    Even if you only use the elliptical at the gym, once you go to the gym, the chances of you not finishing your workout are slim.

    However if you have a piece of equipment at home, it is very easy to slack off, or even skip a workout.

    I wouldn't suggest it.

    I am an example of this also... Zachary is right, BUT when I tell someone from Mfp my goal for the next workout, they keep me accountable and I hate letting people down...

    I live 45 miles from the closest gym... So workouts at home are pretty much my only option.

    Free gym privileges and no room/ money for any of the big machines so I'm more than willing to drive out to spend an hour or so on a treadmill. If the gym is closed or if it's during peak hours I just throw on my workout clothes and walk around the neighborhood.

    I prefer to work out at the gym, but like having the option to stay home. At the gym, there is variety. And if a machine breaks down, someone else has to fix it. Also, the machines are better quality than what I would have in my home. But I know people who spend thousands on their treadmills and ellipticals. That's not something I would want to do.

    The majority of my workouts are runs and I always prefer to run outside - however, on days that I cross train or weight train ... or didn't get my run in before sunset I use the gym. I have tried working out at home and have found that I usually procrastinate working out since I know I can do it anytime at home ... but it normally ends up with me waiting too long and falling a sleep before I get my workout in. so with that said I like that the gym hours hold me responsible to go at a reasonable hour and there are no distractions at the gym ... but that is just me. I know others who have a great routine and always get their workouts in at home. Also wanted to mention I just hold a $10 a month at a small gym - making it worth it to me :)
