home gym vs. fitness club

which do you fancy and why?

I used to have a home gym but after my divorce I left all my stuff in my ex garage and now I am working out at the gym again...

When I was working out at home there were days when I was slacking even though all the equipment was a few feets away.....once I get to the gym there is no way back....

im using a home gym at the mo, im following a workout guide thats for people using a home gym, its all the routines to follow with just a pair of dumbells and a barbell. It works well for me but it wont be long till i run out of weights, by that time ill be more experienced and confident to move onto a fitness club gym. As im slowly increasing my weights itll happen sooner or later.

as to the why part, i can freely do what i want. Yawn, fart and watch the footy on TV as im resting from a set. No pressure hey in your own privacy, but my set-up is outdoors and at night it gets very chilly, and i prefer to hit the gym with shorts and no top.

I work out at home, I have a decent setup; barbells, smith machine, bench. I have worked out at Golds Gym which is the only thing even close to my house, but I got tired of being engaged in conversations with milfs every time I turned around. The equipment at Golds was very nice tho. Before that my gym experience was 3 1/2 years in the weight shack in Federal prison so working out in my shed seems more comfortable to me.

I worked out at home for a couple of years. No way does it match some of the machines available at the gym. Some people prefer free weights only, but I personally like a combination of free weight compound, cables and some isolation machines. I could never affford to get all the stuff I would need to have in my home, much less the space to have it all.

The gym is convenient and once my workout is over I can talk to the cardio bunnies.

I prefer to workout at home. I have a power rack; EFS bench, hyper, leg sled, dip stand and all kinds of goodies... I don't like to wait in line at the POWER RACK while some dude is doing "cheat curls" or "upright rows" Aaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!!! Not only that but having my own equipment makes it much easier to workout when I have other obligations that arise. Heck, I don't care if I workout at 0500 or 2200 as long as I get my workout done for the day.

Also, forgot to mention that when I do some Dinosaur training or strongman workouts people look at me like I'm psycho or something Walking around people and their equipment doing farmer's walk or pacing the gym doing power holds or other shit people don't do very often. Thinking about it, it's time for another strongman routine here soon getting burnt out on power cycles...
