Gym Memberships + Workout Classes - I used to be in a gym for 7-8 hours/week for years, but now I can't stand it. Realized I can get a comparably effective workout doing calisthenics at a local park while breathing fresh air and looking at the sunset and mountains.
I had a 24 hour fitness membership and a trainer when I worked in an office but after I started working from home it made more sense to invest in a home gym. So I got some Olympic barbells and bumper plates, a squat rack, bench, resistance bands, battle ropes, medicine balls, and 2.5-55lb adjustable dumbbells. The mailman and UPS guys hated me since I ordered it all in Amazon. Much more convenient than going to a stinky gym and waiting for the rack to become free while the bros talk about what supps they're taking.
- neilsharma 10y agoHaha good call. I guess its not the machinery at the gym that's the problem, but the culture, smell, and general atmosphere. I have a (wobbly) pullup bar and a punching bag at home, though I'd need to install some bars in the yard to get an acceptable home setup.
