    10 minute walk from my apartment. Any further and I simply would not go and I don't have a car.

    About 15 minutes in traffic after work, but its a Lifetime Onyx gym and completely worth it to me. I go four times a week, and on the off days I do yoga or something light at home.

    On the weekend it takes me 5 minutes to get there from home.

    my gym is 10-15 minutes away depending on traffic, and the park I like to run at is down the street from the gym...

    sometimes I have considered running to the gym...but it's on some major streets with scary traffic. I prefer to run in parks and places without traffic...

    the gym is about 3 miles from my house, so maybe 5-10 minutes, and the track i run on is about 1/2 a mile from my house so it takes me maybe a minute to get there.

    Takes me 8-10 min to drive to the gym. 17 min bus ride. About 30 to walk but all up a very steep hill, so if I did that I would not bother working out, I'd just turn around and walk home and log that.

    Thanks for all the replies everyone :)
    To those who were asking, Im paying $20 a month. Ive only had the membership for about a month so far, so the expense of gas there and back hasnt been a problem yet.... Im moving in a few weeks and then Ill only be down the street from the gym. Im sure Ill be able to go a lot more when that happens. :)

    I go to the gym in my apartment building. It is a 2 minute walk and no one seems to work out there. It is great for me because I can get a good workout with no distractions and can watch TV at the same time.

    My gym is about 6 miles from my apartment. 6 miles doesn't sound far, but the way to get there involves about 9 million stop lights...no traffic, it can take me like 10-15 minutes...traffic (which there usually is because I go after work) it's like 20-30 minutes. To go 6 miles. Stupid.

    There is one closer one, but it kinda sucks, so I go the extra 5 miles for the nice gym :)
