Ok! How the hell do you find, and keep, a solid workout partner??!!!

[furious]

Do I have to pay for one? Damn, every partner I have had the last 6 months (3 in all) have all flaked after a couple of days of training, really upsetting. I'm coming off a month long layoff and I'm HUNGRY!!! I want to reach my goals, but I need a partner like a mofo.


Any advice?

hire a trainer if you can

Don’t worry about getting a partner. You will never find one that is 100% reliable. I’d suggest going to the gym at a consistent time, they will be other partner-less people that share the same workout time as you. Get to know them, this way you don’t have to rely on one particular person.

Only consider those that have already, over time, demonsrated the same drive as you to become a freak.

you don;t need one - just someone else in the gym at the same time.

I have found after 14 years that the responsibilty lies solely within yourself. I hate to train alone myself but have come to get used to it. Right now I have a super RELIABLE partner but just doesnt have any fire. I just slip on a walkman for my sets, he spots if I need it and the job gets done. If you get too hung up on finding the perfect partner you will never be able to train alone

I just motivate myself, I work too
weird of a schedule to work out
at a set time.

The last time I worked out with another person was almost a year ago. I don't use training partners. Just not for me....i hate people I guess....lol.

i prefer working out alone. i like to do things in a certain order and wait a certain amount of time between doing things. i feel other people screw up my timing. i generally do machines so i dont really need spots. sometimes it would be nice to have a little help on the last rep but no big deal. friends always say they are gonna go with me and i come up with a stupid reason that ill be going alone.

just grab a spotter when you need one, a good training partner is hard to find...........
