Most people don’t fail at fitness because they’re lazy. They fail because they’re too socially awkward to sweat near strangers.

You’ll door-dash three meals a day and share your Spotify Wrapped with the internet, but God forbid you join a fitness class where someone might gasp see you struggle.

Here’s the truth: solo workouts aren’t noble—they’re just safe.
Let’s fix that.

Overview

You don’t need another motivational quote or “just show up” speech—you need people who make quitting impossible. Science says your performance skyrockets when you stop training solo and start showing up for someone other than yourself.

The Overlooked Advantage

  • Motivation is a lie— community doesn’t just get you moving, it makes you perform harder once you do (1).

  • Training with others increases output by 20–30%, forcing your brain to push past perceived limits.

  • Social connection spikes dopamine and oxytocin, boosting focus, endurance, and resilience (2).

  • Group suffering builds mental toughness, sharpening your ability to handle real-life stress like missed deadlines, angry clients, or screaming toddlers (3).

  • The biggest flex? Consistency. Group environments increase workout adherence by up to 95%, making long-term progress almost inevitable (4).

You’re doing breakfast wrong

Let’s face it—most breakfast options just don’t cut it.

Toast? Too light. Cereal? Mostly sugar. Skipping it altogether? Not ideal.

If you want real fuel to power your day, it’s time to upgrade to Huel Black Edition. This ready-in-seconds shake is packed with 40g of plant-based protein, 27 essential vitamins & minerals, and 0 artificial sweeteners—just science-backed nutrition to support your muscles, digestion, and more.

Oh, and did we mention? It’s delicious.

Right now, first-time customers get 15% off, plus a free t-shirt and shaker with code HUELSPRING, for orders over $75.

What ‘IF’..? Challenge

You don’t need a membership. You don’t need to be “ready.” You just need to put yourself in the room with people who will pull more out of you than you can pull alone.

Break Out of Your Solo Routine in the Next 24 Hours

➡️ Option 1: Book a Group Fitness Class

  • Go to Google Maps or ClassPass.

  • Search for boxing, cycling, CrossFit, F45, OrangeTheory, hot yoga, or pilates.

  • Pick one. Book it. Commit. You’ll perform 30% harder just by being surrounded by people you don’t want to fall behind.

➡️ Option 2: Find a Free Local Community Workout

  • Check Eventbrite, Facebook Events, or Meetup.

  • Search “Free Run Club,” “Community Bootcamp,” or “Outdoor Fitness.”

  • Show up. Introduce yourself. Let the crowd push you further.

➡️ Option 3: Grab One Friend, Coworker, or Neighbor

  • Ask them to hit a workout with you—even if it’s just a walk.

  • Shared effort lights up your dopamine and oxytocin systems, making hard work feel easier and more enjoyable.
