Belong to a gym? Or workout at home?

I do both, mainly the gym though

Can't stand the gym.....
I have a treadmill at home that I use almost everyday....don't have to wait in line....or get someone's sweat on me...
I also have EA sport active for xbox....so between the two I get all the exercise I need right at home.....and love having to option to be able to workout whenever I want...and not have to go anywhere to do it...

i work out at home, with weights, dvds, youtube and sparkpeople videos, jump rope, walking/running, and bike riding. every now and then i do go to the gym at my school for the elliptical and treadmill.

Both. Mainly gym for proper workouts, home for stretching, and the streets/local area for walking etc.

Both. We do P90X and Insanity at home. We still have a gym membership. I run @ lunch and on the weekends at the gym. I don't have a quality treadmill at home. I like working out at home because I've been less sick. I've been doing P90X since February of this year and I've only had the sniffles from time to time. I like to hit the gym to people watch and to see how much they bullsh*t.

Yeah, I said it.

Both work. I did them both. IO don't push like I do, when I pay 4 memberships. I like to get my money's worth. I go M-F and take the weekends off. Do both.
After my 2nd round of P90X, I started getting bored. Now I am doing a 3rd round but loosely following. I do C&B on Mon. but not necessarily the exact exercises.
Hope I helped

Nubyia is in the house! I watch you on youtube girl.

I live 30 miles from the nearest gym I can use. I have a hand me down weider plate machine, DVDs and when the weather isn't terrible, miles of open country roads.

I just recently got a membership to a gym and it was the best thing I could have done!!!! I have 2 kids so trying to fit in a workout when I get home doesn't usually happen. So luckily I own my own business and am able to take 1 1/2 hours to get my workout done during the day. Plus you can't beat the scenery!!

Depends on what kind of training you're doing and what equipment you're looking for.

I've done home workouts, led bootcamps and even Martial Arts clinics, but those will all differ from various types of sport training I might want to do from one time or another. eg...I don't have a 300 Lb Squat rack at home nor will I be buying one anytime soon.

I've worked in alot of gyms and the general rule is if it's further than 11 mins from your house, you won't use it as much. I personally have all the tools and knowledge o workout at home (including body weight exercises) but that doesn't make me motivated to do push-ups in my kitchen or crunches in the living room.

I personally find the focus is better in a gym and I can train for whatever program I'm working on at the time with a large variety of equipment at my disposal.

As a bonus, my gym is part of a full community rec centre that includes two hockey rinks, a climbing wall, hot tub, lane pool, recreational play pool, 3 gymnasiums and more. Somedays it's nice to just go for a swim and a soak. :-)

That being said, anytime I've had a client ask me what the best piece of home gym equipment is, I always tell them it's the piece that you're going to use as its intended purpose and not a $1200 clothes valet. :-)

Cheers!

I go to the rec centre at my school a few days a week, usually between classes when I'm bored! But I have been doing insanity for 2.5 weeks so I do that at home every morning.. I like going to the rec center because when it's crappy outside, I have no excuses. I also like to do a variety of workouts and try new things, and the classes can be a good time. I really miss the Les Mills classes I took when studying abroad. An RPM sess would really stoke me right about now... I may have to hit up the local gym.

However I am graduating in May (and by that time I'm hoping to be in super good shape) and I wont want to lose that fitness! planning on grad school in Europe and I have no idea what sort of gyms they have there. I am sure i'll be doing plenty of walking though, and I'll definitely be bringing Insanity with me... as well as a bike Workouts should be exciting not the same all the time! If I had a choice I would ski, hike and snowshoe every day of my life... but apparently that is not an option?! maybe I should be a ski bum with my bachelor of science degree

I prefer working out outdoors, I also do P90X on weight training days....

I am not a gym lover at all......

I go to the gym 5-6 times a week. I have an elliptical, Wii Fit and a ball at home for emergencies but that's the only equipment I have. I have two kids so if I try to workout at home it's not going to be a very good workout. I have a friend I workout with, and we really push each other pretty hard. I also meet with a trainer 1 day a week to keep me accountable, and on track.

Right now I don't have a gym membership. But I wish I did, because I prefer doing cardio in the elliptical machine or treadmill. I like to do my strength training at home...just b/c a lot of big burly men are usually in that section and it makes me uncomfortable to be in "their" space. I dunno that may sound silly, but it's how I feel!

For me there's no clear "best solution" - some days it's really hard to make myself go to the gym, but once I'm there I've noticed I'm much more likely to get a really good quality workout in. When I workout at home, sometimes I'll start something and get distracted or find a reason to shorten my workout... but I may be more likely to start a workout than if I have to drive to the gym.
