First off I have no clothes you’d ever wear to a gym. I wear jeans and a t shirt pretty much daily (think Hank Hill). Second, I don’t get what you do there. I hated gym time in school (workout gym, not like throwing balls and running around gym, thats fun) and I don’t get what you do. Run on a treadmill and lift some weights? I feel like I could do all of that at home. Gym memberships are insanely expensive. Are home workouts actually effective? Does one even enjoy gym time?

    As someone else that doesn’t go to a gym, it is a combination of: they enjoy working out or do so for another reason, they don’t have the space for gym equipment at home, they can’t afford to buy and maintain the gym equipment they want to use, the gym they attend offers classes or personal training guidance, they enjoy the atmosphere and encouragement of working out with other like-minded individuals.

    It isn’t something magical, it may just not be for you.

      Agreed. Excercise is good but never limit yourself to just one. Try out new things that excite you, that will work better for your health.
