GET a Gym Buddy
Posted by Laurie Stilwell in Fitness Tips, GET a Gym Buddy on August 23, 2011
Do you have a gym buddy? I know it may be hard to find someone who is at the same fitness level as you, but having a gym buddy doesn’t necessarily mean that you work out together.
If anything , a gym buddy can be someone that helps keep you accountable. Someone that knows your fitness goals and asks how you are upholding them. Or a gym buddy can simply GO to the gym with you ! After all, getting IN the gym is the hardest part.
Telling people close to you about your goals is hugely important. You set yourself up for success by doing so. But having one particular person you trust to help keep you strong when you are feeling weak is POWERFUL. You are a blessed person if you have someone in your life that you can honestly and openly share your fitness/health goals with. Be sure to pick someone who you know will be strong for you when the going gets tough. Someone who has the guts, LOVE, and grace to be able to call you out when you feel like throwing the towel in.
When I first became a Scottsdale personal trainer, I met a girl named Audrey who was so inspiring to me. She was a fellow Scottsdale personal trainer, and we quickly became very good friends. Gosh, we had some insane work outs together. We held each other accountable and reminded each other of our goals. We built each other up and pushed each other to be better all the time. There was a healthy dose of competitiveness in there too. We really spurred each other on in a way that kept us both at our best.
Even though she moved to another state, we stay in touch and encourage each other in our efforts to stay fit. And you better believe that every time she comes in town, we are scheduling a work out together.
