    Is "both" an acceptable answer? I do both, and get results from both.

    Thanks for all your responses. I do love being home and working out but i may try both for a while just to see how it goes. I have never been a member of a gym other than the free gym at work and I personally dont like working out at work. I just feel that need to get away from work. Thanks again

    I do bodyweight strength, kettlebell and yoga at home and attend two yoga classes a week. I swim twice a week in a pool over winter and open water in the warmer months.

    The gym is no interest to me.

    I have a membership and do both just so I don't get bored. Today I'm lifting at home and then will do a cardio workout on one of my Pinterest boards. Tomorrow I'll probably just run at the gym.

    Both. I love taking classes and using the weights at the gym, but I prefer to walk or run outside.

    I workout in the great outdoors. I hate treadmills/ellipticals. I'd love to lift, but can't afford a trainer to show me how to do it right

    I am a member of a gym called Anytime Fitness. Although, I cannot go whenever I want. It is a small gym with no machines for your abdominals; however, it is cool for now. I also will go walking outside when the weather permits, and I will put my son in his stroller.

    My gym is 3 miles from home and has a much larger and more sturdy array of equipment than I could afford or fit in my house. I dont have to perform upkeep on equipment. Plus at the gym there isn't laundry or dishes or computer or TV taunting me to blow off working out

    Did videos at time for 6 weeks, then the gym for 6 weeks, back at home now and living it! It sucks to wake up start my car and drive at 6am. It's stinking cold outside! Looking forward to spring, think I'll do another 6 weeks at the gym to be ready for summer!

    I do both, I will walk/run outside/@park, alone or with a good friend when schedules allow, I hit the gym (PF) near my sons Karate classes and I go there while he does his class. Its nice especially when the weather is less than ideal. I also do DVD's and I have a cheap elliptical and stationary bike in the basement that I can do while I watch my TV shows.

    I work out 95% of the time at the gym. Those random terrible weather days I end up doing my Zumba Kinect or Biggest Loser Boot Camp dvd. I find that once I get home I get distracted. My home is a place of relaxation for me.

    I enjoy going to the gym. Its a little dedicated "me being healthy" time. The one I go to has lots of equipment to use and classes if I want to attend one...or not. No distractions or temptations. Friendly faces.

    Right now I'm working out at home. We have a free gym in our neighborhood but it blows. There are always young teens monopolizing the free weights and weight machines. And they're not really using them. They just sit on the them and talk. There's a 24 hour 10 miles from here and Costco has a deal where you pay $350 for a 2 year membership with 24 hour. I'm saving for a down payment on a new car, but as soon as that's done, I'm buying a gym membership. For now, workout videos, walking, jump rope, stair machine and occasional trips to the neighborhood gym are going to have to cut it. But I can't wait to be back at the "real" gym. Love it!

    With the gym, it's scheduled. I can go in and get my workout done. I try to do it at home, but there are too many distractions.

    I used to go to a YMCA gym and have personal trainer sessions. The gym was crowded and the trainer was not really interested in my progress. So I cancelled and signed up with a kickboxing gym. So much better :)

    All of the above- depends on what's feasible. My burns were much better at the gym but all workouts are effective.
