    Pretty big assumption to make don't you think?

    I much prefer training with someone and don't spend my time chatting to them. It's more motivating for me to be there with someone else and I enjoy it more. I push myself more when other people are there as well. The OP could be the same.


    Do you NEED someone to be with you to go to the gym though? I doubt it because you're probably motivated enough to go on your own. That to me is the huge difference. I agree that having someone can definitely lead to a better work out. But when I saw that she "needed" someone that was the impression I got.

    It is a big assumption though I agree but I don't think I'm the only person who makes assumptions and that' the problem. If the OP is going to post looking for a gym buddy in a another forum/noticeboard I think she shouldn't state that she needs one to go to the gym because it will put people off.

    Stench, Chucky - this is an advice forum, not a discussion forum.

    If you don't have constructive advice to offer the OP in a civil manner please don't post. Doing so can and will result in moderator action. Also where a post has been addressed by a moderator we ask posters not to take it on themselves to quote or argue said post, that just draws the original poster back in which could result in further action against them if they are seen to be ignoring mod instruction.

    Chucky the tree - please don't post in this thread again. You've made your point.

    ACtually, while I like the gym on my own, I know plentyof people who would have running buddies and it helps them stay motivated.

    It kind of sounds as if I'm lazy, but then I'm not as I do gym work in my house on my own so

    It doesnt sound like you are lazy at all. But I would bet my usual banana on it that there is something else going on than just "I need someone to motivate me to go to the gym."

    You shouldnt need anyone (but yourself) to motivate yourself to go. Its very needy and unhealthy OP to rely on someone to get you to the gym (and then blame them when you cant go?).

    Noone is stopping you going, except ironically yourself.
