#1. You will have someone to accomplish goals with.
Your inspiration becomes your sports buddy. How much better can it get?
#2. You will grow stronger together.
#3. You will talk about things only the two of you understand.
Your friends will never understand the joy of filtered water bottles, protein shakes, and cheat day. But the two of you do.
#4. You will be able to shower together after exercise.
#5. You will compliment each other perfectly.
Don’t like stretching? Let her take the lead. Don’t like weight training? Let him show you how to do it. They will be the ultimate training partner, because after all, you’re pieces of the same puzzle.
#6. There will be no pep talk too offensive.
You can rally each other with negative words and none of them will come out too offensive. That one person who knows you best will have all the right phrases to get you moving.
#7. You will be working out with someone who knows how to make you feel better about yourself.
#8. There will be unexpected moments of delightful romance.
It’s a scientific fact that your significant other’s presence boosts athletic performance. Now, you’ll finally be able to do 100-consecutive pushups.
#9. You won’t be disgusted by each other’s sweat.
You won’t have to feel self-conscious as you carve that body into perfection.
#10. You won’t have to worry about looking silly.
Who cares if you’re poorly executing that workout routine? You’ve done more embarrassing things in front of her/him.
#11. Slow days will never be boring again.
A slow day at the gym with your special someone still counts as a date.
#12. You will get a couple’s discount.
What kind of a fitness gym won’t give a price reduction for bringing in another member?
#13. They will be your dedicated/official spotter.
Spotter, pacer, belayer — whatever sport or workout routine it is you’re into, you can count on your special someone to be the extra hand you need.
#14. You will learn from each other.
Because you’d rather learn from someone you trust your life with.
#15. Your bond will become stronger.
Are you skipping Friday night drinks to go to the gym? So will your partner-turned-out-gym-buddy. It’s you and him/her against the world now.
#16. You will get more sleep. Together.
If the other one is just as tired as you are, he/she won’t keep you up.
#17. And finally, you will be getting a massage from familiar hands.
Not to mention, it’s free.
