Mackenzie has already made a plan to start exercising three times a week when her gym membership begins in two weeks, which puts her in the preparation stage of change in the Transtheoretical Model. The precontemplation stage is characterized by a lack of awareness or intention to change, the contemplation stage involves considering the pros and cons of change without a specific plan, the action stage involves actively implementing the change, and the maintenance stage involves sustaining the change over time.
