There is so much variation in how people prefer to workout, whether it be at the gym or at home. Personally I hated the gym. Monthly fees, no idea what I'm doing, conflict in class schedules. So I started working out at home on my own schedule. Who else prefers working out at home rather than the gym?

    I enjoy both, but when you have the ability to work out at home it helps cut out another excuse not to exercise :)

    That's what I am doing. I much rather prefer getting down to just a bra, booty shorts, and tennis shoes and getting a good workout in! :P

    I actually like both but I really like working out at home and trail running . Feel like a hamster on a treadmill.

    Right now I'm doing a bodyweight circuit at home, to build some better stability before I "look" at the gym again.

    I don't have a problem with the gym though, I actually use to go all the time. Can be very annoying when a 30 minute workout takes 1hr + cause you have to wait forever to get on the stations you need.

    I'm thinking of buying my own squat rack because of it and forgoing the gym altogether, currently shopping around at local places to try to get an idea of what the "population" is at them.

    I workout at home. The gym wasn't in my budget when I first started, 3 years ago.
    Now, I just prefer it. Plus, I have a pretty badass collection of equipment that I am continually adding to.

    I hated the gym with a passion. I love working out at home. Sometimes I just go "off book" and just dance around my living room (which, according to my HRM, can actually blast some serious calories.)


    I can also wear my decade-old drawstring pants with the hole in the crotch and no one gives me side eye. Win win!

    I don't have much choice. I dig it though. I feel like going to the gym on the regular would be hard to do.

    I have actually never been to a gym, but I have a 3-year old with me all day. Just easier to hop out if bed, get my workout in and get on with my day rather than driving somewhere and finding a sitter

    I prefer to be at home. I don't want to drive there to a gym and drive back or worry about what I look like:-) I jog, bike, lift and do dvds.

    The last part has me dying right now. Yes, LOVE dancing around getting my heart rate up. Dance is such a great cardio!
