Scenario

When couples have different exercise philosophies and it's creating tension

My husband and I joined a gym together to 'get healthy' but we have completely different approaches — he goes hard every day and judges my rest days, I need slower progress and feel criticized constantly, and we're starting to resent each other over something that was supposed to bring us closer.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people trying to support each other's health are discovering their different relationships with discipline and self-compassion.
