Does anybody else workout on their own without going to the gym?

[Anonymous]

I've been working out since I was like 13 years old and I started in my house all on my own. Ever since, I never found the reason to actually head to the gym and workout. However, in college, I finally had the chance to workout in the gym and its annoying! You have to wait around and I waste so much time so when I do go to the gym I normally do classes, not only do u not have to wait around but u get such a good workout! But I do normally workout in my house and just in my zone. I like it better and plus I feel like a lot of pple just go to the gym now cause they just want to be a part of a trend.

Several years ago I found I had one rotator cuff almost completely torn. The other was bad also, though not as bad as the one. Surgery is the ONLY thing to repair it and would put me out of using that arm for work for 6 months. Too long to be out of work and lose the job because of it. (FEMA does not allow that much time) So the surgeon suggested physical therapy. I did that then continued on my own, which was necessary to keep things working.

Some of the exercises can not be effectively performed without appropriate equipment. So I have a gym membership. I do the exercises given me by the physical therapist, then I add time on a stationary bike for a cardio workout. I can read or study while I do that. Can't afford the equipment for at home, and don't have the room for them anyway.

It's not a trend... per say. It's almost like they want to at least put the effort, to try being healthy. You know... so they can say "i go to the gym". A majority of the people i see at the gym could easily accomplish more at home with a jump rope and some push-ups. It's irritating, i know. I hate when people go to the gym to socialize and clog op the machines.

Yes. I find you can work out a lot better at home. It saves you getting ready and travelling down there, worrying about how you luck or waiting for equipment. I much prefer waking up, working out in the morning in my living room in my pyjamas before having a shower, all for free! There's nothing wrong with working out on your own at home! There's loads of exercise and yoga channels that you can work out to (which I do).

I do now the two. I do exercises at home and at the gym. But yes, when I was 12, I started at home and used my body for training and invented all kinds of weights. I also started circuit running in the park and looked for trees and other stuff to exercise.

Yeah over the past few years I started out Doing aerobic exercises, zumba over a friend's house, and then HIIT workouts. But occasionally I'll just use the treadmill. I just never really liked gyms, they make me feel anxious, self conscious, and It didn't help that everyone there looked intimidating.

I work out at home when I don't feel like going to the gym or when I know it'll be packed. I don't like wait for some guy to get off a machine who's just sitting on it looking around forcing me to do extra reps. Fuck that, I'll just jump rope, do crunches, and walk to the park near my house.

When i went to the gym i saw a lot of people "socializing" and thats soo annoying they lean up against the equipment i want to use while bullshitting then get all offended when i ask if i can get on it so i just said F it ill workout at home so i built a flat bench and bought some dumbbells im a lot happier now plus i can get out of bed and get a workout done without having to leave!

[MyNameIsJonas]

Try Crossfit it might be up your alley.

I do both. Sometimes I do circuit routines with sprints outside that I come up with.

[Misterjay02]

I mean for my training I usually only to functional fittness workouts, but sometimes I need s gym for certain things

[Thegoodgirl88]

I do both workout on my own and go to the gym, my gym is tiny so it doesn't have a lot of people, so there no wait time

[Klaatu51]

used 2 do it... i used 2 walk/. run (if that counts) on my own... and i've lost tons of weight that way basically...\O/

[thatsjustme1]

I used tp workout at home. I didn't use any equipment either. Just some basic workout and little bit of yoga.

Even I hate to wait around and other people waiting for you to finish standing there its annoying.

[ChillinChic]

Have my own gym in my house for rainy days and cold season. Otherwise doibg outside workouts. No need for gum fees and other peoples sweat.

[blessed1]

buy a barbell and dumbells or just dumbells and you can do it only at home.
i sometimes go to gym and sometimes i do it in home...

[Cam700]

I tend to workout through sport, but if I'm doing just a gym type session I'll do it home

I workout at home. Gyms are a waste of time. Makes certain exercises harder to do (no squat rack, for example), but a little brain power makes up for that.

[thefallen1]

[Keyspirits]
