I just got back from a session with a personal trainer, for exactly this reason.
On any given day, I cannot find the self-motivation to go to the gym and do a real workout. Even if I have a good gym in the building I live in.
But once I'm paying someone- pre-paying no less- for training sessions, then I do not ever miss a day. So all I need is the motivation to get fit one time, and then drop a huge amount of money at that one time.
Oh, what's that? Sunk cost fallacy you say? Doesn't seem to impact this process in me and I'm not about to convince my lazy brain that it should.
