Guys Only Workout?

I know I do. I really enjoy working out with just women.

Personally I don't really get into the group workout scene, not something that excites me very much. So the only way I would go to a group workout is if my wife made me go with her. She has convinced me to go in the past and I did enjoy parts of it, but it is not something I would sign up for on my own.

But all that said, the biggest problem I had with the group boot camp we took was the women! The first camp wasn't too bad, but the second sucked, I have never heard so much whining and complaining in my life. Also the instructor was relatively new so he fell into the trap of enjoying the limelight. The female participants figured out that if they pestered him with ridiculous questions or their thoughts for the day it would give everyone a longer break and a shorter workout. My wife and I quit that camp due to the ridiculous behavior.

So I think the women's or even a beginner only camp (as I know a lot of women are there to work) is a good idea for those unmotivated people who need a nurturing environment. But the co-ed class should have a different standard, no talking, no whining, just work. I think that might negate the need for a men's only camp and you would still be able to attract people like me who probably wouldn't go unless their wife signed them up as a couple.

Other ideas you may have thought of already...

A "couples" camp - does not matter the gender or relationship. Sign up with another person - your significant other, best friend, sister, mother. Sometimes, as someone else posted, doing something with another person (you know) is the best motivation.

A "singles" camp - see the triathlon dating thread. Enough said

I remember talking about this exact topic about 20 years ago in college.  I'm sorry, I'm weak.  I just could not (and still have trouble) concentrating with hot chicks in close proximity.  It did not and does not help my workout.  

Unattractive women, fine.  Dudes, fine.  Hot chicks are my kryptonite.

If you do get the "guys only" thing going, this famous trainer (Mickey Goldmill) needs to be your spokesperson:

No.

i think these are wonderful ideas...maybe call the couples class something else so people don't assume "couples" but i reallllly think a gym - especially your big chain gyms that like to have lots of amenities - would see some pretty good attendance from an advertised singles class or "buddy system" class.
