We know the saying that goes, “Less is more”,but let’s be honest. Sometimes, two is just plain better than one. When it comes to working out, having a friend along for the ride can be beneficial. You can get a serious workout without being serious – it’s okay to have fun. In fact, the more fun your workouts are, the more you’re going to look forward to, and be committed to them over the long-term. There’s absolutely no doubt that the right friend to exercise with can make your workouts more fun. Being able to laugh, encourage and motivate will make them much more enjoyable.

Here are some of the benefits of working out with a friend:

Fewer skipped workouts

Scheduling a gym session with a friend helps hold you accountable for getting your workout in.
Meeting someone to exercise with not only motivates you to show up, but to work hard as well.

Push yourself further

Exercising with another person pushes you to do your workout and do it to the best of your ability.
A bit of friendly banter and encouragement can mean you get a little bit more out of your exercise session.

Try new exercises

Going to the gym with a friend is the perfect time to try out new exercises or classes. When trying something new, your friend will provide a confidence boost and keep your workouts interesting.
At Renu, you can try up to 25 classes a week, as part of your membership.

Time Flies

“Time flies when you’re having fun!”… or at least when you are distracted. Having someone to chat with lets you focus on something other than just your workout, making the time go by faster.

Recover together

Socialising can often be a reason you may get out of your exercise routine. A friend who’s worked up a sweat with you is likely to want to join you for a healthy post-exercise meal or snack, so you get the best of both worlds!
