I also go to planet fitness, well when I can... I like to go Saturday & Sunday afternoon and if I can get there during the week I go after I have dinner. That way the after work rush is over and when I get home I can shower and put on my lounge clothes. Also with working out later in the evening, i dont snack and I dont have the cravings when I get home. Not sure if this is the suggested time to workout, but its what works for my schedule. Go when can and do it for yourself. Before I work out I set goals, this helps me push through.

I have found that working out right after I drop the kids off at school in the morning works best for me. Thats about 8am. I have been going faithfully since I started the challenge. I put my workout clothes on and go straight there after my drop off. Then I get dressed and head to work/meetings etc. I find that when I workout in the afternoon I am exhaused and don't burn as much.

I am also not a member of a tradition gym, I signed up at my local rec center. Its mostly older people and not crowded at all in the am. I do miss all the thing a 24 hour fitness has to offer but I don't miss the crowds or waiting for the machines.

Good luck:)

I actually workout on my lunch two days per week and afterwork the remaining days, I actually LOVE the lunchbreak strength training the most! I'm a bit exhausted right after, but it usually turns around and I'm energized until 5! On the days I workout after work, it's hard because,once I get home, I have to do some major self-motivation to get back out to my workout. I hope you find that perfect "sweet spot" for your schedule.

My workout times vary depending on my work schedule. I do think its better to get the workout done and over with early so you can rest and unwind in the evenings

We've put together a pretty good home workout room so I workout at home! So usually it's @ 5am. I rarely workout in the evenings. That burn in the morning gives me energy throughout the day.
