How the clue works
The definition is motivation for fitness class, referring to the well-known gym mantra "no pain no gain". The wordplay starts with NO, short for "number", placed before an anagram of "on Paganini" — indicated by "turning" — which rearranges to give PAINNOGAIN. The phrase "to begin" tells us that NO comes first, before the anagram. Together: NO + PAINNOGAIN = NO PAIN NO GAIN.
