Well, I have my own fitness business through Team beachbody. I have programs such as P90x, Insanity, Turbofire available. I know for me I like going to the gym because I do not have enough discipline to workout at home. But sometimes I do workout from home using these programs. Do you like working out at home or do you prefer going out to a gym?

I want to be far away from my refrigerator and my bed/couch/tv. Away from temptations and besides a gym could be fun and more stimulating to go to rather than your own home. So I'd opt for the gym

If I had the money, I like to go out and workout at the gym because I can communicate and watch and workout. I like doing that, I feel bored at home doing workout. But since now I don't have enough money to do that, I stay at home open the DVD and dance along and exercise.

I've always thought that I need to go into a gym, as I also wouldn't have the discipline to workout at home. But I just couldn't find the time to go (not an excuse). So I think that if I bought some really expensive exercise equipment, the price or the process of paying it would be motivation enough for me. I still have to buy that equipment.

I prefer working out at home. I joined a gym once a couple of years ago, but it was a waste. I rarely went. I didn't want to shower there and it was so much work to have to leave my house to go. And since I didn't (and won't) drive, taking the bus just made it awkward to carry my gym clothes. Also, I wasn't comfortable working out there. I just didn't like the lack of privacy. I don't like to exercise around other people. At home, I felt much more relaxed, and I didn't feel like I was being watched or judged. I could take a break for as long as I wanted without worrying that someone else would take the machine I was using. The only advantage to the gym was the machines that worked your muscles. I miss using those.
