She wrote one for you last year and she has done it again! Trainer Tracey’s 26 truths you may not want to hear, but need to. No trends, no shortcuts, no excuses.
You may want to cover any vulnerable areas here - if you are someone who is particularly sensitive to truth. The following list was written to a live audience. If you are a living, breathing human, then this is for you.
Without further ado: Trainer Tracey’s 26 as you head into ‘26.
The workout you’re avoiding is probably the one you need most.
No program works if you don’t actually do it.
Your body adapts to what you repeatedly demand of it.
You don’t need motiviation, you need discipline.
If your plan depends on when life slows down, it is not a plan. (It’s an excuse.)
Progress is slow, quitting is instant.
Results don’t come from comfort, growth lives in effort.
If it was easy, everyone would be fit.
Perfect form matters more than heavy weight.
The scale is a tool, not a judge.
Consistency beats intensity EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
You can’t out train a bad diet - just stop trying.
Form first. Ego last. The hospital sees plenty of ‘strong’ people.
No one is coming to fix your health. Pick up the weights.
Rest days are a part of training, not a sign of weakness.
More workouts won’t fix bad sleep or worse habits.
Athletes are built, not born. And the same goes for confidence.
Sweat doesn’t equal progress. Smart work does.
Your warmup is not optional, neither is your recovery.
If you’re always sore, you’re not hard-core - you’re under recovered.
Short and focused workouts beat long distracted ones every time.
Excuses burn zero calories.
Motivation is a feeling; discipline is a skill. Learn it.
Strength training will not make you bulky.
Don’t be someone who only appreciates their health when they can’t do something. Appreciate your capabilities.
This list won’t change you - only actions can do that.
