Work out with friends

Show up for each other, show up for yourself.

You’re more likely to go when someone’s waiting for you. Put the workouts on a shared calendar and make them standing plans.

Tips

• Make it recurring. Same days every week. Add a plan for each one so people can say they’re in.
• Mix it up. Park workout, class, run or yoga. Variety keeps people coming.
• Keep it free or cheap. Parks, stairs and bodyweight workouts need no membership.
• Celebrate streaks. A photo in the plan after a good session goes a long way.

Checklist

• Days and time
• Place (park, gym, studio or trail)
• Workout plan for the day
• Water and a towel
• Mat or equipment
• Who’s leading this week
