The title pretty much speaks for itself.

What time does your alarm go off when you haul yourself out of bed and head to the gym/out for a run/switch on the exercise DVD player, etc?

Also, what time do you go to bed?

I get up around 6.15am and usually do a good hour of running then do stretching for 10 minutes or so when I get back. I work from home so I don't have to commute to work.

On weekends, I usually get up around 7.30am and head out.

I have an alarm that goes off at 9.30pm each night that tells me to get ready for bed. This helps me get a decent sleep so I can maintain my exercise routine.

How about you?

    On gym/lifting days I my alarm goes off at 5.00 to get to the gym when it opens at 6.

    On non gym/lifting days I just get up at 6.30 and weekends whenever I feel like it (usually 7-8am)

    5:45am, so I can get out of the house by 6am. Then I'll surf if theres a wave, otherwise ride my bike up the coast
    I go to bed at 10pm-11pm.

    No alarm. Usually up by 3:30-4 & at the gym by 5:30 for Spin or 5:45 for Body Pump. I just started a C25K training last week so I'm going to shoot for making it to the gym by 5am to hit the TM first.

    On weekdays, my alarm goes off at 4:30am if I'm going to the gym. I leave my house by 4:45 and am at the gym by 5am. I have about an hour and fifteen minutes to spend there before I have to get home to get ready for work. On weekends, I'm normally awake by 7:00am anyway (and my gym doesn't open til 7 on weekends) so I usually get there before 8am.

    Unless your route to work from the gym passes your house, I'd get ready at the gym.
    I purposely picked a gym that was pretty much on the way to work so id go before work or if I wasnt feeling 100% that AM, go on my way home.

    I get up about 430am. Im there a little after 5am.
    Get ready there and then off to work!

    Alarm set for 6, but usually wake up on my own ~5:45, and out the door by 6:00 for a 3+ mile walk.
    Out cold by 10 PM.

    Alarm = 4:30 am every day. I usually wake up a few minutes before that. I set an alarm for 8 pm to remind me to go to bed. Let's get going!

    If I go length swimming I'm up 6am and walk to the pool, finish about 8:15 and get a lift there to work. Not a great morning person for exercise but I might get up at 6am for some yoga or a workout DVD. I'm usually in bed by 10:30

    On weekdays the alarm goes off at 5:45am for either a run outside or an exercise DVD at home. On weekends it varies. I usually have rest day on Saturday and do longer runs on Sundays- out the door by 10 or 11am.
    During the week I'm in bed by 10.

    My alarm goes off at 2am M-F. At work at 3:30am. My workout and/or run is when I get home in the evenings. Try to be in bed by 9:30pm.

    No alarm -- up by 4am (most) everyday (can sleep till 4:30 on Sundays). Stuck on the elliptical right now (winter) - my 45 mins need to be done by 6:15 or so (7 on Sundays). Anxiously waiting for clear roads so I can resuming racewalking/running - workouts become longer then but...............wakeup time stays about the same.
