What time of day do you go to the gym? How long are you there for when you go? Do you go alone or with someone?

I go around 5:30 -6:00pm. I am there for an hour to an hour and a half. I've been going alone for the past 6 months, just recently made a new friend at the gym and we work out together 1-2 times a week.
What about you?0 -
Usually lifting twice a day, once in the early afternoon, once at night. Afternoon is about an hour and alone, night workout is 2 hours and with my lifting team.0

I don't go at all right now. I finished the couch to 5k program and have been running 4-5 times a week but I can't get motivated to use the weights we have in the basement. If I went to the gym, it would have to be when my husband gets home from work, so 8-9pm. I don't know how I'd like that... lol0 -
I go after work/evening and I do group classes. Pilates, Zumba and Aqua Zumba, Aero Boxing and Ballroom Dancing (although that's not the gym)0

Girl just do it!! You will be amazed at how your body will change when you add in lifting! Once you learn from your husband, you couldn't go without him?0 -

I should have specified, I'd go when he gets home from work so he'd be home with our kids. I wouldn't be going to the gym with him...0 -

Oh I see! Well it's worth a shot, you might not like the time you would have to go, but you will love how you feel afterwards. It would be worth it!!0 -
It depends on where I go. When I use the gym at work, it depends on what time my meal break is scheduled so that varies. On my days off, I'll go after the kids have left for school so around 0830. In the summer, I like to hit the gym first thing in the morning, between 0530-0600. Sometimes, my husband comes with me but we work out alone. I prefer to go by myself. I have my own routine and I don't feel rushed. I'll spend anywhere from 1-1.5 hours there.0

I go just after lunchtime when it's not too busy. I stay 1hr 30mins to 2 hrs. And I usually go and meet my sister there so we can motivate each other

I go to the gym 5-6 times a week. I always go around 4am and leave around 0545 am. I find that I have more energy during the day if i work out in the morning. I have tried working out at night, but after working a 12 hour day i was too tired.0
-
I go to the gym with my good friend every morning M-F at 5am for 30 minutes. We go that early because it's before my husband goes to work, and he usually does some typ of exercise after work so I like to leave him with a free schedule. I've also been running in the evenings some time 3 days a week because the weight wasn't coming off like I want it to, plus I just like running. Good luck!0
-
I either go EARLY EARLY in the morning after my hubby goes to work at like 5am for like 45 mins to an hour, or I go around lunch time anywhere from 20 mins to 45 mins, depending on what I'm doing that day. I have aquaintances there at the gym that I see just cause they go at the same time.. but I don't have anyone to go with me unless I go with my hubby, we do that mostly on the weekends he is off. If I go on a weekend I go fairly early anywhere from 9am to 11am for about an hour.0

It depends. I like to try and go in the morning -- around 6:30 -- but that doesn't always happen. I'll hit it in the afternoon around 1 or 2 p.m. On a typical workout day I'm there for probably 90 minutes, maybe a little more (30 cardio 60 - 75 min. weights). I go Monday thru Friday and I go with my husband. I love working out with him. He pushes me to lift heavier. He can tell when I'm not feeling it or not lifting what I should be and he'll bust my butt about it (or just shake his head an add more weight LOL). I've gotten so much stronger working out with him. People probably think he's a complete and total douche when they here him saying "Come ON Jennie! Push it push it push it!" LOL.0

