Gym or home?

Do you prefer to work out at home, or in a gym?

I'm currently working out at home (going for brisk walks daily, exercising with fitness bands). I'd like to join a gym eventually. I find it more motivating. I find working out at home more challenging because I work full-time at a fairly stressful job and find it easy to head to bed to rest before dinner (my hubs does the cooking).

If you're napping instead of working out when you get home, go to the gym.

That's why I never recommend anyone get fixed db's. However, you can get a pair of adjustable db's that go up/down quickly in 2.5 or 5 pound increments from 5 pounds to whatever their max is, 25, 50, 80, 100, depending on the brand and model.

I bought a set of adjustable DB's years ago, but the latch which allows change in weight snapped after only a few uses. Here's hoping the years have made them more durable.

Gym team here although I haven't been at the gym for a long time (health issues and limitations). I am doing PT now and I hope to return to my "almost" regular routine in a couple of weeks. I live in a gated community and we have two gyms available and doesn't cost me anything to use both or either since they are included in the monthly HOA fees.
My house is not set up for a gym, and like other members said, I don't want to invest money in gym equipment either. I have some dumbbells and exercises bands at home that I use often, but that is all. I find the gym more motivating and it gets me out of the house for one to two hours a few times a week.
I also like variety in my routine, and by that I mean the use of different cardio or wt. lifting equipment that the gym provides. I can have determination and consistency but always doing the same thing is boring. I am already limited in what I do due to age and physical problems and working out at home makes it worse.
