Is it worth it to have a membership with the gym if I can only go twice or 3 times a week at most?

Question

I want to get a membership with the gym next to me but I get home from Uni at 9:30 pm 4 times a week and that's when the gym closes. Which means I can only go twice or 3 times a week.
It's also quite pricey but I was there last year and liked it (had a less busy schedule).

➡️ I want to work out enough to see some difference in my body for next summer (slimmer/ more toned look). Can I see a difference if I only go 2 or 3 times a week to the gym?

Well it's not like money is an obstacle for you so that's not an issue I take it.

If you can only go 2-3 times a week and you do get a membership then simple make the most out of your time there, prioritize and combined workouts, double up etc, it's pretty doable and simple. But its not like you women have much to work on anyway, get skinnier and get toned and get a better ass, all of which can be done going to the gym 2-3 times a week and doing stuff at home.

Your only other options are

Doing simple body weight exercises with no equipment.

Buying your own gym equipment to use at home so you don't have to worry about gym times.

Or find a gym farther away that's open later or 24/7.

Since when is coming home at 9:30 an excuse. Anyways when you really want something you'll always find time

2-3 times is perfectly fine but you're nutrition and intensity has to be on point. You also have to be consistent. At 3 times a week that gives you about 156 workouts in one year. So they all have to count

How much is the drop in rate, and for what lenght of time does this 'gym membership' span over?

A month pass at my gym is $45. A drop in is $4.75 so I'd need to be able/willing to go to the gym at least 10x/month to break even in terms of cost difference. If I can foresee that I'll go that much, if not more, for the following month, I buy a month pass.

Is it possible for you to go to the gym before you go to school? This might be a solution to your problem. Instead of going at night, try to wake up earlier and go to the gym.

If that is not possible, is there are gym at your university that you could go to between classes or during a break?

I only go to the gym 3 times a week, usually. And I see solid development on a regular basis. Rest time is just as important as workout time. If you really make use of the time you spend there, the days off will be beneficial to your body for recovering and getting stronger for the next time you go all-out. Cardio can, and usually should, be a daily thing for everyone, with or without the gym. And a summer body is highly dependent on that more than anything

Yumix · Answer

2x a week... borderline. 3x I'd say yes.

just calculate the price per visit and decide yourself if that's too much or not.

57€ per month means you pay 4.75-7€ per visit depending on how often you go.
I personally think more than 5€ per visit on average is too much.

But that was not just access but also with a coach who helps you right? You need to know how important that is for you

Your health is the most important. 2-3 days should be more than enough and you can also workout at home during schooldays

Depends on what you're paying. I pay $10 a month which is nothing really. So yeah it would be worth it to me.

ProbablyTooMature · Answer

I hate the gym, so I would never have a membership. But if you don't mind going 2-3 times a week means 8-12 times a month. To me that sounds like it would be worth it.

SilenceMeansPatience · Answer

I swear I was gonna ask this same question. in my opinion 3 times yes and 2 times yes if you make a program to fit that

Azgeda · Answer

Eh. Depends.  How much does the gym membership cost?

Shoot I go to mine Friday and Saturday night and Sunday evening and I saw results. Just be sure to eat healthy also and you'll see results for sure 😊

NatashaJ · Answer

Isn't that standard for a lot of people? going 2 or 3 times a week is this at your University/College?

HauteBrilliance · Answer

2-3 is like the average time people go to the gym, to become fit. But, if you really wanna be fit and pack some muscles, then you're gonna have to do much more than that.

Winter_Storm_Guy · Answer

I would say 2 or 3 times week isn't bad, what i would do if you can once a day do a 30 minute walking program, you can lose weight with it and gain strength etc.

hotstuffSRD · Answer

at least 3 days is what you need
But you better not skip those 3 days and rest will be considered as rest which will help your muscles to heal
Plus you have like 6-7 months so you can still reach your goal if you'll fuck hard

Elkindtg · Answer

2-3 times a week with a good diet can give you good results, it's worth a shot but you have to take extra care with the diet.

Xfitchick · Answer

Yes, working out 2 or 3 times is already good to change your body

BubbleBoy69 · Answer

Why not just work out early in morning before you go off to classes?

archiz · Answer

Puppylove94 · Answer

Do cardio circuits with body weight instead and get dumbells, a med ball and a jump rope. You can do a lot with those things

AynonOMouse · Answer

Get home equipment. It will cost less than a gym membership, and you can use it whenever you want.

stanhelsing · Answer

workout in the gym such as weights and stuff. Outside of the gym, do cardio, such as running and such.

sylarvox · Answer

If you don't want to get massive muscles, and if you are a girl looking to be slim and toned, you can just run and do body weights for resistance. That is completely free.
