The partner who doesn't train

You're locked in on your training. Your partner isn't. What now?

In this episode of Becoming Reborn, Travis and Patrick get into training with a partner, and what to do when yours doesn't train. A "partner" here means a wife, a husband, a brother or a mate. They cover why people who train with someone are more consistent, push harder and tend to last longer at the gym, and why trying to drag a reluctant partner along usually backfires.

They talk about what actually works: leading by example, inviting instead of pushing, and giving your partner something to train for. Travis shares how a Hyrox ticket turned into 12 weeks of perfect training. They also get honest about what can happen when one half of a couple gets fit and the other doesn't, and about the downsides of both training hard (like barely seeing each other on weekdays).

The episode finishes with their three reasons to train with your partner, including the one they say matters most: setting the standard for your kids.
