Fitness Feels Better Together
Fitness feels better with friends! If you're someone who hates exercise or struggles to stay consistent, this article is for you!

Picture this: It’s been a long, stressful day. You have a workout planned… but the couch is calling, and motivation is nowhere in sight.
We’ve all been there. Life gets hectic, and even the most committed people skip a workout sometimes. But what if you had a friend—or a whole crew—waiting for you at the gym?
The odds of you showing up (and actually enjoying your workout) go way up. Let’s talk about some of the many benefits of training with others.
Accountability
Like in the scenario above, sometimes having someone waiting for you or expecting you can be the little nudge you need to show up—even when you’re stressed or totally unmotivated.
Support
Whether it’s friendly competition, camaraderie, or the shared validation of suffering through the same workout together, there’s a special kind of encouragement that comes from working out with other people.
Enjoyment
Some people love lifting weights, some hate it, and many fall somewhere in between. If you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy exercise on its own, doing it with others can make it more fun and less of a chore.
There’s nothing wrong with training solo—but if you're feeling stuck, stressed, or inconsistent, bringing others into your fitness journey might be the boost you need.
Our small group sessions are a great way to stay consistent, feel supported, and have fun while getting stronger.
