It gets pretty lonely doing the same workout at home by yourself surrounded by the same 4 walls everyday. I don't have any friends who are willing to workout at my level. I don't really even need anyone to workout with, just someone to talk to fitness and dieting about. If anyone of you have experienced this loneliness, how did you cope with it?

    I joined a gym. You could also try a meetup group.

    ^^^ This I lead and organize a few different Meetup groups. One of them is a hiking group. We go out and hit the trail allll the time. We have different hikes for different fitness levels. There are also bootcamp style Meetups. Like you I work out at home. Not that bad, I can grunt more!!! lol.....

    Try a bootcamp, running group or sports team. All fantastic ways to meet other people who are into fitness. For non-fitness related friends try doing a short course about something you're interested in (cooking, language, photography) or volunteer for a local organisation. You'll gain new skills and hopefully meet some people with similar interests.

    MFP is great to examine and discuss health and fitness.

    But for workout partners, as another suggested, a gym or MeetUp are good options.

    I actually prefer to work out alone. When I want to talk fitness, I come here.

    When I said you don't want him it indicated that nobody wants him.

    I prefer working out by myself. I don't get lonely, I just get super focused on what I'm doing. I don't like chit-chatting. Exercise is sort of meditative for me. Maybe if you find a form of exercise that you really really like, working out alone wont be so bad and you may learn to like it.

    Alternatively, you could take classes at your local gym. I do Zumba every week and it's a lot of fun and you definitely won't be lonely.
