I like knowing I will see the same people in certain classes at the gym and have noticed we depend on each other to be there and comment when one of us is a no show. I guess there is strength in numbers. When I agree to meet friends that I call on the phone and email often not only to they flake but the excuses arent really good, I go alone and tell myself they will wish they didnt give up so easily if I continue and be an example of our commitment.

I'm looking for a weekly workout buddy in the Issaquah WA area. I ride a stationary bike most days but that gets so boring. I need a weekly hike to keep me inspired. - 8/9/2011   10:23:41 AM

Looking for a fittness buddy in the BOWIE/GLENDALE AREA !! - 8/7/2011   3:11:31 PM

I met my Saturday morning fitness buddy at the gym. We worked out together for a while, then she bailed on me. LOL !! She didn't quit per se. She wanted to try other things. We still get together occasionally to workout.

In general, I prefer working out alone, but if I do decide to workout with a buddy, I've usually found my buddies at the gym. - 8/7/2011   1:25:42 PM

I met my workout buddy right here on spark people - 8/7/2011   1:19:29 PM

Found that I was not walking daily by myself - always found excuses to postpone or not walk. So... I typed "Walking Mississauga" and found a Meetup group that walks four mornings a week. Also identified a Nordic Pole Walking group and meet with them Saturday morning. Having others to walk with requires a committment. It also challenges one to keep improving.


Would like to find someone to go to the fitness club with. - 8/5/2011   9:09:52 PM

I work2nd shift so it is difficult to find a walking buddy, Anyone on the N side of Indy? - 8/4/2011   10:24:41 AM

I found group fitness classes at my local Y have been great for finding workout buddies. Just the social interaction alone after the classes keeps me motivated and coming back. Give group fitness classes a try! - 8/4/2011   9:45:55 AM

Wow, I'm surprised how good these sites are! I thought there was no way there would be a fitness related group near me in Essex, UK but there are some! They are mostly in London, so when I move back there one day, I will definitely join a running group or something. Thanks for this great article! - 8/4/2011   9:40:24 AM

I meet one of my fitness buddies right here on SP.......we walk together at least 2-3 times a week. We go much further because we don't realize we are working out! - 8/4/2011   9:36:44 AM
