Your fitness goals are not something that should ever be put off to the side. No matter what your time restrictions are, there will be someone with even less time outperforming you every step of the way. Why? Because they have their priorities in order.
Whether you are an adult hoping to lose 10lbs or a High School athlete looking to earn a college scholarship, schedules will always change and get in the way of an "easy" workout schedule. This gives you two options: Quit or FIGURE IT OUT.
It might sound harsh, but can you honestly think of another solution? If something comes up and your first reaction is to cancel your workout, you will never find success. I can't speak for other companies, but we never hesitate to reschedule a session. If cancelling is your go to move, failure is going to be your go to result. A Monday Night conflict can easily be fixed by waking up 30 minutes earlier on Tuesday for a quick run or bodyweight workout in your living room. An email or text to your Trainer/Coach saying "Hey tomorrow doesn't work, do you have an opening later this week or could you send me an At-Home routine" will do more for your health/body/performance than another night on the couch watching TV.

The human body cannot progress if the workouts are not consistent. If your training is a cycle of 3 hard weeks of training followed by 2 weeks OFF, your body will either stay the same or decline. No one should expect 100% 52 weeks a year, but 100% most of the time and 70-80% when things get tough will deliver results most could never imagine.

Tips for when you can hit the Gym:
1: RESCHEDULE! This is the best and easiest solution
2: Request an At-Home Program: This might not be free and probably not as great as the gym workout, but most Coaches/Trainers know their Athletes/Clients well enough to give them something that will CRUSH them and continue to work towards their goals.
3: Punishment: Make a deal with yourself. If you miss a workout you must do... For example, "If I miss a Tuesday Night Workout, I must do 100 Sit-ups, Push-ups, and Squats before watching any TV on Wednesday". Probably not as hard as your scheduled routine, but this could act as a nice change to shock the body and keep your momentum and confidence up.
