are gym buddies really that helpful?

people always seem to encourage going to the gym with a friend. i dont understand why

YES, gym buddies help all the time especially when youre getting spotted with some heavy weight

yes i think theyre essential

100% everytime I visit the gym I make sure to bring a buddy along to throw a couple spots in

Yes it's really helpful. I tried a long ago and kept it up.

I go alone most times because then you can focus with music in etc however having a Gym bro, especially if they know a lot helps big time.

Some exercises can be dangerous to do alone (ex. benchpress). It's good to have a spotter to back you up.

Yeah, gym with buddies is more brisk than alone

Been going to the gym for some time more seriously, never bring anyone if I can. Lets me actually focus on the work and quality etc.

Feel like it takes energy away from the work.
