I need a stiff kick in the...

So I really love working out, but I have always been an up at 5 am, to the gym for the 6:30. For my current job, I start at 7, so morning seasons are out. But I find it so hard to find the will to go to the gym after work. First, I am legitimately tired, I've already run for at least an hour and hiked for 3 over the course of my work day, and second the gym is 20 miles away in moderate traffic (yes, there's a perfectly close 24, but I go to a fighting gym because that's my sport). Someone please shame me into going. I just have zero motivation right now.

You either want it or you don't. No one but you can motivate you or "shame" you into going.

I dunno, my old coach and training partners where pretty good at it. "Ahh... You look slow.... Ahh.... Where you been.... Ahh you look horrible.... Like beginner..."

So then why are you asking here?

I'm not at my old gym. I'm at a new gym. No training partners there yet. I miss my old gym, obviously.

You're slow and look horrible. Go to the gym.

Maybe find a type of exercise where you don't need a gym?

I have to say, if I had to travel 20 miles to the gym, there's zero chance I would go. Still 100% chance I'd exercise.

I also ran for an hour and hiked for 3 hours today. It's not that I don't exercise outside the gym. Far from it. The closests fighting gym is 20 miles. That's my primary sport, but not my only exercise. If only I could get my roommate or neighbor to fight me...
