How do I push myself to keep going to the gym and give 100% when I’m depressed and sad?

Don't give 100%.

Just got and do something. Something is better than nothing.

If you're sad, give yourself permission to just do the things you enjoy most at the gym. Have a fave machine? Use it! Always wanted to try the battle ropes? Give em a go!

My go to when I was at a garage gym was asking for the sledgehammer and heading to the back to do tire smashes. Sometimes even in my office clothes over lunch if it's been a shit day.

You don't have to give it your all every time. Just go and give what you can.

ON days i'm feeling good I will do normal work out, But I also have a plan in place for days i feel like shit and I will do less hard exercise like walking, or swimming, or light jog something that still gets me moving but is also therapeutic to my mental well being

Ignore feelings. I never have this problem because I train at home while watching stuff like this:

put it on your calendar. Add a reminder to your phone. Make a deal with yourself. Every time you go to the gym for 2 weeks consecutively, buy yourself a shirt or something you want.

Find a workout partner, and see a doctor if your depression doesn't go away.
