Gym Buddy or No Gym Buddy? THAT is the Question!!

I used to like having a gym buddy, whom I could go to the gym with every day and talk to while we are on the machines, but NOW I would rather work out alone. It's not that I don't like having a workout buddy, but I just feel that I get so much more accomplished when I am alone, than if I am with someone else.

To me, working out with a buddy means that your gym time is going to be twice as long because all you two want to do is talk and gossip. Trust me, I love to talk and gossip from time to time, but I do not like distractions while I am working out. I like to listen to my music, get in the groove of things, and get shit done. Unless I am teaching a friend different exercises to do on their own, then I enjoy it =). I love helping others achieve their fitness goals.

With the male species, it's different. They have gym buddies to help spot one another while lifting heavy weights.

Does anyone else have a preference???
