    It's about 25-30 miles away and I go in the evenings. I'm not a morning person, and I go to work at 7:15a. There is a closer gym, but their hours are terrible.

    A flight of stairs in the winter, and my porch/yard in the sunmer.

    When I did go to a gym, I always located it closer to work than home. I don't think I've ever gone to the gym from my house. Always from work.

    My gym is across the street (a very busy street). It's a 0.4 mile run and a 3 minute drive (gotta wait at a really long traffic light).

    10 minutes driving. I tend to go early in the morning after I drop my boyfriend off at work (4am) and before I go into work (8 am) if I don't go then, then I go late at night 830pm or later. Right when my son is getting settled into bed.

    5 minute driving but I often walk to it and it is 2 miles each way so it takes me a little less than 40 minutes each way while walking.

    Three miles currently. When I was working out of town, I joined at an Anytime and it was ok for where I was, but I didn't enjoy that particular one. Now that I'm in town again....I definitely count my blessings that I am so close. I think driving a long way to workout would deter me a bit. Even though I do love my gym time!

    Work is 8 miles away(13 minutes) and the gym is about the midpoint between home and work. I usually go on my way home. Big time convenience, as I'm not so sure I'd go if it was out of the way of my routine.

    My gym is at work and 3 miles away. I usually bike to work (about 20 minutes) unless it's raining.

    My gym is about 15 minutes from my house and 5 minutes from work (it is between home/work). I only go there to swim, and either go before work or on my way home from work. I do all strength sessions in my workout room in my house. Biking and running are either from my house, or meeting people someplace - could be anywhere from a 5 minute drive to a 30 minute drive, depending on where we're meeting. Yoga is at a studio that is slightly out of my way going home from work - takes me about 25 minutes to get there from work and 5-10 minutes to get home, depending on traffic.

    Used to be 20 minutes until I bought my own equipment. My gym didn't have wifi..at all :/ Plus the creepers. Now I roll out of bed and go to my front room - so worth it compared to the money wasted on gas everyday. All ready paid for itself! Now I have wifi for my music too.

    It's a 15 second walk from my bedroom. Just down the stairs and out to the garage. Can't get more convenient than that. When I did go to an actual gym, it was walking distance from our house (though I never walked), or less than a 5-minute drive.
