Solo. I have always preferred to run and workout by myself.

However, it is not safe to hike or snowshoe alone. What if I get hurt or lost? A partner can provide first aid and/or go for help. I always hike with a partner.

"You can whip me into shape," overweight men suggest.

"Hire a trainer, " I reply. "Only you can motivate yourself to exercise and eat right. You would resent me if I nagged."

"It would derail my workout to coach you at the gym. I would feel irritated spending all my time showing you how to use equipment instead of working out."

Solo for me !

Having a partner can be good for some people, I just have not found one that works with me I guess (although I am not looking too hard either...lol) If you are lifting weights then it does give you a break between sets as long as the other person is wanting to also workout, but too many times it just turns into a BS session and the lifting slows down. Same with when you are out for your cardio, if you are pushing yourself like you should then it is hard to talk. I have tried with a few people and I end up just doing a short run with them and then do a long run by myself at a fast pace because I did not feel like I got in enough...

At the gym solo. In bed with a partner preferably female.???

yes to both

Alone, I run/jog and lift weights. I don't want to wait for someone.

It is not safe to hike alone. That's why I always hike with a partner.

Never hike or run with earphones. It's not safe. I need to hear what's happening around me: people, cars, dogs, rockfall, avalanches, attacking animals, etc.

I LOVE the sound of rushing creeks, millions of softly rattling aspen leaves, birds singing, woodpeckers drumming, picas whistling, chipmunks, squirrels and marmots chirping. It's wonderful!

Running is a lot more fun with a friend. Weight lifting, not so much. I have set routines, so I’d rather just play music and do my thing.

I have to go solo, i guess because i have as bit of OCD..
Got to be on my own program. Lol

Solo. Got enough dumbbells as it is.

I'm usually alone. Several times my sister went with me. I think i would like a buddy.

I prefer class settings. I like the energy and makes me perform and pushes me.

I prefer solo. I usually workout in my home gym anyway.

Mostly solo at the gym or on a run. I find workout partners distracting and so-called “trainers” downright annoying. Occasional exceptions made for hikes. Only in martial arts training do I like the social aspect of mutual support, sharing of knowledge and technique, and structured competition.

Usually alone. When a friend from the west coast visits, we will work out together and I find myself working harder with a little competition.

This one I like to do alone!

I have never found a workout partner helpful. Other than a professional trainer.

Sometimes I go to the gym with my wife or stepson but we studiously ignore each other. No one wants to be constantly observed and silently critiqued.
