Do you prefer working out alone or with someone who pushes you?

I usually prefer to workout by myself because that's what I'm used to but also I use specific workouts I tailor for myself and it's kind of annoying incorporating someone into that routine. And being a former personal trainer I don't really need someone to hype me up I'm already pretty good at that from my time doing it for others and I've always been incredibly disciplined in the gym.

Though I haven't been to the gym in like 5 years working a manual labor job I have a full body workout every day I mean during the course of a day I climb, lift pull and push in every kind of position you can imagine. And I lift and move by hand bare minimum several hundred bags each weighing 50lbs I mean your looking at a minimum of 10,000lbs most days.

So not really much reason to waste money at the gym when I basically work at one.

Honestly, having someone there to match speed with and challenge makes it so much easier rather than trying to keep your mind busy while doing it.

That's an interesting sanitizer in your pic. Wow. Incredible...

SOLE MIO: I prefer working out either on my own or with my trainer.

I've tried going with female friends and they never have the same stamina so it slows me down, irritates me and prompts me to want to crawl out the nearest window so I don't have to hear them whining about how difficult a workout is.

I also got into it with a guy friend who insisted my workout is "wrong" bc I don't do it his way. But looking at him and at myself he's got good arms but has done nothing about his massive one-pack, meanwhile my curves are precisely where God and my personal trainer intended... so told him "thanks, but I think I'm good."

I like going with someone that has the same energy as me or pushes me within reason. I’ve gone with someone that pushed me way too much when I first started out and I almost passed out. It almost turned me off from the gym all together and stopped me from lifting for a long time. The two people I go with now the one will push me to do more when we’re on cardio but she won’t lift, the other hates cardio but will motivate me with weights so it evens out lol

No im kinda self disciplined. And I know what it takes so I just follow through

And would rather work out alone
Even though when you work out with somebody and they push , you

It doesn't really matter because of all the time wasted. Chit chatting

Alone. I’ll never understand going with someone. I feel like you don’t get any workout done or just get distracted

I used ti workout with a couple of guys. We used to push each other and also kept ourselves in stitches. When I had kids I started working out at 5AM so I would eat dinner with my kids. Now I like working out alone before the gym gets crowded.

I prefer to workout alone only because my workout routine involves being nude. And my workout routine is nude dancing through my bedroom.

Lone wolf. A partner would be a hassle... too much time switching plates, spotter bar heights, etc.

Working out alone. I do not like distractions.

fivebyfour · Answer

Alone, otherwise you are reliant on another person, and one would hopefully give others inspiration to others to do the same,,,

Anonymous · Answer

Working out alone. No distractions, I don't need someone to push me, and each person has their own routine. So there really is no benefit to working out with someone beyond accountability.
