Just wondering how long of a drive you do to get to the gym to workout? Me and my brother drive about 30mins away currently and some people look at us like we are crazy...but its the cheapest gym we could find.

I have the Gold's gym in Seattle. I take a bus in (about 20 min) to go to work. Then after the gym I have to walk five blocks (about 15 min) to work from there. I usually stay in my workout shoes because my feet are in pain with heels.0

I live out in the country so I don't use a gym. The great outdoors is my workout. lol For swimming, before I open my own pool, I drive about 20 miles. I also drive to places to walk or jog.. some of them10- 40 minutes to 2 hours away for a change of scenery.0

Down one flight of stairs to the basement, or two flights if I am on the top floor of the house. I have a home gym.0

5 minutes on the bike.0

I walk 4 blocks to my regular gym and 20 to my crossfit box.0

i walk 4 blocks0

I'm fortunate, mine is about a 7 minute walk from my home. That was the main reason I chose it - I don't really like to exercise and I knew that if it wasn't really close and walking distance that I would never go.0

I go to LA Fitness & there's one that's like 5 min away. It's literally down the street from me. But I only go to that one for my training sessions once a week. My sister, who lives 15-20 min away from me has an LA Fitness down the street from her & I use that one about 3-4 days a week. Reason is I pick up my niece from school, so I hang out at her house until I go to the gym at 4 (that's when the kids club opens), then by the time I'm done, my brother in law is home. So I drop my niece off. It limits the amount of driving back & forth that I have to do.0

This! Mine is on my route home from work. If I had to make a special effort I wouldn't bother.0 -
It takes me 20 minutes and is on my way to work. No excuses not to go!0

Planet Fitness is pretty much on my commute to work in the morning. Adds maybe five minutes to what I would be driving anyway, so very convenient.0
-
my gym is a 45 minute walk away. I walk there and walk back.0
-
2.5 km - and I either Run there, or ride my bike... so that I don't have to 'waste' time doing cardio to warm-up before I hit the weights0

About 5 minutes away, and I pass by it going to and from work. No excuses!0

22 miles... (about 25 minutes or so). It is a couple of towns over but there is no gym in Podunk. One of the best investments we have made though... You have to go to that town to get anything anyway... so we were going there 4-5 times a week regardless.0

Cheapest gym you could find ... but how much are you paying in gas to get there??? My gym is 5 minutes up the street and I pay $20/month, no contract. Try a Y or rec center!0

I don't. I either run around my neighborhood and surrounding area or do exercise off the TV the fitness/exercise section. Always changing it up I do about anything: Kickboxing, Interval Strength training, Plyometrics Tabata, Tabata Intervals, Pilates, and Yoga. I even have tried some dance workouts on them but usually I can't get into them. I would like to try some Zumba though.0

Mine is about 1.25 miles away from my home. I walk, take the bus, or drive depending on if I have something to do after.0

I put on my fuzzy bunny slippers and climb over the sea of dogs to head for my living room!! YAY I hated going to the gym! LOVE my P90X0
