Hot take, most people waste money on a gym membership

That a euphemism, bro?

I appreciate you summoning the courage to post this raging hot take.

My strategy: give yourself every reasonable advantage in meeting or exceeding your goals and achieving positive outcomes.

With this in mind, don't sweat which is better - a gym membership or setting up some stuff at home. Do both! It's not so hard and having choices and options makes it more likely to get the workouts in.

Don't overthink it. All that crap is just the means, not the end. Grow a pair, get yourself set-up, and then put your energy into doing the stuff that will make you what you want to be.

Common knowledge, actually.

A gym membership is just like any other subscription. If you don't use it, then it is a waste of money. Since I am getting older and can only run 12-15 mpw, I like going to the gym to get in a variety of workouts for cardio or strength. I also enjoy the pool and hot tub to relax. The number of attractive, fit women there on a given day is worth the price of admission.

I get all my workouts in bed. No need for a gym membership.

“compliments from dudes at the beach on my physique” …. Hahaha …. Never heard something so ridiculous.

that hot take is BURNING hot. And here’s another scorcher - people waste money on lattes at Starbucks

When you're ready to give up working out alone, you might want to try a gym.

Lol

At 68, Silver Sneakers pays for my gym membership. So free gym time.
Guess they figure better to pay my membership fee and have healthy person than unhealthy and more medical costs.

We go couple of times a week, spin class and weight work.

The majority of people do not have a gym membership at all, so it can't possibly be true that "most people waste money on a gym membership."

I've been to a gym once. Frightening experience. It was a council run facility where you pay £3 for entry. All the weights were permanently in use by the local thugs. The kind of people who failed their GCSEs and were assumed dead if not in prison. The absolute detritus of society. That left a couple of treadmills and some rowing machines; both of which are useless. There is a guy on my strava feed who can't run a lick under 19:30 but miraculously runs 18:00 everytime on the treadmill. I would never step foot in such a place ever again. If I ever DID go to a gym I would have to fork out for an expensive facility to filter out the rough types. However I would rather stick to running.

You get compliments from other dudes on the beach?

someone's cruising for d1ck, for sure

Hot Take: Saunas and Steam Rooms and Pools are awesome for a variety of reasons and I don't own them.

Can’t wait for January to be over and the resolutionists gone from crowding up the gym. Happens every year.
