Before I go ahead I'd like you to think about the people who empower you, the people who lift you up, the people who push you to become a better person. How have they made an impact on your life? You probably answered this question with a positive statement, this is the influence of having good people around you.
This idea of having empowering people around you also transfers to the gym, it is SUCH a blessing to have a gym partner every time you go and workout. They make a world a much better place and allow you to push beyond your physical and mental limits. Today I will shortly go over why it is so important to have a gym partner when you are working out.
Before I continue, I would like to say that you do not NEED a gym partner, they are simply great people to have around. You can still get a great workout by yourself. I'm only promoting the idea of having a gym partner as it is a great thing to have when working out.
1. They Empower You
A gym partner will always be there to make you feel better, they empower you, they make you feel in a better space both physically and mentally. In my experiences in having a gym partner, they have always been so kind and empowering, which definitely helps with issues such as body dysmorphia.
2. They Hold You Accountable
Another great aspect about a gym partner is that they hold you accountable. They make sure that you are completing the exercise properly and they make sure that you do not waste any time doing miscellaneous activities. They push you to always exceed your physical limits you set yourself, they help you grow and they help you give yourself the mentality to push yourself.
3. They Make The Workout MORE FUN
In the large amount of time I've been in the gym with a gym partner, there hasn't been a single time where the workout was boring. Gym partners are your friends, they crack jokes, make great small talk and are great people to be around. Every time I go to the gym with my friends, they always made the workout much more entertaining and less boring.
Who Can Be My Gym Partner?
ANYONE, literally anyone can be your gym partner, whether it's your friends, siblings, parents, co-workers, girlfriend, boyfriend or even a random stranger in the gym. Anyone can be your gym partner if you ask them to workout with you!
Although being able to push yourself and complete a workout alone is a great trait to have, it is always a great thing to go to the gym with a gym partner!
Thanks for reading and until next time!
Just a young man trying to bring fitness to the world!
