Generation Z is widely recognized as a digital-native generation with strong exposure to technology and social media, which significantly influences their lifestyle, including exercise behavior and psychological development. This study aimed to analyze the levels of motivation and self-confidence among Generation Z members at Joglo Gym despite the limitations of available training facilities. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach involving 29 respondents selected through purposive sampling based on specific criteria, namely active Generation Z gym members who regularly participated in physical exercise activities. Data were collected using motivation and self-confidence questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis. The findings revealed that the average motivation score of respondents was categorized as high (127.60), while the average self-confidence score was categorized as very high (163.00). Furthermore, the correlation analysis demonstrated a significant positive relationship between motivation and self-confidence (r = 0.386; p < 0.05). These results indicate that internal psychological factors, particularly motivation and self-confidence, play a more dominant role in maintaining exercise consistency compared to external factors such as luxurious facilities or sophisticated equipment. The findings also demonstrate that Generation Z members can adapt creatively to environmental limitations while maintaining strong commitment toward achieving fitness goals. In conclusion, mental resilience through strong motivation and self-confidence is a crucial determinant of exercise adherence among Generation Z individuals. Future research is recommended to involve broader samples and explore different socioeconomic and environmental contexts to obtain more comprehensive findings.
