If you’ve decided to ask a friend or spouse to be a workout buddy, I recommend creating ground rules in regard to attendance of workouts, goals of training, acceptable chattiness levels, and costs involved. This will help to start off your plans on the right foot, and to ensure long-term success for your mutual fitness goals.
If any issues such as no-shows, gossiping, lack of serious effort, or whining pop-up, address them directly and quickly. It may be a simple misunderstanding, or the person you originally picked may not be a compatible partner for your goals. Try someone else, or ask for a recommendation from a trainer or highly motivated workout friend. But, keep trying!
