Common conclusions
Head to the gym. When you pay a gym membership, you're more likely to go to the gym and get a workout. You'll try to squeeze some time for exercise in your daily or weekly schedule because you've paid money and that guilt will kill you if you don't use it. Also, seeing many other workouts can motivate you to hit the gym more regularly.
Most gyms have group workout classes and these come as a part of your membership. So, if you like that spinning class where a bunch of other people like you are working hard to get fit and lose weight, a gym membership is absolutely essential for you. You're one of those people who thrive in a social place and gym can give you that excitement.
Gym is the place for you! You can take a buddy with you and both of you can walk or run on the treadmill, motivating each other to achieve your goals. Also, just being around others who are working hard to get fit can give you a sense of belonging that is hard to replicate in a home gym.
Gyms have a lot of equipment, so you can try different workouts. Moreover, trainers at the gym can help you with the right weights and set up the equipment you want. Hiring personal trainers can also help to get you back in shape.
If your gym is too far from home or work, you're going to start making excuses to avoid it! Ideally, your gym should be within a three to five-mile radius from your home or work to increase the chances for you to go there at least a few times a week. So, look for a gym that's closer to your place even if the equipment there is limited when compared to a gym that's about 10 miles away and has some cool classes and new pieces of equipment.
This gives you the flexibility to design your own plan and gym is not a necessity as you have a wide range of workouts to choose from such as callisthenics, running outside, yoga, and more. A good alternative is to set up a gym in your basement or garage, so you can work out at your convenience. Still, you could head to the gym a few times a week to make the most of the equipment available there.
A gym membership can help you as trainers are available to guide you in the right direction.
