    About an hour 3x per week. I also spend about an hour on non-gym days doing low or moderate intensity cardio. Got stuff to do. Can't be hanging out there all day! ;)

    At least an hour, but often more (depending on how much rest I need and if I add in things as I go along my plan). I like being at the gym when I don't have any place else to be at a specific time afterwards, so that I can relax and focus on my exercises and not the clock.

    I guess it depends on what I'm doing. My lifting can take anywhere from 30 min to 1 1/2 hours. 30 min would be a basic 5x5 routine, 1 1/2 would include extra lifts and accessories. It would take even longer if I added some cardio warm-up and cool down. I try to keep it quicker when it's right after work and I gotta get home for dinner. But right now it's summer break so I can take my time. I also do a lot of workouts at home. They are anywhere from 20 min yoga to long circuit videos or multiple workouts.

    I wish that I had time to go more, but I've been super busy lately.

    I shoot for 3 days a week. Sessions usually last 45 minutes to an hour. I work out steady the whole time though. I usually do a 15-20 minute cardio warmup, then 15-20 minutes on weights, then another 10-15 minutes of cardio.

    For lifting, 45-75min (including warmup and rest), 4x per week.

    Cardio/Circuits 15-30min 1-2x per week

    Yoga 75 min, once a week

    30-60 minutes on cardio machines, 15-30 minutes stretching and doing band work, 60-90 minutes lifting. So a total of 2.5 hours typically.

    I ditched my gym membership when I moved last year. Currently I spend 30 minutes 3 days a week lifting in my home gym, then spend anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours walking, running, cycling, or swimming outside.

    2 to 5 hours - Monday through Friday. Except this past week because I pulled my shoulder/neck or something and couldn't turn my head. It was heinous. I had to stay home all week and actually try to eat 1200 calories. :s

    3 days a week and usually no more than an hour lifting. Maybe 1.5 hrs if I feel lucky. Gym for me is lifting mostly. 3 other days a week or more I'm doing cardio outside like biking, jogging, tennis, etc. My job still plays a factor in when I can make it to the gym. My main focus currently is the cardio workouts! Burn them calories MFP friends!!

    However long it takes. Could be 30 minutes, could be three hours. I get in, get my program done and get out.

    30-40 mins/day. I hit it hard with HIIT cardio half the time, and bodyweight intervals the other half. Boom! Done!

    4x per week 1.5 to 2 hours including warm up, workout, and cooldown.

    20min - warm up, dynamic stretching, cooldown

    60-90min - resistance training around 5min break breaks between sets and sometimes waiting for a bench. Why is it only the bench I have to wait for? Deadlift/Power clean platform always open and same goes for the squat racks.

    i like it in there. if i'm crunched i can just zoom in, do my 5/3/1 workout of the day in not-doing-*kitten* style and zoom out. but if i have the time, i do just like the atmosphere unless it's packed. i sort of wander around thinking up other little things to do too. kind of like when you drop a few incidentals into your cart at the grocery store checkout point.

    same kind of thing, really. go in on a mission, do the big grownup stuff, and then browse.
