Do you live in Long Beach and want an exercise buddy?

Do you live in Long Beach, California and want an exercise buddy, somebody to help keep you accountable and a friend?

I have a gym membership to LA Fitness that will allow me to bring in a buddy if you don't have a membership there. I'm also into running, though I am pretty slow, but would love somebody who's interested in getting fit and healthy to work out with and encourage each other. I'm also pretty friendless in LA (more specifically in the Southbay!) and would love to have a friend too.

I'm 24 and looking to work off another 70ish pounds (I'm down 35 so far!). I'm into running but have some knee pain problems, so I sometimes have to take time off from doing so. I want to run the LA marathon next year (it's an ambitious goal!) and after beginning running in September (where I couldn't even run for a single minute straight!) I can now run 4 miles. I am starting to do weight lifting too, so if you're interested in that as well, it would be great if we can be eachothers spotters! I'm hoping to work out like 4-5 times a week, but I understand if you couldn't do that much.

More about me:
-I'm childless (I have no kids), which I would also prefer in a workout buddy but parents are fine too as long as you're willing to make time for yourself
-I'm into pop punk and hardcore punk music and love going to concerts (surviving a mosh pit is the best workout, you know?). Major bonus points if you are too.
-I work full-time, so I do have a fairly structured schedule to work around but I can definitely make time for the gym!
-I'm vegetarian but will never preach my beliefs down your throat so long as you respect my dietary choice

If you're interested, please send me a message! I would really like to make an exercise buddy and a friend, so hopefully there is somebody out there!

And if I get more than one response, maybe we can form an exercise group!

Thanks,
Brit
