Been going to the gym for around 3 months and i have to admit i really do enjoy being there. Its a place where you can go and chill out and enjoy yourself.

Or am i being a total weirdo.

Anyone else feeling like me.

Unless I have a gym to go to, I am not nearly half as motivated to workout as I am just running on outside. Sure its nice to get some fresh air but its also fun to have a little competition in your head with the next person on the treadmill!

Yep, I feel the same way. If I have to miss a day at the gym I get cranky.

i love the gym. i put my son in the daycare there and while he's running around getting all his energy out im tuning everyone out with my music and just being alone...and since i work from home with a toddler this is the only "me" time i ever get...so no, not weird

I'm totally there now, too. Took me about 6 months, but now it's fun to go.

I'm the same way. I used to hate going now, I can't wait to get there. If I miss a day I go crazy.

I don't get to regularly go to the gym, because of so many schedule issues with work, kids, and trying to keep house, etc. But since I started MFP almost two years ago, I am happy to say that I love to work out. I use dvd's, my exercise bike, hand weights, walking, and my favorite--running. I used to dread working out and see it only as another item on my to-do list. Now I see it is "my time", I know I'll feel better when I finish, and I know how it helps me out calorie-wise, so I see it as postive, not negative. I actually seek ways to fit it into my schedule. This has been a huge help in my health journey! I think it is the way MFP lets you "earn" calories by exercising, instead of figuring a certain amount of "required" exercise into every day. The old way, I felt like a failure if i didn't exercise. Now I just compensate and eat less if I don't exercise. Since I like to eat, it makes exercising a very positive experience for me! I can see the numbers and appreciate just how I am benefitting!

The only place I am motivated to actually work out is at the gym so I dont think you are wacko! I just cant make my butt move if I am at home.

The gym is the one place I can go that kids, hubby, work, and worries can't follow me. All I have to think about is one foot in front of the other, the next set, the next rep, the next minute. For that hour or so nothing else exists. It is my selfish time. All about me. And I love it!

I love going to the gym I especially love the fuzzy feeling I get after exercise. I feel as though I have acheived something and it helps me wind down and relax x

Love my gym and the people (most) there! Made friends who notice when I'm there, what I'm doing, and even if I have a new pair of shoes: D

To those not loving their gym; go and make connections with other people. You will be surprised at how much that helps you to enjoy going. When you find a workout difficult, very often they do too. When you succeed, they celebrate too : )
