Is it ok to workout for like 2 hours straight at the gym?

I do this on a regular basis. I usually spend about 15-20 minutes stretching to warm up, followed up with a little more than an hour doing weights and machines and finishing with 15-20 minutes of 6 mph treadmill cardio. I do this 6 x week and haven't had anything other than positive results. Start off small and work up to this point, do not over-exert yourself and listen to your body.0

I sometimes take 2 classes.
Not so sure I'd do 2 weights classes, but if it's Spin and yoga why not?0 -
Yep will do that. Thanks0

Of course. My standard routine takes 2.5 hours.0

Nope. 3 hours minimum.0

If you enjoy it and have the time sure ..as long as you incorporate decent rest days and support your workouts with adequate calories
Is it necessary? Probably not
But that wasn't the question I guess0 -
if you super set your circuit it will add to your cardio - you can be done in an hour. However so long as you are not working the same muscle group 2 days in a row it's up to you if you want to spend more than an hour in the gym. I do cardio every other day by itself and super set circuit 3 days a week. I worked with a personal trainer and it helped cut down my time in the gym. But if I had the extra time, sure I'd stay there doing something LOL

It's ok as long as 1) you're not over working yourself and 2) you can do it consistently (and are willing to). I'm more of a fan of in and out in under an hour if I can, but that's because of my schedule or just simply my enjoyment. If I'm there too long, I tend to not want to return. So working out more often wins (at least in theory since I missed the boat to renew my membership so I'm on the hunt for a new gym).0

I'm here just to add another question:
With my tight schedule, I have two choices:
1: go to the gym (or workout in general) 5-6 times a week for an hour each
2: go to the gym 3 times a week for 1.5 to 2 hours each
What do you all reckon?

What are your goals? (Endurance cardio or training for long duration sports would change the answer.)
Can you sustain the same intensity / quality of training for the longer workouts as compared to the shorter ones?0 -

Sure...I'd go insane but that's only because I use the gym to lift only and lifting shouldn't take 2 hours. I only occasionally do cardio in the gym and I usually want to just shoot myself while I'm doing it. Where the gym is concerned, I like being in, getting my work done, and getting out.
Riding is another matter...I can ride for hours...I rarely have time to do so, but I could literally ride for hours every single day if it were possible.0 -
Depends on what your plan and training is.
Is 2 hours necessary? absolutely not.
can you get a great whole body workout under 2 hrs- absolutely.
Do some workouts take that long- absolutely.
Do you need to do them- probably not.0 -
There is nothing wrong with it, personally I only do it on occasion if I can take my time, but really I would never do more than an hour, there is no reason why you should either.0
