    90-120 minutes including warm up. No cardio.

    that- I don't do cardio at the gym unless I'm working on dance project stuff.

    45-60 mins (15-20 sets 5-8 rep range) on my own. With my personal trainer it's 35-45 mins (30+ sets 8-12 rep range with active recovery). My runs are normally 30-35 mins.

    My trainer can have me completely spent, doubled-over and gasping for breath in 20 mins.

    I'm doing the Staring Strength program; it's very fast at 30-40 minutes in and out, including warm ups.

    Well, I have a routine that I rarely deviate from. So it means my time in the gym is almost always the same ........about 2 hours. And I notice a lot of the same people who are in there when I am and many for about the same time. You know, you see the same people in there while you are there. I'm at the gym 6 days a week. Saturdays I take off........the Sabbath.

    Anywhere from 45min to hour and a half, depending on whether I'm combining strength and cardio or lots of cardio with a bit of strength. Just finished six days straight. Haven't worked out in quite awhile so I'm trying to get it going and make things happen. Hard to imagine getting any results only doing two or three times a week. Used to have 'six pack' abs, cut pretty nice ages ago and remember going almost every day to get em. Now I'm just trying to trim the '24 pack' down to flat again. Hard work. But I am absolutely determined to have a flat stomach again. Nothing will stop me, I'm done with seeing that stupid bulge around the waistline! I'm also noticed at the gym, Planet Fitness btw, that too many people just take a laze faire attitude towards working out. Me, I'm pushing hard and trying to make gains. Too many are just going through the motions. Why bother if you don't want to put in any effort? Just stay home IMO.

    it depends - when I am not training for something - no more than hour if I`m doing weights - I work with a trainer so the work out is quite focused, or 45 mins of cardio

    I just got back onto a cycle of training for my next lifting event so as of this week the intensity has been upped - it will be 3 days a week of specific training for the event of 30 - 60 mins and 45 mins cardio and 2 days a week of general lifting and 1 day a week 1 hour cardio - I would never be putting that much time in if I wasn`t working toward a competition -

    I usually train for about 2 hours on lower body and strongman events days but upper body days only take about 45min to an hour because I don't need as long to recover between sets.

    If you are pressed for time look into doing barbell complexes, battle ropes, etc. You can get an awesome cardio workout in about half the time as a treadmill or elliptical.

    About an hour on weights days (three days/week) and about... 30-40 minutes on my yoga day.
