Training with a partner at SHIO
Your slot is private, so you decide who's in the room. Why a training partner makes heavy sessions safer — and what to keep in mind when you bring one.
At SHIO your booked slot is a private session — and you decide who is in the room with you. Bringing a training partner is welcome, and for heavy work it's the best thing you can do.
Why train together
- Safer heavy lifts. Heavy bench presses, squats and overhead work are far safer with a second person who can help with the liftoff and step in if a rep stalls. There is no staff on site, so your partner is your spotter.
- Better sessions. Someone to push you, count your reps and keep the rest periods honest.
- One booking for both of you. A slot books the whole studio — up to three people can train in it.
What to keep in mind
- Maximum three people per session, you included.
- Your guests are your responsibility. They follow the same house rules — indoor shoes, a towel, no smoking — and you're liable for any damage they cause.
- Experienced lifters only. The studio is for people who already know how to train safely, and you must be at least 18. That applies to everyone in the room.
- Still use the safety bars. A spotter doesn't replace them — set them for every exercise. Here are our four rules for training safely.
