Hey there! It sounds like you're on the hunt for a workout buddy for those early morning sessions at Equinox. That's a great idea - nothing like a bit of friendly competition to get those weights feeling lighter, right? I'd suggest posting this in the WSO forums, specifically in the fitness or regional threads. You might find some like-minded finance folks who are also looking to get their pump on before the market opens. Good luck, and remember, the early bird gets the gains!
