    I usually work out around 11pm if not later, eat after working out at around 12-1am, and continue to see the scale drop! Don't believe that myth at all!

    I'm pretty sure it's probably best to work out at night because by then you'll be finished eating and you'll burn off the calories you've consumed throughout the day.

    My gym time fluctuates, but I've never been to the gym past 6.

    Welll... I work second shift and I go to the gym after work (so I usually go between 11pm-midnight) and you know what? I've lost 52lbs, so I'm pretty sure she isn't correct. I'm not a morning person, so getting up early to go is out of the question. I usually have other stuff going on before work and just don't have the time to dedicate to going prior to working. So, after work it is. Plus, it isn't nearly as busy late at night.

    I too work out starting around 9pm and there are still a few people around too when my gym closes at 11pm. I don't know who was being rude or ignorant, but know that the time really doesn't matter...as long as you do it and stick with it.

    Hi, I always work out at about 8pm at night ( once the kids are in bed ). Do it when you can because its better than not doing anything. It works for me!!!

    Mon - Fri I work out at 6am and one night a week Ill go for a swim at 7pm.
    I wouldnt believe the person who told you that you will gain weight by exercising at night, sounds like sour grapes to me.

    Any time you can fit it in is good. During the week, I get most of my exercise cycling to and from work, but also walk up a nearby hill at lunchtime when I can fit it in. On weekends lately, I often spend much of the day walking or cycling.

    You all really just made my day. I'm so relieved to see so many people work out at night.

    I have to work out at night time now, & I was rudely told that basically working out at night is pointless because you will gain weight.

    I work nights, so I work out at night. It's usually towards the middle to end of my "day"....around 1am or 4am. I have also tried working out after my shift, which is around 7am. I go to bed shortly after. No, it did not cause me to gain weight. Good luck!

    I do cardio and play racquetball in the mornings, and I do strength (body-weight exercises) in the evenings. The morning cardio has helped me lose about 60 lbs, pretty consistently, over about 6 or 7 months.

    I just started the evening exercises, and I have been gaining a little weight since then - not much - 3 or 4 lbs. I hope it's muscle mass, but I don't see it in the mirror yet.

    BTW, the evening exercises are with a very simple android app called "multi-rep" which I like very much.
