Is it worth going to the gym?

I'm undecided about this mainly because of the cost. I did it in the past (cost a fortune) and I really enjoyed it. I know that losing weight is definitely achievable without a gym membership as I lost 20 lbs just working out at home and eating a healthy diet last year.

What are your thoughts, is it worth going to the gym?

    I love my gym!! Of course I paid for a gym membership for 3 yrs before I actually went there...ugh! I wish I wouldn't have wasted all that money and all that time...I could have been achieving my goals so much sooner!!

    I usually go in the mornings before everyone else is up. I am there by 5:30 and leave around 8am. Its just me time. And I find that the weights are really helping to reshape my body. I used to think that I would need a tummy tuck for sure...now I am thinking I might be able to get smaller than I once thought, just by using the weights and doing the right exercises... I am sure I might still need a lil' tuck...but not what I used to think I was going to need.

    I certainly think if you're going to use the gym...religiously..its so worth the money!! :)

    It definitely is for me. The cost is $10/month for Planet Fitness. Much cheaper than many other gyms. I use the machines & it is much easier for me to track how I'm doing by adding the weight on the strength training machines and resistance on ellipticals & treadmills.

    Do you go to the one in AZ? I also go to a planet fitness - it's awesome for $10 a month :bigsmile:

    I mainly use it for the weights (i'm definitely not investing in a home gym) and the treadmills are handy when its hot/rainy. It's also nice to watch TV while running hahaha
