4 reasons why working out is better together:

1. Accountability

When workout partners schedule time at the Y together, it tends to help increase accountability (more workout dates are kept). Try it! Plan your next workout with a friend and instantly double your accountability!

2. Motivation

One more set. One more mile. You know you can do it! And if you workout with a friend, you’ve got someone that can help you do it (and you can help them too!).

3. Validation

There are many benefits of working out that are often not properly recognized and celebrated. Your workout partner can help you to better appreciate the progress that is being made each day.

4. Fun!

When you schedule time to exercise with a friend, you are adding fun to your daily schedule.
