Going to the gym makes me lose 30 minutes at least for the road.
You also end up exercising near other sweaty dudes, staying in line for the squat rack or whatever, then showering in conditions that are rarely ideal.
Whenever I go to the gym it takes at least an hour to go through my training, plus 30 minutes to get there and back. At home I can do my strength training in 15 minutes. I will then bike to and from work daily and thus get my cardio too.
A majority of people that pay for a gym membership don’t go to the gym and that’s a fact.
It depends on the individual I guess, but in my case not going to the gym and exercising at home is what made me a doer.
- mcv 7y agoMy gym is just around the corner; a minute by bike or maybe a few minutes walk. In crossfit, you do the workout together and give high-fives afterward, which helps a lot with motivation. About half the participants are women, so not just dudes. I shower at home, but that's easy for me because it's just around the corner. I admit the distance to the gym and the fact that it's crossfit and not something solitary, makes a big difference. If I had to go to the other side of the city, I wouldn't go so much. A couple of years ago, I did HEMA, which was either on the other side of the city, or in another town altogether. Very inconvenient, but it was fun to do. Once I got kids, the inconvenience eventually won, and now I really prefer my sport closer to home.
