How long is too long?
Was at the gym for 1 hour 50 minutes today and noticed a lot of people arrived after me but left before me. It's a small gym so it's easy to notice.
How long are you usually there for? What is considered normal?

1-2 hrs and I think that is about average for the people I know at the gym.0

Regardless of what other people think - what do you think? Do you wish you were there less? Is the gym taking too much time out of your day and away from your other responsibilities? Or is it just fine? That is what matters.0

I hit the gym between 5 - 5.20 pm and leave between 8 - 8.20 pm. I do shower after a work out.0
-
Its not about long or short of time you are there its about what you accomplish in that time.0
-
Depends on what I'm doing - during my "rest" week I have generally been there for about 40-50 minutes per workout but on heavier periods I can be there as long as 1.5-2 hours, sometimes even beyond that but it's rare.0
-
When I was focsed on cardio, I spent more than an hour at the gym (like 90 minutes or so).
Since switching to a weight lifting routine, my workout takes about 55 minutes x3 days a week.0 -
I'm probably no use to you since I don't notice what normal is for most people but I try to do an hours solid work.0
-
I'm usually there for an hour and a half. Enough time to workout for an hour, and then clean up and change.0
-
It's going to differ due to lots of different factors. As long as you aren't in the gym 8 hours a day I think you're fine. Myself, I do about 30 mins of cardio, but if I'm doing weights it's more like 90 mins (with warm-up, cool-down, mobility work, etc factored in)0
-
Some people I know usually range between 30-45 mins all the way up to a couple hours.
If you think you've done a quality workout in whatever amount of time that you have, the quantity of minutes doesn't matter as much. Kudos for going hard for that long!0 -
45-75 minutes is normal for me0

me too... depends on what I'm doing, how I'm feeling, how rushed for time I am etc.0 -
About 2 hours. 1 Hour cardio the rest weights0
-
It can be anywhere from 1 hour to 4 hours... depends if I'm doing lots of fiddly stuff with weights or arsing about for no reason. Lots of reasons x0
-
weights only, by myself-45 mins
weights only, with partner(s)-60 mins
cardio or metabolic work, separate or with weights-20 to 36 mins0 -
I would say about 45 mins to an hour and a half. Some days I do 30DS, everytime I go I spend about 35 minutes on the treadmill (10 minute walking warm up, 1 min run/1 min walk x 10, 5 minute cool down - varies each day). I hit the free weights and various weight machines then call it a day.
Short and sweet.0 -
Usually between 45 minutes-1 hour0
-
If I'm in a rush about 40 mins. But I like to spend about 1-1.5hrs so I can try and really push myself, rather than just going through the motions.0

in and out in 60 - 80 minutes0
