What if we told you, having a workout partner or working out alongside someone, may give you more results. Most people use a workout partner for accountability, someone that gets them to the gym, which is better than the alternative, NOT going to the gym at all. No one ever regrets a workout, do they? However a Study by the Society of Behavioral Medicine, goes deeper than that. The purpose of the study, published in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine (2012; 44, 151–59), was to see if there was an ideal scenario for motivating exercisers to intensify their workouts. Their study shows a workout partner or working out alongside someone or a group, provides more intensity. “These findings support the notion that group motivation can influence exercise performance (most potently under conjunctive task demands with a moderately more capable partner) over several trials,” the authors explained. We also know, higher levels of intensity promote quicker results. That said, The MAC provides several ways to promote fitness, in the partner or group settings, in hopes to help motivate our members and keep them consistent in their fitness routine thus, seeing results!
