Mine is at night. When everyone is asleep, so I can't be bothered.
I'd like to start working out in the mornings.. but I can't get myself to do it because I fear my family with bother me in the middle of it.

    I prefer to hit my workouts early in the morning before everyone is awake. I like the feeling of getting it finished and not having to worry about it for the rest of the day. However, with workouts on my schedule right now that are over an hour long, it's hard to fit that in without waking up at 4am. So I try to do the 60 minute or less workouts before I leave for work every morning, and the longer ones right when I get home. That way I'm not tempted to take a nap or be lazy :)

    My best time to workout is early in the morning before everyone wakes up. Plus I've found the gym to be a peaceful place at 4am, too.

    As I'm on the east coast and we're in a heat wave I exercise in the evening/night indoors if it's just too bad out. When it's not deathly hot out I usually exercise in the afternoon to evening.

    I prefer in the evening but today did a boxercise class in the afternoon. I go to exercise classes now and only use the gym for weigh training so it's whenever the classes are. I don't mind too much in the afternoon though, just depends on whether I'm working or not as to when I can go.

    My favorite 2 times. Early in the morning. And directly after work. I don't like late evening workouts, makes it hard to schedule dinner around working out plus makes it harder to get relaxed for bed.

    I PREFER TO WORKOUT IN THE MORNINGS. THING IS I LIVE IN MIAMI AND TEND TO DO THE 9AM BOOTCAMP, WHICH IS OUTSIDE AND VERY HOT & HUMID. DON'T MIND THE LATE AFTERNOON EITHER, IT'S A LOT COOLER, BUT MY DAY DRAGS IF I DON'T TAKE CARE OF EXERCISE IN THE AM, LOL.

    On the weekends, first thing in the morning. It's after work during the week. I'd like to workout in the a.m. before work, but I don't want to get up any earlier than I already do.

    I go to the gym directly from work at 4pm. I think of it as part of my work day. Have found it a great way to stay commited.

    I love working out around 8pm or 9pm. That's when I feel my best for exercise!

    During the school year, I must get up early and do it, otherwise it won't get done. Yeah, I'm dreading that... but I did it last semester, I can do it again!

    early mornings before the kids get up, as i then have the whole day to give them my full attention rather than spending the day obsessing that i need to workout...unfortunately i'm not a morning person and my daughter has a sleep disorder so i don't get much sleep so anything before 8am feels like the middle of the night for me

    I have been working out around 11 at lunch time, which is nice i dont have to get up early and I dont have to worry about it taking time in the afternoon.

    It also helps that there is a gym at my work...

    I am not a morning person but I do prefer to get the work out done/over with first thing.. which means I am usually at the gym by 7:15am on week days or a bit later (i sleep in) on weekends.

    I used to go at night after work but its too busy, hard to find parking and have to wait to get on cardio or weights. meh

    After work, a lot more flexible early morning and pepped up from running around like a maniac during the day

    About an hour after I wake up! If I don't do it then, I start to lose motivation throughout the day. :)

    I like working out on my lunch break or at night best. I am not much of a morning person. However, I will be going to school full time in the fall in addition to already working full time. I am going to need to adjust and start doing mornings then, which I have done before.
