This isn't a big deal for me but I'm curious to know how many other people have bf/gf/spouses that train.

    She did, yeah. I wouldn't get involved with someone new who did not.

    why is that?

    Hell yeah she does...

    Fitness is important to both of us and we're setting positive examples for our kiddos.

    For one, it's something we'd have in common. The other person understands if you don't respond to a message right away. Most importantly, I prefer the look of a woman who works out over flat-assed cardio bunnies.

    Fair enough. I prefer that look too but I don't know that I'd overlook someone who didn't train.

    Mine has always done so. We do our own thing, but he's very supportive.

    Not everyone who does cardio has a flat *kitten*...

    True that. Flat *kitten* are mostly genetic

    Speaking only for myself, I would say common interests. One of the things that attracted my wife and I to each other was our common interest in being outside and being active and fitness. One of our first dates was an early morning jog...many of our dates were and still are fitness/activity related...we go on rides together, we hike together, we go to the rock climbing gym together, etc...though I no longer run with her because she's way too advanced for me, and frankly I'm not big on running.

    I also love taking the kiddos out to her races to watch and cheer her on, and vice versa. It's all a lot of fun and I really couldn't imagine being with someone who wasn't into fitness.

    You were so lucky to meet each other! I never managed to find a SO who was interested in outdoors and going to the gym regularly or, at least, once in a while.

    My first husband was obsessed with fitness and that didn't work out.

    Does she train?

    The better question is: Can she kick my *kitten* ?


    The answer is 'yes' to both questions....

    I got my ex to start working out with me before the kids and she transformed into something amazing pretty quickly. Kids happened, then she went back to being very average.

    Train in the gym? No. But we ski and hike together.

    Sadly no. Ive tried to motivate her, tried to change her diet, tried to give her all the information I know. She flatout refuses any and all of it. She said it's my life, I'm a adult, I don't want any of this, stop just stop. Has she had health problems? Yes. Does she listen? No. She drinks, smokes, eats fast food, doesn't get adequate sleep, doesn'tcomplaicomplainsis self conscious about her appearance. Short version.... No.

    Not at all. I don't ask,question or try to talk her into it. She knows all of what is in the exercise space is as much hers as it is mine and is there whenever she'd like.

    No, but he's supportive. There's always hoping one day he will start training with me.

    No. He's really supportive of my fitness journey, but he says the gym bores him. His job gave him a free pass to a local gym, and he's used it twice.

    I really wish he would; he's getting a belly and he has a nice frame for muscles. I respect that that's not his interest though.

    For the first six months or so it was mostly just me but my husband has started to get into it. We want to try for a baby later this year and we have a goal of being fit parents together.

    Being fit parents is pretty awesome...our kids think it's totally "normal" to be out doing stuff and being active. Sometimes when I'm on my bike trainer in the living room my youngest will get this old Huffy out that is missing the chain and he'll just spin with me...it's hilarious.

    My 7 year old (on Monday) got a new Scott 20" street bike with gears and hand breaks for his birthday...we went out for a nice 12 mile ride on Sunday...albeit it wasn't exactly a "training" bout for me, but it was a lot of fun.
