4 Habits of Clients Who Get the Best Results

At Still Got It Fitness, we’ve worked with hundreds of clients over the age of 50—and while everyone’s journey is unique, there are a few key habits that consistently lead to success. Whether your goal is to move better, feel stronger, or simply stay active as you age, these four habits can make all the difference.

1. They’re Consistent

The number one trait we see in clients who thrive? Consistency. They commit to their workouts and make exercise a non-negotiable part of their routine. Life gets busy—but the clients who prioritize their health and stick to the plan see lasting progress.

2. They Follow the Right Program

Successful clients don’t rely on just one type of exercise. They follow a well-rounded program that includes:

• Strength training to build and maintain muscle

• Functional exercises that mimic everyday movements

• Balance and mobility work to reduce fall risk

• Cardiovascular training for heart health and stamina

Our Functional Training and Life Fit classes are packed with exercises that improve real-life movement patterns. Our Balance and Mobility classes are great for preventing falls. However, these classes alone won’t build the kind of strength that comes from personal training.

That’s why all of our personal training memberships include unlimited access to group classes—so your trainer can customize your workouts while you still benefit from variety and community support.

3. They Start Sooner Rather Than Later

As we age, we naturally lose strength, endurance, balance, and flexibility. But this decline isn’t inevitable—it can be slowed or even reversed with the right kind of exercise. The earlier you begin a structured fitness program, the better your results will be and the easier daily life becomes.

4. They Stay Active Outside the Gym

What you do outside the gym matters just as much as what you do inside it. Our most successful clients keep moving with activities they enjoy—whether it’s walking, playing golf or pickleball, gardening, or just staying on their feet throughout the day. Staying active in daily life supports the work you’re doing in your workouts.
