Does your ADHD interfere with having consistency in sports? (self.adhd)

I'm currently being diagnosed for ADHD (i probably have it but i still need the confirmation from my therapist), and I was wondering if you have problems being consistent with physical activities.

I always start very confident and very excited, but after a couple of weekend the thing dies down.

Even if I force myself to pay and go to the gym, I often don't reach the end of the subscription and quit.

This is also a problem with home exercises, running, hiking...

I’ve always hated the gym, because I’ve never enjoyed sports for their own sake. I mean, I’ve never enjoyed sports at all, really, but gyms are horrific places for me.
