working out at home or a gym?

It would be nice to do it at home, but I live in an apartment, so I can't disturb the neighbors with those weights. So I go to the gym. Because it is 24 hours, I can go in the middle of the night (which I prefer), because no one is in there, so I won't have to worry about distractions, plus I lift heavy, almost to the point where I can break machine weights (I have once actually). Also, because I lift so heavy that I tie up other equipment because I am using the weights off of that, and when I lift that heavy, I growl like a dog, so I don't want to scare anyone. The only thing I cannot do is anything barefoot, even though working my legs responds better without shoes on. Also, I miss having a bicycle to ride around in, but I'm probably the only person that manages to may my legs bigger from riding a bike (I rode with heavy stuff on my back on hills, and pulled a small car with a bike a few times). My legs got muscular enough to damage bikes (broke three). I especially like doing stuff outside in the snow. People think I am crazy because I have no coat on, but I am usually burning hot and the coat is in my way. It presents a challenge because doing your activities while maintaining traction, or being a good samaritan and push cars stuck in the snow. I also do all of my bulking in the winter, packing muscle, weight, and whatever I can to get bigger, and stronger.

Most of the time I prefer the gym, less interruption and more people to give you advice on how to improve your workout. BUT sometimes it can be way more fun at home.

I prefer working out at home with a home gym. Not only can I work out in the privacy of my own home anytime that I want to, but I don't have to travel to go to a gym. And best of all I don't have to worry about paying the ridiculous monthly fees that some of these gyms tend to charge. Happy mylotting!

I prefer to exercise at home, it's more private and free. I have dumbels at home and do push-ups and sit-ups as well as shadow boxing. For me it's enough to get fit. Working out at the gym is of course good if you have time and budget for it, since the equipments are complete there. Happy myLotting!

It would be nice to have gym subscription but i will just take advantage working out at home since im still saving up. I will soon take advantage of the gym membership if i have extra.

gym is pricey sometimes so i prefer to do it at home. Stretches anywhere. At n0 one can see all sweaty haha.

Hi, Yunion I have tried both and I think working out in a gym is more effective for me. At home, I can get distracted with the phone ringing or someone asking for a little help. But at the gym, I can be more disciplined, working out, and only stopping for water or a little breather. Have a nice day!

I can't see paying so much money to go too a gym when you can do most things right at home. The gym expensive is crazy now adays. So I just exercise at home.

I personally think a gym is a waste of money. For me it was. The most I ever worked out was when I had the at home videos. I had a ton of them and I would wake up early in the morning and do one of them. I alternated and did different ones each day depending on my mood. I always felt great after I did them though! Wish i still had that motivations.

home. i don't like people to see my body. i don't know why i feel embarrassed working out. sometimes i think "if i go to the gym people will know i think i'm fat"
