4 Actionable Tips to Achieve Better Results in Less Time

 

Getting fit and achieving your goals doesn’t have to mean spending hours at the gym. In fact, with the right approach, you can achieve better results by training smarter, not harder.

Back in my early 20s, when I was in my full fitness girl era, life was a lot simpler. I lived at home, had minimal expenses, worked my own hours, and had all the time in the world to spend in the gym and kitchen. I would literally train for two hours per session without a second thought.

Fast forward to recent years, running two businesses, a gym, managing staff, and covering over $100K in yearly expenses - life got hectic. I had to adapt and, most importantly, stop comparing my old lifestyle to my current one.

Shifting to a simpler, more time-efficient approach reaffirmed that you don’t need endless hours in the gym to achieve amazing results. With the right strategy and consistency, you can still build your dream physique, even with a busy schedule!

Here are 4 actionable tips to help you achieve better results with your training in less time!

 

1. Set Realistic Goals for Your Schedule

Consistency is key, and that starts with creating a training schedule that fits your lifestyle.

When I opened my gym and launched my activewear brand, I tried sticking to my old training routine, it didn’t work. Long sessions felt overwhelming, and I wasn’t following a structured plan because I was just getting in whatever training I could at the time, so I ended up winging my workouts without real focus or enjoyment.

Here’s what worked:

• Start small. If you’re struggling to train 3-4 days a week, start with just 2 days. Be consistent for a month, then add more sessions if you can.
• Keep it short. A 30-minute workout completed with a solid effort and intensity, that prioritising progressive overload is better than an hour of winging it or rocking up each session without a plan.
• Follow a program. Not only will following a program that is specific to your goals help you maximise your results, it will also help take the guessing games out of your training, so you're able to get the most out of the time that you do have to train!

Realistic goals = consistency. And consistency will always beat sporadic, unsustainable efforts.

 

2. Prioritise Quality Over Quantity

More isn’t always better when it comes to training. In fact, less can often yield greater results if you focus on quality.

A well-designed 2-3 day program with proper technique, intensity, and progressive overload will outperform a 5-6 day routine filled with random exercises and no real focus on progression.

My Glute Crew girls who trained with me in person is a great example of this - they train 2-3 x a week and saw incredible results because their sessions where:

• Well-structured.
• Tailored to their goals.
• Focused on lifting with proper form and intensity.
• We pushed them to lift true to their potential and apply progressive overload

Remember, showing up to the gym without a game plan won’t deliver the results you want. Instead, focus on making every rep count, and you’ll feel stronger, more confident, and more consistent over time.

Here is my Client Yasmin's incredible Glute Development from training with me consistently for years just 2x per week! 

 

3. Track and Monitor Your Progress

One of the easiest ways to stay consistent and motivated is by tracking your workouts. Logging your sessions can:

• Help you see tangible progress, like increased weights or reps.
• Keep you accountable and motivated to stick with your plan.
• Ensure you are applying progressive overload (the key to making gains).

I have always had my clients whether they have trained with me in-person or online track their progress! It is going to be extremely hard to ensure you are making progress towards your goals if you are not tracking!

My App measures all data! From your training volume, weights, PR'S, nutrition, progress pictures, steps, measurements, weight THE LOT!!!

4. Find an Accountability Buddy

Training with a friend who shares similar goals can be a game-changer. OR having a friend to just stay accountable to, you don't necessarily have to train in person together, you could send each other selfies when you're at the gym, and keep each other in check!

Why it works:

• You show up because you don’t want to let each other down.
• Training becomes more fun and social.
• You push each other to work harder and track your progress.

Maybe you are a busy Mum who struggles to take time out for yourself, find yourself a fellow busy mum who can relate to you and your time restrictions and hold each other accountable to taking even just 20 mins out 2 x a week to do a training session.

 

Let's summarise

It’s completely possible to achieve incredible results by training less. Focus on being intentional with your time, effort, and approach. Remember: quality > quantity, and sustainability is everything.
