gym buddies

Exercise session companions

Gym buddies are people who regularly work out together, providing mutual motivation, spotting assistance, and accountability.

The relationship typically centers on shared fitness goals and gym schedules: My gym buddy and I hit the weights every morning at six.

The term implies a specific friendship context—you might be close at the gym but not socialize much outside it.
