it, you are unstoppable.\u201d<\/h3>\n

The intenSati method<\/a>, founded by Patricia Moreno<\/a>, is all about using your words (and workout) to make positive<\/a> changes in your daily life. If you consistently find yourself uninspired to work toward a goal, you might want to reassess how bad you actually want it \u2014 and the reason you started going for it in the first place. It\u2019s freeing to let go of what we\u2019re \u201csupposed\u201d to do, and therefore create room to focus on what really matters to you. Once you identify your driving force, you just might find ease in the process.<\/p>\n

5. \u201cDoes it hurt, or is it really hard? Because it\u2019s OK for things to be hard.\u201d<\/h3>\n

When faced with a particularly tough situation (whether physical or emotional) it can be tempting to shy away from it. But as Anula Maiberg<\/a>, co-owner of Sixth Street Pilates<\/a>,<\/u> advises clients, it\u2019s important to decipher a truly painful experience from a difficult challenge<\/a>. Most of the time, it\u2019s the latter. And in that case, remind yourself that the discomfort is only temporary. It will help propel you to victory.<\/p>\n

6. \u201cIf it doesn\u2019t challenge you, it doesn\u2019t change you\u24c7.\u201d<\/h3>\n

You may have heard Core Fusion co-creator and Barre Fitness<\/em><\/a> co-author Fred DeVito\u2019s<\/a> succinct message in other classes. (It\u2019s so popular, it\u2019s trademarked!) But it\u2019s one that serves as a solid mantra. Very simply: If you want to make a change, it won\u2019t happen magically. You have to work for it. Focus on the positive outcome and it just might help you find the extra push you need to keep going.<\/p>\n

7. \u201cAsk yourself for more.\u201d<\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re gritting your teeth through a tough move like jump squats or plyometric<\/a> lunges, it\u2019s easy to want to quit. That\u2019s why Daily Burn 365<\/a> trainer, Dara Theodore<\/a> repeats this mantra. \u201cIt\u2019s just a matter of reminding yourself that you do<\/em> have more in the tank, you just have to summon it,\u201d she says. It\u2019s also a good life mantra, too. Putting in the extra effort and doing more than what\u2019s asked can go a long way in terms of career success and overall kindness and happiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