I go after work weekdays at 4 for an hour and at weekends either at 7am or 8pm (just because it's free parking then!). I always go alone and to be honest, I wonder how the girls who go together get much of a workout at all because they seem to spend all the time chatting and you can see, as soon as one starts talking, they slow right down! I don't think they even realise they're doing it!0
-
I go after 6:30 pm, that's about the time all the after work people clear out and so it isn't so packed. Depending on what all I am doing, I can be there anywhere from 1 hour (cardio only days) to 2 hours (3 days a week I do an hour of lifting and an hour of cardio). I usually go alone, but now that my daughter is home from college for the summer, she has been going with me.0
-
I go every morning from 4:30 am to 7 am and three times a week I go twice a day. Once in the morning and once after work around 5:30 pm till around 6:30.0
-
I go around 1pm, with my sister (she's under 18 and has to have an adult present to go). We walk on the treadmills or bike on the bikes for a good 20 minutes, then we do ab workouts and free weights for 10 minutes or so. It's not a LONG gym session but we enjoy it and are tired at the end of it all. :-) (I think my sister also goes to look at the cuties that use the gym)
Oh I forgot to mention we go 4 to 5 days of the week :-)0 -
I try to spend as little time in the gym as I possibly can and as much time outside as I possibly can. I spend about 45 minutes a day in the gym. Maybe an hour. The magic happens outside the gym, not in it 0
-
I go anytime there's a class I like and can make it to. Also I go when I want to walk, jog, work with the weights. Anytime you workout is the right time and your best choice :flowerforyou:0
-
Normally I go for the classes so 9:30 to 11:00 in the morning or 5:30 to 8 pm at night. I joined a different very cheap gym and have been going with my husband between 10 and 12. We do an hour of cardio and leave. I have to do strength training.0
-
I go whenever I can but usually between 7-8. I am usually there for an hour to an hour and a half. It took awhile to adjust to going at night but I cannot go in the morning. Like you, all of the hoem equipment I have is not appealing to me currently!
One thing that helped me was to shower at the gym. It's just easier for me than coming home, getting distracted, and not hitting the shower until 10PM, and then getting a second wind!0 -
I go 6 times a week around 6:00 each night. i stay for an hour. I also workout in the mornings at home for about a half hour. I normally go by myself on Sunday's is my lazy gym day I go with a friend who is older and has had hip replacement surgery to motivate her.0
-
I go depending on my work schedule...which is all over the place. If I work before 10AM, I got after work and if I work later than that, I go before. However, I think when I work my overnight shifts, I'll go when I'm off work because the gym is pretty dead at 6 AM.0
-
I go at 5:15 AM because I won't be up for it in the evening.... How about you find a gym with a daycare, my gym has it for free! Now I don't have kids but this way you don't have to wait for your husband to get home and when he does you'll be full of energy since you just worked out! 0
-
I usually go in the morning (anywhere from 8-10 depending on the day and when I have work). 3 days a week I abs and major strength training before my cardio so I'm there for about an hour and a half. The other two days (I go 5 times on a really good week. But at least 4 normally) I spend about an hour doing abs/cardio.
I love going in the morning. There's a nice crowd but there are plenty of machines still at my gym. On Monday's I work really early so i have to go at 4 after work & it's more crowded. I don't like it
And I usually go alone except on the weekends when my Fiance and I go together. But sometimes it throws me off because I like to work out longer. I save my shorter workouts for the days I go with him if I can help it.0 -
I go to the gym in the afternoon because I am not a morning person at all, so i go right after work. I go about 3 times a wekk and run the other days. I go alone because every time I've gone with someone I end up waiting on them or talking too much and I find that it detracts from my workout0
-
In the morning at 10:30am, im out of there by 12, so roughly workout for just over an hour, this is 4x times week. I workout out on my own, prefer it tbh.
its took many years to get this routien perfect though trail and error0 -
I go in the mornings during the summer ( I work in the school system) and I'm there about 90 mins doing a warm up, resistance training & a cool down. I used to go to the gym with the hubby but I've been going alone for a few months now, I enjoy the alone time!0
-
I go to the YMCA, so I go an hour before the open pool time. (I do my regular work out first, then swim for an hour or so)
If you have a YMCA in your area, most of them offer 2 hours a day free daycare for members. You should check it out!
Oh, and I go alone on the weekdays and with hubby on weekends.0 -
What time of day do you go to the gym? How long are you there for when you go? Do you go alone or with someone?
Like this morning I was there at 5a and will be going back at 615 for a class. My mission is to go for cardio in the morning, and weight work in the evening. I do at least an hour, more if I can. I go alone, my friend is too lazy to go with me.0
