My wife and I have been doing Power 90 together. It's great, we motivate each other. If I did it alone I'd probably rationalize reasons to skip a day here and there.

I am so with DUCKSOUP6. I can't march to the drummer's beat, aka the drill seargant approach so many instructors have is such a huge turnoff. Plus, some of the moves just don't feel right or work right for me (and seem overkill).
I like working out alone for the most part, going at my own pace, doing what works for me. I find when i do my cardio with a workout buddy, the talking slows me down to the point i always get a better workout solo.
My favorite workout buddy is my IPOD, I have to say.

Usually alone. Unless I'm taking a boot camp or TRX classes. I'm a bit of a loner when it comes to these things because I don't like depending on others to determine my workouts

Alone. I've tried various gyms and classes(boxing, Zumba, ballroom dance) and I get too distracted by the noise level in gyms(what's up with 50 tvs all going at once anyway?) or just the other people (talking on their cells?!?) and I cannot STAND the "drill Sargent" approach by many instructors YELLING at the class. Sorry that's the OPPOSITE of motivation for me.

Now you would think yoga would be my answer right! Calm, QUIET....BORING, (plus my knees are too arthritic to bend like that)

So for me the best is an hour down in my home gym and a nice quiet hike in the woods (up on the high trails, NOT on the paved path with the strollers, dogs and chatty people) ahhhh, bliss!

At the gym, I workout alone. When I walk outside, it's more enjoyable to have a walking buddy.

I really enjoy my ME time when I workout. But, I also do enjoy changing it up sometimes and working out with a buddy. I think it helps to keep going, especially when it's a gym workout or even a walking workout.

I workout alone. I go early in the morning, and there is no one to go with. I figure it is all my doing to get motivated to go, so a friend would be nice but it is not essential! Plus I like watching TV and listening to my music while doing cardio!

I walk/hike with my dog and sometimes my husband goes too. I ride my bike alone but would love to have a buddy for biking as I could go farther on trails and not worry that if I had a spill there would be no one there to help. (Did go for a beautiful ride today on Tempe Town Lake - what a gorgeous day we've had here!)
