    Wife and I go. We do the same lifts.
    It's nice, most the time.

    Oh wow, and here I thought I was being a meanie by not going with anyone. I'm a lot more comfy being alone. My gym is kinda clique-y and most everyone goes accompanied, but I like being alone or with the trainer.

    Nope, not a meanie at all! Everyone is different and some just like to do workouts alone. I also like working out alone because I can get it done a lot quicker; no chatting, etc...

    I've always enjoyed having a (consistent) training partner, it really helps to have someone to give me that much needed spot and push me past my comfort zone. My current partner is awesome, and is also a member here. However, I've had some in the past, that weren't as dedicated, in which case I'd rather train alone.

    I have 4 "workout" buddies that I couldn't live without. We push each other and if I didn't know they were there waiting on me I probably wouldn't go. I am thankful for them and surprised and how many like working out alone. To each his own.

    I go alone right now, but that's only because my husband is overseas. Once he gets home I'll have my gym buddy back! :drinker:
