I was never a morning person, but just couldn't carve out the time after work to go to the gym consistently.
5 AM, my watch shakes me awake. I get out of bed immediately and turn on a light. I put on my workout clothes (laid out the night before) fast as possible. Within five minutes of waking up, I know I'm going to the gym.

I’ve been working out first thing for the last 20 years. It just becomes habit with time and honestly it wakes me up more than an extra hour of sleep. I’m usually up between 5:30-6:30 am depending on the day, clothes have been laid out the night before, and I’m on my peloton 15 minutes later.
Take about five minutes on the bike to start to feel truly awake but that’s what the warm up is for. Once you get into the habit it’ll feel so good to have your workout done!!

This.
Always have whatever you’re going to do planned the night before.
I do OTF some days, run some days, lift some days - but it’s always planned before I wake up.
The decision fatigue is real.

I hate to say it OP, but it works for me because I am a true morning person.

Have an alarm clock set for 4:05 but I naturally wake up between 3:45 and 4, can't remember the last time my alarm went off.
Key is to just get up. My schedule is
4 - 4:45 - Put on Gym Clothes that are on night stand next to bed. Glass of room temp lemon water, set out the night before, with a cover over it. Take dog out for 10 min. Then 30 - 45 min walk on my own. Cell and wifi off on my phone, listen to music or news podcast.
4:50 - 5 - light stretching.
5 -5:15 - get to gym
5:15 - 5:45/6 workout (Monday Lower Body, Tuesday Upper Push Pull, Wednesday Intense Cardio heavy interval, Thursday - Core/Bodyweight, Friday - Level 2 Cardio, Saturday Yoga or Mobility work. Still no cell or wifi on.
6 Breakfast Eggs, spinach and chicken sausage
6:15 3-5 min cold shower, get ready
6:45 Review the day
7 Head out the door / start day etc. Phone Comes On
