No pain, no gain (or "No gain without pain") is an exercise motto that came to prominence in the bodybuilding community. It expresses the belief that solid large muscle is a result from hard training and repeatedly suffering sore muscles, implying that those who avoid pain will never reach professional level of bodybuilder.

The expression has also been adopted in other areas, notably as a slogan implying that attempts to make progress in some personal goal, that avoid discomfort, are in a way illegitimate or cheating, and probably (in the view of the speaker) will either fail or not last, because of the use of a shortcut. For example, weight loss which is planned to be achieved through stomach surgery rather than by the long term self-denial of dieting.

The earliest version of this I've heard was Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) who wrote "Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stark" which is "What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger."

Same thing.
