“The allure of socialising instead of working out can turn clients off training in the summer months,” says Chamron. “That fear of missing out can get the better of clients. Training might seem more like a chore when there’s the potential for fun to be had.”

If you’re finding it difficult to strap on your runners or make it to a class, then changing up your regular routine and incorporating something new might be just the ticket.

The Conqueror is an online platform that sets virtual fitness challenges to help spice up your motivation, especially during the summer months. From Mount Kilimanjaro to Yellowstone Park, there’s a whole host of challenges and routes to explore at a time and pace that suits you. Plus, you’ll receive a medal at the end of every challenge. Fantasy fan? There’s even a THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenges Series to complete, should you wish to explore the Shire or the Mines Of Moria.

Chamron insists that it’s important to plan your schedule to accommodate both training and socialising over the summer so the dreaded FOMO doesn’t kick in.

“The buddy system has lasted the test of time,” she adds. “Find your ride-or-die training buddy to help motivate each other.”

Also, community is key. Training with others has been shown to boost motivation and using a gamification function like the ones offered on The Conqueror is a great way to add excitment to your routine.

You can travel the world virtually and set goals, either individually, with friends or with other members of The Conqueror online community, plus, you can set your own pace with each individual challenge to suit the warmer summer months. Too hot? Take a gentle walk to help reach your target.
