Mindset: The Beliefs That Are Quietly Holding You Back (and How to Change Them)
Fri Feb 06 2026
Mindset might be the most overlooked driver of progress in your fitness—and in your life.
In this episode of FOF Gym Chat, we revisit the first focus of the trimester: mindset. We break down how confidence and belief are built (and lost), why self-limiting beliefs keep people stuck for years, and how the gym can be the training ground for changing how you show up everywhere else.
You’ll learn:
Why mindset is the foundation for lasting change
How confidence is earned through action, not motivation
The hidden beliefs behind sandbagging, inconsistency, and plateaus
Why tracking metrics matters more than you think
How to outwork self-doubt and stop letting training be “up for debate”
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure of what you’re capable of, or frustrated that your effort doesn’t match your results—this episode is for you.
Enjoy!
