One of the ways I reward myself for going to the gym is by having nice shower gel. At home, I just use some cheap basic stuff. At the gym, I indulge with some Dove stuff that smells nice.

I keep two types of shower products: upscale, nice-smelling shampoo and conditioner and perfumed bath gel, and normal drugstore stuff. When I have worked out in the morning before my shower, I use the good stuff, and when I haven't, I use the cheap stuff. Every time I take a shower after I work out, I'm rewarding myself for sticking to my goals, and every time I have to use the normal stuff, I'm reminded to get back on track.
MORE INFORMATION:
You can find travel sizes of most upscale bath products that fit well into a gym bag without taking up much room.
instead of starting my day of by getting showered and dressed, make up and all; I start the day by dressing in my gym clothes right away. This way I know I am going to the gym at some point and look forward to doing it sooner than later so I can take that great hot shower, put my make up and nice clothes on. It has really made a difference in getting to the gym each day208
I find that if I pack my gym bag with a nice body scrub, some shampoo I like, special moisturizer etc to shower at the gym post workout, I am more motivated to get to the gym. It feels great to be clean and pampered afterwards and I am always in a positive mood & filled with energy!
