Why most people can’t stay consistent with exercise — even when they know better.
After decades in this field, one pattern never changes:
inconsistency isn’t about motivation, discipline, or willpower.
It’s psychological. That’s exactly what I break down in my accredited course (taught live over Zoom):
“Why Consistent Exercise Eludes Us: A Psychological Insight.”
The course is designed for trainers, coaches, and health professionals and offers CECs. It explains why traditional approaches fail — and what actually works instead, using evidence-based psychology rather than slogans.
If you’ve ever watched clients (or yourself) start strong and slowly fade, this will likely make uncomfortable sense.

TESTIMONIALS:
From Chris Wong, Personal Trainer
"I've been a personal trainer for almost 30 years and thought I had a pretty good handle on the psychology of fitness and what prevents people from getting fit. But through Mike's course and the way in which he explains things in layman terms, I was able to learn so much more. I can honestly say that my entire approach to fitness psychology has now changed. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of the psychology behind fitness."

From Grace Lankani, Fitness & Wellness Trainer, Goodlife Fitness
"I have never in my life seen instructor so consistently maintain the same energy and positive attitude throughout the whole course of "Why Consistent Exercise Eludes Us: A Psychological Insight" that I took with MIKE KELLY of We Mean Fitness.
MIKE is patient, humorous, understanding, professional, and has great knowledge about the subject matter. It’s rare to have these qualities all in one instructor.
As a fitness and wellness trainer, I am very happy and satisfied in my decision to attend this course. It was a great experience, and I have learned “A LOT”. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you Mike"

Hi ,
I'm excited to run the next session of the newly revamped version of my popular course, now titled “Why Consistent Exercise Eludes Us: A Psychological Insight”—inspired by my recent TEDx Talk (which can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNb6VAnEkUA ).

🕘 Time: 9:00 AM – 4:15 PM EST (Live on Zoom)

Most people struggle with exercise consistency—and it's not about laziness. It’s rooted in how our brains evolved. This course explains why, and more importantly, how to help yourself and others stay active for life.
Course format:
Module 1: Pre-recorded (watch anytime)
Module 2: One-day Live Virtual session (no exam)

As health professionals, we often promote exercise as fun—but for many, that message falls flat. This course explores the real psychological roadblocks to lifelong consistency and provides tools to break through them.
With over 45 years of experience—including a Psychology degree from Queen’s University and roles as varsity S&C coach and canfitpro PRO TRAINER—I’m bringing practical, evidence-based strategies to the table.

⭐️ “Mike is patient, humorous, and incredibly knowledgeable. I’ve learned A LOT. Highly recommended!”
