Gyms are massively overrated. Maybe you are going to one now, or you had a great experience with one before, but let me tell you that there are plenty of reasons to give up the gym and find another way to work out.
And hey, if you're in love with the gym as-is, then you've got nothing to worry about. But if you're thinking of a change, peruse these 5 reasons and make a new choice.
#5: Gym Prices Tend to Be Rather Obscene.
Face it - the gym is expensive. If you are living in a big city, memberships can run upwards of $100/month, and there are no compensation if you don't happen to go for a few weeks. Unless you're lucky and have access to a student gym on the cheap, paying full membership price will seriously hurt your wallet. Gyms like making money.
#4: The Kind of People Who Seriously Frequent Gyms? Nuts.
You start to see the same people over and over at the gym, and they get into specific routines. These routines can become more and more absurd, because these people know they're being watched in close quarters. That is why you have to deal with the spectacle of Mr. thickest-neck-ever coming in and grunting his way through 30 unnecessarily heavy repetitions in front of you. Nowhere else in the world do you have to put up with stuff like that.
#3: The Sweat of Others is Not Pleasant.
While it should be standard practice to wipe down every single machine you use with a towel (and possibly a nice spray) before letting anyone else onto it, the fact of the matter is that not all the people at the gym are so warm and sunny. More times than I care to count I've seen people get off a machine and just leave it there, dripping, waiting for someone else to show up and clean the disgusting sweat off.
#2: Doing the Same Crap Every Day Will Drive You Insane.
No matter how may audio books you go through, magazines you bring, albums you listen to, or variations in exercise you try and do, you'll eventually be repeating yourself in a gym, where - face it - you're confined into a little room for hours, doing the same repetitive movements over and over until you can feel a difference. Life is too short.
#1: You are Completely Free Outside.
If you work out at home or outdoors, you can literally go wherever you want. You can invent new running routes every single day, stop in a different park and do body weight exercises, take a resistance band out in public and work out there is no limit when it comes to opening and closing hours, no boring repetition, and no costs.
