I have trained alone in my basement for 6 years now. Nobody wants to get in the gym at 4:30 am I guess.

1) Train with a power cage so that you can set the safety bars for assistance if you cannot find a spotter.

2) Choose your program with care so that you don't have one that requires a lot of team exercises like medicine ball tosses, etc.

3) Maintain a strict training regimen, observing good form, proper rest intervals, etc. It's easy to fall into bad habits when you don't have a partner waiting to use the equipment or to urge you on or give you a little competition.

4) Don't sell yourself short when you train alone. Train as though the world is watching.
