I have worked out at home and at a gym. In my younger days, the gym was my choice. At the time, I worked as a trainer and a fitness instructor, so my monthly dues were free. I was on my own, so it was convenient. Today, I'm in my 40's and I have children. I tried the gym life with my children, but it just did not work out. My boy's hated to go in the evenings and I felt so guilty putting them in a gym sitting service after spending all day in a daycare while I was working. So, naturally, I stopped going to the gym. It was a huge issue for me and I felt terrible about myself and so overwhelmed. I gained 20 pounds and knew I had to do something. So, I purchased a few at home workouts that am still doing almost 4 years later. I run 3 days a week, in addition to strength training 2 to 3 days a week while using my home gym. This was about a $500 investment, but well worth the money So, I would have to say that I love to work out at home. It just fits my lifestyle right now and it's really nice to just walk to a room to workout or just go outside and run around my neighborhood.
