I'm not a fan either but if you set a goal you want to reach by using exercise then it's much easier to show up at the gym.

Example, I have certain weight lifting goals that I want to meet so I go to the gym to work toward them.

Bottom line, decide on a goal for some activity that you like that involves going to the gym. That will be your motivation. Lifting weights over and over seems pretty stupid to me but once i add a goal it changes everything.

Look into joining a triathlon competition. It really gets you motivated to at least get in shape to complete it.
