10 ways to get hyped for a workout
Struggling to find the motivation to get your sweat on? We've all been there. One minute, you're hyped about your new fitness goals and the next you're convincing yourself that scrolling TikTok from bed totally counts as ‘active recovery’. The truth is, getting started is always the hardest part. Whether you're trying to build a new habit, get stronger or just feel more energised throughout the day - we’ve got some ideas about that too, there are plenty of ways to hype yourself up and get moving.
The key? Make it something you want to do, not something you feel like you have to do. From setting quirky goals to upgrading your activewear (because let’s be real, a cute gym outfit changes everything), HyperLuxe is here to help.
Set Playful Goals
Instead of an ambiguous and boring goal like ‘I want to get fitter’, set some quirky and exciting challenges for yourself that will motivate you to get moving. How about aiming to run through an entire playlist of your favorite tunes or mastering a TikTok dance challenge? By ensuring your objectives are fun, a workout becomes something to look forward to rather than a chore.
Curate a Killer Playlist
Music has the power to pump you up and keep you energised. Create a playlist filled with your favorite high octane tunes that make you want to move. Whether it's pop, hip-hop or electronic beats, the right tunes can turn any workout into a party.
Find a Workout Buddy
Everything's better with friends, right? Partner up with a buddy who shares your fitness ambitions and will help you to keep at them. You can motivate each other, share progress and even have a little friendly competition. Plus, it's a great way to catch up with pals and have fun together.
Try Something New
Stuck in a workout rut? Shake things up by trying a new activity. From aerial yoga to kickboxing, bouldering to pole dancing, there's no shortage of fun and novel fitness classes out there. If you’re sick of your current workout routine, exploring new activities and classes can reignite your passion for fitness and keep things interesting.
Reward Yourself
Set regular milestones and reward yourself when you hit them. Eyeing off a new waterbottle, like the Hydro Flask 32oz Wide Flex Straw Cap Botanical Bliss, or a fresh pair of sunnies from Lu Goldie? Promise yourself that after you meet a goal - like achieving a new PB on a run, or attending pilates classes every week for a month, that you’ll treat yourself to something special to celebrate your achievement. There’s nothing like the promise of retail therapy to put some pep in your step!
Dress the Part with Stylish Activewear
At HyperLuxe HQ we’re firm believers that what you wear can significantly impact your mood and motivation to work out. When you look good, you feel good, and that confidence can translate into a more effective workout as well as making you feel excited to hit the gym or go for a run.

Document Your Journey
Start a fitness journal or create a dedicated social media account to document your progress and keep yourself accountable for meeting your fitness goals. Sharing your journey with friends, family and even strangers on the internet is a surprisingly effective way to motivate yourself and provide a visual reminder of how far you've come. Plus, you might inspire others or make pals along the way!
Embrace Rest Days
Rest is just as important as activity so allow yourself to take breaks and listen to your body on days when you need a break. By balancing work and rest, you'll prevent yourself from burning out or copping an injury that could get between you and your fitness goals.
Join a Community
Whether it's an online group or a local running club, being part of a fitness community is so beneficial in providing support, encouragement and accountability. Sharing experiences, challenges and successes with others is an easy way to keep yourself feeling motivated to get up off the couch.
Celebrate the Small Wins
Every step forward is a victory. Did you run an extra kilometre or master a new yoga pose? Celebrate it! Recognising and appreciating your progress, no matter how small, can keep you eager to continue on your fitness journey.
Find what works for you, keep things fun and don't be too hard on yourself. With the right mindset and a couple of cute fitness essentials from HyperLuxe, you'll be crushing your fitness goals in no time!
