    I work out from home and love it! Like you said, there's no travel and planning involved therefore there's no excuses! PLUS there's no big crazy buff guys staring and me. lol!
    Add me anyone, and we can keep up together and bounce ideas off of each other! =)

    I strictly workout at home! I find it easier to get in if I do it in the mornings, since there are less distractions. Also I have several programs I can choose from and free weights. I have thought about a gym membership with my daughter, but decided that I am not sure I would get the full benefit of it.

    Haven't been to a gym in three years and I'm in the best shape of my life.

    I generally do, but it kinda depends on my schedule. I get a free gym membership through work, but working out at home is so much easier than fighting with people for equipment, and my basement gym is 90% of what I need, so...

    ^^This is my reason for wanting to do my workouts at home I hateee waiting on a machine, lol:grumble:

    I lift in my basement, but at times I think I'd rather go to the gym. 2 small windows and no interaction with others makes it feel like a dungeon.

    I do!! I do Insanity. I also rent workout dvd's like Billy Blanks, Biggest Loser etc from my local library. But I also have a membership to Planet Fitness when I have a sitter for the children so it works out well.

    I don't like the gym atmosphere and I'm honestly just too self conscious to work out in front of others. A few good exercise dvds, exercise programs On Demand, and the great outdoors are what work for me.

    How many people here workout from home??? I do!!! I still have my YMCA membership because of the kids but it's soo much easier to just get it done when I don't need a babysitter and to drive all the way there!!

    I love working out at home. It's so convenient and such a time saver. Every paycheck I like to add to my home 'gym'. And now there are so many awesome and FREE workouts available on youtube that there is no need to spend a lot of money on DVD's. I have a gym membership to mix things up a bit. And with the warm weather I have access to a lot of outdoor trails for hiking and running. But working out at home has always been the best way for me to go!

    I have a health club available to me, but the only time I use it is if it's pouring rain so I can do five miles on the thread mill. Otherwise I do my fives miles (or more!) outside on the road, and do my yoga in my home--I go to a class now and then but haven't really found an instructor I like who teaches at a time that works for me who isn't 30 miles away.

    I also have a Y membership but work out at home. Debating on cancelling it. I do videos from www.fitnessblender.com. I love them! Lost 3 lbs last week eating 1200 cal and working out with them online.

    I've never paid for a gym membership and I don't plan to. I have small children so trying to plan that time out of the house just doesn't work for me. I have an elliptical and do numerous DVDs: 30DS, TurboJam, TurboFire, and I go mountain biking when I can get away.

    I do. I have a 3 month old and my husband works long hours so I'm kind of stuck.

    I do both. If I know I'm running errands and will be by the Y or on base I pack a gym bag and some water and a protein bar and find my way there. If I am going to be at home cleaning or waiting on a delivery I'll do a video or use my free weights/bands/exercise ball. There's always a way, and always time
