Gym buddy wanted for mutual exercise motivation at CityFitness Thorndon!

Tim from Thorndon

I am looking for a gym buddy for mutual exercise motivation at CityFitness Thorndon!

(www.cityfitness.co.nz...

Even before corona closed in, I was in dire need of regular exercise. Now that we’re emerging from lockdown, I’m especially keen to get into it. I really enjoy the gym environment once I am there, but my problem is the motivation to get up in the morning and go. I’ve discovered that I am extrinsically motivated, in that I am much more likely to exercise regularly if I am accountable to someone else to turn up on time. Likewise, if you have similar motivation issues, I would be there to encourage you to turn up and do your own workout at our agreed times.

I’m hoping to meet up two or preferably three weekday mornings a week, and finish working out by about 8am so that I can start work by 8:30am.

I live in Thorndon (five minutes’ walk from City Fitness) and work for the Department of Internal Affairs on Pipitea Street (but at home for now).

I would look to do machine weight workouts and cardio, perhaps with the occasional group fitness class. But you could do your own workout – I don’t need a ‘spotter’, just someone to motivate me to get to the gym.

I am 39 years old, and not bothered about your age or gender. Happy to meet up and discuss further if you are interested.

Cheers,

Tim Hickey
