DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It's called group training. Some say it's like a support group for fitness buffs.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And it's really hard to back out, to drop out and to stop doing it.

GUPTA: Three or more people paired with one trainer, fixed workout times and if you don't show up...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They give you crap about it, you know? And that keeps you coming.

GUPTA: These women say the concept has reaped serious results.

DEBBY GISS, EXERCISE PARTICIPANT: Working out alone is almost painful when you're used to working out with your friends.

GUPTA: More affordable than a one-on-one personal trainer, the buddy system creates an environment of motivation and encouragement, getting groups to their fitness goals even faster.

For Feeling Fit, I'm Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
