Need a way to convince your gym-shy bestie to join you for a workout?

To celebrate International Friendship Day on Thursday, July 30th, the FLYEfit gym chain is giving Cork members the chance to bring a friend along for a free gym session at the Oliver Plunkett Street gym.

The initiative comes as FLYEfit’s personal trainers continue to champion the benefits of working out with a training partner. Whether it’s staying accountable, making exercise more enjoyable or helping someone ease back into a fitness routine, having a gym buddy can make all the difference.

“Working out with a friend is a great way to stay motivated and accountable,” said Claire Ann Cleary, Assistant Manager at FLYEfit.

“Having someone by your side can make exercise more enjoyable, help build confidence in the gym and encourage you to stick to your fitness goals. Sometimes all it takes is one session together to kick-start a healthier routine.”

The free pass is open to friends of all fitness levels, from complete beginners to seasoned gym-goers, as long as they’re accompanied by a FLYEfit member. So if you’ve been talking about hitting the gym with a friend but never quite got around to it, this could be the perfect opportunity to give it a go.
