I`ve had some great partners in the past, and then again, some not so great partners.
Now ,since I`ve moved,I trasin alone.
A good reliable partner is a Godsend!!

My wife works out with me and is a great training partner. It is a hassle changing plates all the time but she is a reliable partner and it is something we can do together.

I don't have a partner. I really wish I did. I'm in there giving it my all but I can't do everything because, well.... I don't feel comfortable doing some things on my own.
I was planning on getting another trainer this week but unfortunately we had a set back financially & I have to hold off for a couple of months before I can pay for it. He's all ready to train me, just gotta come up with the funds. The cool thing is, he sees me in the gym all the time & gives me little tips here & there.

I train by myself. doesn't affect me - it's nothing that some ACDC on an mp3 player can't fix!
I also prefer an empty gym so I train around midnight when it's nice and quiet.

My wife is my training partner. Works out rather well. She can never be late and never lets me down.

I train alone. Some of my past training partners were major distractions.

a GOOD one that will be there for the forced reps and negatives is SO valuble but - hard to find.

Actually I always wear me headphones. Half the time I don't even have them on. That way PEOPLE LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE GRRRR. When I am done I don't mind helping people with there questions tho Oh yea right training partner forgot what the ? was lol Same as a lot of you they are just in the way or can't hang. I guess you would say I am a lone wolf in the IRON JUNGLE.

My training partner? Harvey the giant Rabbit. I WILL consider Monica Brandt as a replacement though.

I've always trained alone since about the first 4 months of beginning training (and that was 7 years ago). In my old gym I couldn't really trust anyone, except the owner (who was in the overall with Flex Wheeler when Flex won his pro card). In my current gym, a few people are there, and spot exactly how I want them to- make me do the work, and as long as I don't stall, then they don't touch the bar. The owner is a good spot, and his wife is even better (nothing sexual intended, but I wouldn't mind it!), she really makes you work for it. I love the way she spots me. I hardly ever do forced reps, and if I do feel like something along those lines, I'll do rest-pause training. I wonder what my training would be like if I did have a partner......
