I actually work out better without someone; I've found that when you have a workout partner, it can be easy to skip a week when your partner does.

Other than that, I generally use my own improvement as motivation; when I see that I've dropped weight, or kept weight but gained muscle, it makes it easier for me to suck it up and work out on a day I'd rather not.

If you set reasonable goals and achieve those, that can be all the motivation you need.

However...I've always enjoyed working out, so maybe I'm not the person to speak on the subject of motivation.


ETA: When running, I find it best to run to areas you don't normally go to; keeps me going if I know I can run to new areas.
