When working out in the gym do you prefer working out alone or with a friend?
and for people who work out with a friend how do u coordinate what you like to do?

At the moment, I'm only swimming at the gym and you have to coordinate or you bump into each other. I'd prefer to have the pool to myself though.

When I was running, it was alone, but would get pep talks and banter over the internet with running buddies from far afield. I liked that a lot.

I use to love working out circuit training with my friend bc we'd always push each other when we get tired. If we were on the treadmill we would talk the whole time so the time went by so fast. But my fave was the circuit training:happy:

both.. ... when im real mad... i like to just hit the weights by myself in my own world,, with my i pod on max... and then i need a spotter.. to help me out thats when my epic bro comes into play ... we take turn when working out pushing each other to go harder.. and we already know what we are going to do the day before... sometimes we wing it..

I usually work out alone but I do like working out with a friend every once in a while

i prefer to work out alone, like to workout hard and most of the time chat would slow the intensity x

This.

My friend used to go to the same gym, but it could be annoying (no offense) as she did not really do much and I really wanted to work out hard!

I like working out with my friend, we both work hard and chat before and after, during we make faces at each other! If I didn't go with a friend I would lose intrest pretty quickly. I like that I'm keeping an appointment with her it keeps me motivated. Though I have done some work outs at home by myself these are in frequent.

We go to classes so are told what to do!! Which I also like because I wouldn't push my self that hard

I prefer to go one my own, no distractions, no chatting. Just get in, do my set & get out. Even when I go with my OH we tend to ignore each other & consentrate on our workouts. We do catch up with each other at the juice bar afterward tho.

I work out alone, but that's mainly because a lot of my friends are really lazy and would end up convincing me to work out less and not anywhere near as intensely as I would have otherwise.

I like doing my cardio by myself, like in the cardio theater where i can just watch a movie and zone out for a few minutes on the treadmill or elliptical. But, I will say having someone to go with me when I do my weight training helps immensely. They push me to go harder, and get that one extra rep in.

I work out at home by myself but do enjoy when I have someone to do it with me.

koosdel

I prefer working out with a friend. I find myself saying "look out" a lot.

AM workouts solo. PM workouts with a friend.

I go with someone but we each do our own thing. I prefer to just put my headphones on and put my head down and just go.

I think it's more fun with a friend, but more productive when I'm by myself.

Elizabeth_C34

Alone. I like to kinda zone out and do my own thing.

I don't go to a gym, any more but when I did I liked working out by myself I was more focused on what I was doing rather than the gossip we were talking about. Not to mention we started becoming a little competitive and that wasn't good for our friendship.

servilia

Alone. I don't need the distraction and don't want to feel obligated to be connected at the hip. It might be fun on cardio machines side by side but for weight training, alone.

i work-out alone, and i actually like it. at first, my husband was going with his friend and i was jealous that they had each other, but now that i've been doing it for a few months, i enjoy the time alone. i am a great motivator to myself (i talk outloud to push through!) and i think having someone there would embarrass me. plus having 3 children, i dont' get too much time alone outside the gym!

kentlass

i prefer to do machine work on my own, but i LOVE classes where i can have some interaction too

i used to go with my sister when i first started, but now i'm 50lbs lighter and she's 100lbs heavier, so she can't keep up to my pace and i can't slow to hers, so it's not comfortable working out together

I generally prefer to work out alone. I see a trainer about once a month to switch up my routines and it's nice to have someone pushing me here and there but having someone to talk to adds an easy 15-20 minutes to my workout.

CouchSpud

Alone, with a friend distracts me and at the moment I donlt have the stamina to actually talk when doing my exercises lol... plus, I rather stay focused and have some nice music on. On the other hand, when hiking, I prefer having friends with me, but that is entirely different from going to the gym ^^
