Do you go to the gym? - Page 5

My health insurance plan gives us a membership to a gym yearly. I go to LA Fitness in my neighborhood and use the treadmill. It's great especially in our hot climate here to walk inside where it is air conditioned.

No, I don't. I bike ride, in nice weather I bike outside, in bad weather I have a stationary bike. I listen to music when biking inside as it can be very boring!

When I retire next year, I will join the Y with hubby and go with him for free!!!
My stationary bike is how I read all those books I post about in the book forum!!

@beckyb1012 Maybe I will try reading instead of listening to music!!! I am sure it would much more exciting! I would probably ride longer as well...

@Melbalee When I didn't work, I was a gym rat. Loved it. But I work full time now so I workout at home.

my brother owns a gym, I go occasionally, but prefer working out at home . No getting dressed , driving there etc. the driving round trip would take me longer then a whole work out in the privacy of my own home. Then jump in the shower done !

Not really a gym @Melbalee . But I go most every day to Jazzercise and absolutely love it. Been doing it since 1989. There's nothing like it. If you like dancing it's the best because it's FUN and you get a great workout.

@cjm61 @I agree jazxercise is fun ! Two good friends and myself did go a couple of years ago and liked it ! We always liked dancing so it wasn't like normal exercise

I never got into the gym thing because I used to work 45 to 50 hours a week and the driving back and forth was just wasted time I could put to much better use.

I always had the feeling that many people go to the gym to socialize, more than anything else.

I have an Aeropilates machine in my home, and that works for me just fine. No waiting for machines.

I can even work out in my pajamas very early or very late, and I like the freedom to do what I want, when I want.

@Tinkrbl44 I totally Agree! And yes in my pj's many times , why not !? 😉

The gym I used to belong to closed. I think the pandemic was a factor. Too bad. I always met nice people there.

I used to be a gym rat.
Then we had a Total Gym, an elliptical and a treadmill in our basement that I used every day.
Now, I walk outside year round.

I can't imagine going to a gym these days with all of the lazy, inconsiderate people.

They hog machines and don't wipe down after they finish using the machines.

@Melbalee we have a very large home gym

No, I never liked outside gyms, but I workout routinely in my finished basement that has a treadmill huge mirror, and tons of equipment- Or I use the Apple fitness app on my iPad- Great variety there!
