    I just recently started working out with my brother.. I enjoy it. We play basketball or some other games/cardio and then do our separate routines. Usually though I go by myself. I like it that way... it's my time alone and I can concentrate and focus on me :)

    With several people. I love group workouts. Quite frankly, doing martial arts its almost impossible to hold your own pads.

    In addition, I like the group setting for every workout. I find it more motivating to be with friends who actually push each other.

    I go alone mainly, my co-worker wants to start going with me so I can teach her some lifting things. I'm not sure how that will go lol. The boyfriend has never seen me train, as in lift weights or any of the plyo stuff I do but he has been with me at races ect.

    I always work out on my, I do enjoy just being by myself, switched off to the world with my headphones in. And sometimes I just need to visit the gym for that stress relief and get away from everyone/thing.


    Saying this, I would quite like to have a training partner some days as I think I would be able to push myself harder with the help of a spotter.

    I was going with my sister. We would chit chat while doing cardio but go our seperate ways on our routines.
    For a month I have been going alone and I liked it.. but now I want some company lol

    I used to go with my neice all the time, then she got a part time job and was finishing college. Soooo I made friends with one of the regs (female) so now, sometimes we hop on cardio machines next to each other and shoot the breeze, then we go our own ways for our routines :smile: I like it either way.

    At home, usually alone. My husband has collected pretty much every piece of fitness equipment a person could possibly want in our basement, for which I am very grateful because I hate working out with an audience. We have a treadmill, a rower, lots of weights and lifting equipment, and (most importantly) a TV. Of course, I wouldn't mind if he were working out at the same time but our schedules rarely come together that way.

    I like to work out alone at home and I walk / run with a buddy...there is way to many creeps at the park to be alone.

    I prefer alone, but don't mind if there's someone else to lift with.

    And I LOVE when I get to run with my 2 daughters....it just rarely happens.

    I like going with someone just because I don't feel like I'm rushing through my workout. I give my muscles a little rest in between reps. Even tho going by myself and my headphones was pretty awesome! I did find I walked around a little aimlessly at first cos I planned on doing biceps and shoulders, but coachman last minute said shoulders and back. But after the first exercise I was game!

    I don't really like lifting or running. I get most of my "fun" exercise playing basketball or some sports.

    Alone. Just easier to go on my schedule without having to worry about another person. And it's my me time. It is sometimes useful to have a spotter though.

    With someone, more motivation. I must win all things. But I'm fine with alone if there's no one around.

    I like to have friends there with me to keep me accountable (ie get me to get to the gym) but I like to be in my zone by myself. So I don't care what the friends are doing, just that they are there and expecting to see me!

    Turns out I prefer alone. Hubby and I tried working out together, turns out the only thing that go worked out was our jaw muscles. I had to say to him love you, mean it, going back to 7am by myself. Plus the gym is significantly less busy at that hour.

    I love my workouts!!!! I most of the time am by myself but I do love my days with my trainer as well ... I find it distracting with friends there .... I use my workout as my therapy I just clean my mind and go hard at it!!!
