make it more convenient to go than to not go - hack your routine. Once you're there, you'll be less likely to resist the small amount of effort to actually work out. Leave your work access card (or some other daily essential) in a locker overnight if they'll let you, so you have to go to the gym in the morning no matter what. Take pre-workout in a morning or before you leave work so you have too much energy to _not_ go to the gym. You only need to bootstrap the habit. Then it becomes natural.
