Commitment and Motivation of a Workout Partner

Over the years, statistics have shown that individuals that work out with a partner have a higher probability of reaching their personal fitness goals.

One of the primary benefits of working out with a training partner is the fact that you must define a schedule of when and where the training will take place. By doing so, you make a personal guarantee to your workout partner that you will be at the agreed-upon location at the agreed upon date and time.

This level of commitment will facilitate a more consistent, regimented and disciplined workout schedule. Another benefit of working out with a partner is that the partner will most likely be a friend. If this is the case, then you will probably have several things in common with your workout partner and enjoy the time that you spend with them. In other words, a good workout partner is more than just someone you exercise with.

A good workout partner is also someone with whom you can relate your everyday problems, share your accomplishments and failures, and generally discuss just about anything you would discuss with a friend. 

A third benefit of working out with a committed partner is that the partner will motivate you to work out more often. In addition, a training partner will typically push you to work out harder. Both of these benefits will not only increase your probability of achieving your personal fitness goals, but shorten the length of time needed to achieve your fitness goals as well.

A workout partner should be a person that can push you a little further than you would have pushed yourself. A workout partner should be a person that motivates you to work out a little more often than you would if you were working out alone.

So grab a partner and sign up for a session!
