Having your girlfriend/boyfriend as a work out buddy... good or bad idea?

[turbonergrodude92]

I'm single at the moment but I've always wondered what it'd be like if you had your partner as your gym buddy. I think it'd be kinda cool because I'm really into that kind of stuff and it'd be good because it's a hobby we could share. Some of my friends have tried this and sort of had a mixed reaction, some people just use a gym as a "escape"... So what's your opinion? Would love to hear from you if you've tried this and it's worked/hasn't worked.

I think if you're trying to get an actual workout, then not a good idea. She will just be distracting, and if you are actually working out with her, you two will be too different in terms of fitness for it to really work...

But if she is at the same level as you, then it could work, if you aren't really trying to get the hardest workout because you are getting distracted by her.

I run with the girl I like, but it's just for something to do and we are going really slow.

I am much faster than her, and if I wanted a real workout that day, I wouldn't run "with" her because I'd be going to slow.

If they're at the same fitness level maybe, depends on the people together. Not a lot of people could match my endurance or pace for long. I also like to work out alone at home, it's calming and relaxing and having people around is just not desirable.

It'd be cool since I'm out of shape & if he is, he could help me out :P but it might quickly turn sexual. I love to see muscular guys work out, especially with his shirt off :D

if he is in shape*, I mean
