At CrossFit 1209, we hear it all the time: “I don’t have time to work out.” Between work, family, and daily responsibilities, it’s easy to feel like fitness doesn’t fit into your schedule. But here’s the truth—it’s not about having time; it’s about making time.
If you’ve been struggling to prioritize your health, we’ve got five practical solutions to help you break past the time barrier and finally get moving.
1. Work Out for Just One Hour
At CrossFit 1209, our classes are designed to maximize results in just 60 minutes – from warm-up to workout to cooldown. Unlike spending hours in a traditional gym figuring out what to do, we take care of the programming so you can walk in, get it done, and move on with your day.
Solution: Instead of scrolling social media or watching TV, commit one hour a few times a week to your health. You’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish in that short time!
2. Schedule It Like an Appointment
You wouldn’t cancel a meeting with your boss or skip a doctor’s appointment, right? Treat your workout with the same level of commitment.
Solution: Put your workouts on your calendar and set reminders. Whether you prefer early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, pick a time that works and stick with it.
3. Find Accountability and Make It Fun
When working out feels like a chore, it’s easy to skip. But when you’re part of a supportive, fun community like CrossFit 1209, it’s something you’ll actually look forward to.
Solution: Grab a friend, join a class, and let the energy of the group keep you motivated. Our coaches and members hold each other accountable, so skipping becomes the harder choice!
4. Prioritize Your Health Like Your Life Depends on It (Because It Does!)
If you don’t make time for your health now, you’ll be forced to make time for illness later. CrossFit isn’t just about getting stronger, it’s about building a body that supports you for life.
Solution: Shift your mindset from “I don’t have time” to “This is a non-negotiable.” Think about what being healthier will allow you to do, whether it’s keeping up with your kids, feeling more confident, or simply living longer.
5. Start Small and Build Momentum
Many people think they need to work out every day or train like an athlete to see results. That’s not true. Consistency beats intensity every time.
Solution: Start with two or three classes a week at CrossFit 1209. Once you build momentum, it’ll feel like a natural part of your routine. Plus, our coaching team will help you scale workouts so you don’t have to be in shape to start, you just have to show up.

We get it, life is busy. But your health is worth prioritizing. CrossFit 1209 is here to help you find a routine that works, so you feel stronger, healthier, and more energized, without spending hours in the gym.
