# The gym > After several combat sports, I found a routine I could fit around my own schedule. Now I’m working on consistency and strength. Training · Consistency and strength Category: Beyond work [Open in the interactive portfolio]() [Français]() ## From combat sports to the gym Growing up, I did two years of taekwondo, a year of kung fu and two years of MMA. After a break from combat sports, I wanted a way to stay in shape again. I started going to the gym after my baccalauréat, when several friends were getting into it too. I liked being able to go when it suited me, without a fixed class time. ## Making it a habit For a long time, I would train for two or three months and then stop for another few months. Over roughly the past year, I have been much more consistent. Now I want to keep that rhythm and build strength. ## What I’m working towards I’d like to do a pull-up with an extra 30 kg, five muscle-ups, a 100 kg bench press and a 150 kg squat. Those are goals I’m working towards. Beyond that, I’d be happy training to maintain what I’ve built. I would also like to return to combat sports one day.
