Do you think a gym membership is a waste of money?

[DaveJord]

It depends on what you can afford, and how you manage your finances really. But if you have a house with the space, not term its cheaper to buy your own treed mill and bench set. I only have paid for gym if it has a lap pool for swimming.

[SenileOldMan]

Seems like a pretty good investment to me if you go regularly unless you have a serious enough home gym to do all sorts of motions with fractional plates and so forth.

[FreyaRed]

No. Most gyms have very interesting courses for socializing with other people, like pilates or aerobic. It's not just lifting and walking around like a peacock what some guys do. However it depends on your time and motivation.

[Sasha_Gee]

It depends on how often you go, really. If you don't think you'll be going regularly, I would say that it's a waste of money.

[Citizenkirk]

I can exercise anywhere but since I paid my own utilities the gym membership more than pays for itself in air conditioning and hot water from showers

[Sonorous]

Only if you don't go or don't utilize it sufficiently.

[jamesgoldman]

£30 a month absolutely, I spent less on my current home gym

Okay of I had to buy it new I could replace it in a year of membership fees

[Prettygurl12]

For me? Yes. I won't go lol

But if you actually go... then it's worth it.

[TheUniqueOne96]

If it's enough to motivate you to go, then no.

You can also save on the water if you shower there, to take full advantage.

[Anonymous]

Depends on if you use it or not. If you use it, then it's not a waste. If you don't, then it is. Entirely depends on you.

I have belonged to various gyms my whole life. I have improved my health and met some friends. It is only a waste of money if you don't use it.

[moonpie89]

I think it's useful if you're going to actually go and workout

[EnglishEuropean]

It would be for me because I'd never go. I'd sooner work out at home where I can't embarrass myself.

[Anonymous]

Depends, if you have a friend to go with, then yes; if not, then no.

[TsAubreyKate]

Yes because they won’t let you push yourself beyond their rules

[VikingWarLord]

I'd say yes but it's hard to replace the Dead-Lift

[Northernlights25]

If you waste your time while in the gym yes.

[Jamie05rhs]

Only if you don't use it.

[Wise4myage]

Yes, I definitely think so.

[Iron_Man]

No it’s a good idea

[jahaims]

Depends

[steveRogers12]

If you go to the gym it isn't

[Jmmmfi4]

Definitely not

[lycanthrope3]

if you do not use it
