Do you guys workout alone for the most part? Or do you have a partner? I workout 7 days a week and always workout alone but sometimes I really wish I had a workout partner!

    I run, MetabolicMelissa, and have found that it works best for me that way. If I were to lift, and partner would be great, IMHO.

    I always end up working out alone, mainly because my work schedule is so odd compared to the rest of the world. I stick to hiking, skiing, and running for outdoor cardio workouts and i have a gym in my basement for weight days.

    The majority of my workouts right now are classes or small group training sessions. It motivates me and pushes me harder then I tend to do alone.

    I lift on the weekends after I do my cardio and often wish I had someone there with me!

    i go alone a lot because when i work out with a partner they tend to get me off task and to lose my workout focus

    I'm a loner.

    Me too, but I'm making friends at my gym, so I can always ask for help or a spot.

    I prefer to work out with my wife, but usually I am alone.

    I prefer for people to not bother me. My husband and I go separate times during the week, but on the weekends we go together - after our 4 min warm-up, we don't really acknowledge the other one is there until we are done.

    At the gym doing weights, I prefer to be alone. That way I can get done quicker.

    If I'm going for a bike ride, I prefer to go with a few friends if they can keep up, otherwise, I'd rather do that alone as well.

    And I shouldn't say alone...I always have some tunes keeping me company.

    I always work out on my own, 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 prefer to workout alone..... I zone out everything around me and am in my own little world.. lol Now I have been at my gym for 4 years and the regulars know if they need a spot come get me and vise versa but I am a loner.... :glasses:

    sadly i've been alone ....my workout buddy's schedule changed....i do get done quicker but it was so much more fun when i had a buddy - thank goodness for headphones and Beyonce's new music !!! LOL

    i JUST told my boyfriend that he "didn't need a partner" "suck it up and just do it" ...a partner will fall into place if he would establish a set time !! LOL so insensitive

    I've been a loner for a while but I don't mind if my friends join me.

    i prefer to do cardio alone. i like to put my headphones in and just get it on. i do have a friend that likes to come with me somedays and it is nice (as long as she puts her headphones in too and doesnt want to chat it up) however i do like her there when we are doing weights. much more than when im by myself.

    I have a lifting buddy, he's about 90% reliable, My wife also joins me when she can. There are a few days when I'm alone, just means I skip the bench and do more deads and squats, which is just fine by me.
