Change into gym clothes before leaving work, if I go home chances are I'm not gonna actually go to the gym.

Iv read people that do the countdown technique. Start with a number and count down and just go don't let yourself think. But also pre-work is great I mix it with about half the water so it hits faster and harder and I can still run after the workout and not feel sloshing in my stomach

I bike to the gym, then I’m warm, but before that I usually eat a lot, it gives energy and a good feel for your body

Not being on my phone for too long (browsing reddit obviously) and pack my stuff. Once that's done I am basically good to go

There's this interesting yoga practice called 'Surya Namaskara'. It is a set of 12 postures which can be done quickly and it stretches almost all parts of the body. I do it when I feel lazy or before going to gym to warm up.

Edit: Must be done empty stomach.

I like going to the gym as soon as I wake up but find it difficult getting out of bed. So I've started showering the night before and throwing on my workout clothes before bed. I'll also pack my work clothes (I bike to work from the gym) so that as soon as I get up, all that needs to be done is washing up and brushing my teeth.

I literally shower at the gym post-workout.
