4 Tips for Finding and Utilizing a Gym Partner

By

Have you been putting on your gym clothes, heading to the gym, and powering through your training session by yourself? You are missing out on having a built-in motivator, rival, and fellow iron sport enthusiast in a gym partner. Finding someone you can rely on to be your spotter and share advice with every time you hit the gym is a challenge. Here are six tips to help you find a gym partner and how you can push each other to new heights.

Gym Clothes

Look Toward Your Community

If you think you don’t have a community, look to your choices in gym apparel. Your favorite pair of black camo leggings might come from a community of like-minded bodybuilders. The brands you choose for your gym wear may cultivate communities, providing advice and information. You can also spot other people at the gym who share your dedication. One of the best places to find a new gym partner who is as committed to the iron sport as you are is in your community. If you both accept no excuses for missing a training session and share a passion for being relentless in pursuing your bodybuilding goals, you are an ideal match already. Connecting with someone in your community based around living and breathing bodybuilding makes it easy to find a gym partner.

Find a Partner with Shared Interests

Finding someone with similar interests and training goals in the gym is important. If you are training for a competition, your training sessions will look different from someone chasing a PR and doesn’t need to focus on aesthetics. When you have similar goals, you can share tips and motivate each other much easier than if you have radically different gym objectives.

There’s an App for That

If you can’t find someone in your community, try using an app. This can help you find a gym partner in your local community based on your location. This is an easy solution for finding someone who has a similar schedule. If your potential partner isn’t from your gym, you might need to work out with them once or twice to get a feel for their personality and to see if they are right for you. While not as easy as meeting someone at your local gym, it can be convenient in that all the information you need to start is on display.

Push Each Other

Finally, once you have found the right partner, push each other so you can both reach new heights. You can start with a friendly competition to see who breaks a PR first, or you can both head to a competition together. Your partner can be a resource for inspiration, making you want to do better. They can give you new recipes when you’re bulking or help you with different lifting techniques than what you are used to. Above all, your gym partner can be a friend who can help you be a better bodybuilder and a better person.
