The Tipping Point to Transformation - A Four Part Series

Adria Lombardi • August 9, 2025
Making a big change, like starting a fitness journey, isn't a single event…it is a process. We don't just wake up one day and have new habits. There is a series of phases that we will go through before we actually start to see the habits change.
Here are the three phases that I will cover in this series: 

  1. Contemplation or the Ah-ha phase - This is the realization phase where you begin to acknowledge that a problem exists and are seriously thinking about changing. You are weighing the pros and cons of making a change.

2. Preparation or the I’m Ready Phase-In this stage, you have decided to make a change and are actively planning for it. You set goals, gather information, and prepare to take action for the near future.


3. Taking Action - This is the phase where you actively change your behavior. You are putting a plan into practice and working to modify your lifestyle.


Before you can begin this process, you must be honest with yourself. This means acknowledging the habits you've been tolerating…the ones that have brought you to this moment. Taking responsibility for your past is the powerful first step that will allow you to take responsibility for your future.

This series will guide you through the different stages of change, helping you pinpoint where you are on your journey right now. The process isn’t always a straight line, and the stages can often overlap. We’re working toward progress, not perfection.

After reading about the phases, which one do you feel you're in right now: Contemplation, Preparation, or Action?


Identifying your phase is just the first step. In the next post of this series, we'll dive deeper into the Contemplation or “Ah-ha” Phase, with stories and examples to help you identify your own turning point.

I'm excited to hear from you!

Preparation: The “I’m Ready” Stage This is the phase where you’ve decided it’s time to make a change. You’re actively planning, setting goals, gathering information, and clearing space in your life to take action. The Preparation Stage isn’t just for the very beginning — it can come up multiple times throughout your fitness journey. Anytime you need to adjust, grow, or take things to the next level, this stage is key.
