The Spotter Advantage

You can't push to true failure on Bench Press alone (safety). With a partner, you can grind out those last 2 growth-producing reps safely.

The "Show Up" Factor

You might cancel on yourself. You won't cancel on your friend who is waiting in the parking lot.

Fitblues "Squads"

Don't have local friends? Join a Fitblues Squad.

  • Challenges: "Team 100k Steps."
  • Feed: See your squad's workouts. Give "Fist Bumps" (likes).
  • Chat: Share tips and encouragement.

Conclusion

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
