How Training Together Helps Imi & Lily Get Stronger for Basketball
Training with a friend can be the ultimate game-changer — just ask Imi and Lily.
These two hit CORE24 twice a week to build strength, boost motivation, and push each other to new heights on and off the court.
Meet Imi & Lily: Basketball-Driven and Gym-Focused
Imi and Lily aren’t just friends — they’re teammates, training partners, and each other’s biggest supporters. With basketball as their shared passion, they’re using strength training at CORE24 to take their game to the next level.
💬 “We’re building strength for basketball, and it helps to train together. We push each other every session.”
Their weapon of choice? The leg press. It’s their go-to for building lower-body power and explosiveness — essential for quick pivots, jumps, and powerful drives on the court.
Why Training With a Friend Works
There’s real science (and lived experience) behind the idea that training with a buddy makes a difference. For Imi and Lily, it’s about more than just accountability:
✅ Shared goals — They’re both focused on becoming stronger, faster, and more capable athletes
✅ Mutual motivation — When one of them feels off, the other steps in to lift the energy
✅ Constant feedback — Spotting technique, suggesting ideas, and celebrating progress
💬 “We feed off each other’s energy and ideas.”
Twice a Week. Every Week.
Imi and Lily have found their rhythm: training together two times a week at CORE24. That consistency, plus their shared drive, keeps them progressing without burnout.
And with 24/7 access and five locations, it’s easy to make it work around study, sport, and everything else life throws their way.
More Fun. More Progress.
Training solo can be powerful — but having someone beside you can spark a whole new level of commitment and enjoyment. Imi and Lily’s story is proof that fitness is better with a buddy.
So if you’ve got a friend who’s ready to train, lift, or even just try something new — bring them along. You might be surprised what you can achieve together.
