Honestly having someone to go to the gym with makes starting out so much less intimidating 😭 when I first started I used to feel awkward figuring out exercises on my own but having a friend around made the whole experience more comfortable at the same time I've realised that relying on someone else for motivation can make it harder to stay consistent when they aren't available am trying to build the habit of showing up for myself too and a good gym buddy can make training more fun but learning to enjoy your own sessions matters just as much. Do you guys prefer training alone or with someone? 💪

Having a gym buddy who actually pushes you to show up is such a blessing 😭

Honestly both have their perks. Some days I want company and other days I just want to lock in

Finding someone with the same goals and schedule is harder than finding a good workout split ngl
