Periodization
Periodization is organizing training into blocks with different goals and loads over time, so an athlete arrives at a given moment in the best possible state and stops stalling. It structures how volume and intensity vary week to week and month to month, instead of repeating the same stimulus indefinitely.

In practice
For a general client training three times a week with no competition on the calendar, elaborate periodization is almost never the missing piece. The missing piece is usually consistency and a progression somebody actually reviews.
