Unveiling my new service!

I keep reading about those who hate to work out alone.
Be it, run, swim, or even bike, people need someone to tell them they're going to meet them to workout together, to get out of bed, or off the couch to go do it.

So, today, it is with great pleasure that I unveil my new service!

Presenting... ....

Mike, the workout buddy!
- - - Available for swimming and biking at anytime during the day, and for running in the evenings too! - - -

It's free, and here's how it will work:

If anyone wants me to be your friend you're meeting to workout at some point of the day, just let me know.
I'll be happy to commit to meet to swim/bike/run anywhere.
I'll sign up by phone, email, or even in person! And i'll be super enthusiastic so that I get your all psyched up and your blood pumping!

For example:
Say you want me to swim with you at 6AM.
Sure thing! I'll be there. That sounds like a blast! Plus, I rally love hanging out with you, and you're the best workout buddy eveer!! What are we swimming? 5 sets of 800 meters? Barton Springs?!
Perfect! I'll be there! I'll meet you down by the shallow end!!


The following morning, I'll pull a no show, because I don't swim or bike and I pretty much have my running scheudle maxed out.

HOWEVER, I will have helped you get out of bed to get to your workout spot, so in essence, I will have helped you get your ass in gear. And once you're at the workout location, you'll end up doing your workout, so you can't be mad at me.

Ok, who's first?!

NOTE: This service currently not available for lunch time, Yoga, Core, or Pilates workouts. However, once I've figured out the logistics to make those happen, I'll announce the availability of that service as well.

Other things like helping you clean your car out, pull weeds, helping you move and even clean out your garage are being considered as well.

You're too much, my friend. Hey, how was sailing??

Sailing definitely lived up to expectations!

Looks like someone else has had this idea and set up their own web site for Exercise friends. You should sub-contract your no-show approach...

Awesome! Exactly what I need...I'll be emailing shortly as I need to swim today but I'm praying for rain...sigh... Workout Buddy where are you??

Or can I just raise a Bat signal to the sky or something??

See, if you had left out the no-show element of your service, I might have actually taken you up. Now that I know you won't even make an attempt to go, then I won't even want to ask.
