Doing your exercise workouts at the gym with a partner can have many benefits for you. I suggest that you exercise with 1 partner and not 2. Three people can be a crowd and it will take awhile for you to complete your workout effectively!
The first benefit of working out with a partner is that he or she can motivate you to exercise. This extra motivation will push you to complete your workout and at times, can help you to workout harder, achieve higher plateaus.
Another benefit is that your partner can be an effective spotter for you so you can lift weights which are little heavier than you normally do or complete those hard-to-do last reps of a set!
Sometimes a partner can help suggest tips for working out. This is especially true if one person is more knowledgeable or serious than the other.
It can also be a lot of fun to work out with someone else. You get to talk about things but if chit-chat takes over your workout, you may lose your concentration, focus and not work out as effectively as you should.
If you decide to exercise with a partner, be prepared to spend a little more time at the gym.
The final benefit that I can think of is that it can save you money. If you join a gym or go to the gym with your girlfriend, boyfriend or spouse, many gyms offer spousal or family discounts which can save you a lot of money.
