HEALTH CLUBS VS. HOME GYMS

Pros of Health Club:

1.) Healthy, strong, agile, good looking people at the gym provides tangible motivation for our minds.

2.) Health clubs provide a wide variety of fitness equipment to use and it is near impossible for most of us to outfit our homes with the quantity and quality of exercise equipment that the gym offers.

Cons of Health Clubs

1.) Time Is of the Essence and it takes too much time out of our day to go sit in traffic and go to gym. The physical act of getting to the gym is an obstacle in and of itself.

2.) Cleanliness – If somebody at your gym is sick, watch out, before you know it, you, your family and friends will all be sick! (worst case scenario) – either way, fitness equipment centers, health clubs, gyms, they are all laced with germs.

3.) High Costs – These days it is very expensive to join a fitness club. I have two friends who pay up to $600 a month in gym fees! Even if you are only paying 30$ per month, it adds up over time.

4.) Having to Wait to Use Exercise Machines – It is very frustrating to arrive at a health club after getting through an obstacle course of traffic to get there and then you have to wait to use the fitness machines you want. For example, I have gone to my gym Elios on Wilshire Blvd., in the heart of Los Angeles, many times, and have lost my edge waiting for others to get off the machines. Losing momentum and adrenaline can result in failed workouts and frustration. Such will not be the case at your home. Not being able to use the stair stepper you want or rowing machine, treadmill, multi-station strength piece, or whatever your personal favorite piece of gym equipment or pieces of gym equipment may be, destroys our aggressive mood sometimes and we end up not working out at all!
