Most gyms aren't worth it. Yeah, you might be a gym devotee, or you think you're happy with your current setup, but let me tell you something - there are other ways of working out you should try.
So hey, if you're already a gym fan, no worries, but if you're unsure, check out these 5 reasons why.
#5: Prices are Sickeningly High.
If you're a student and you get a cheaper student gym with your university card, consider yourself very lucky. I had one, once, and it cost me next to nothing for an awesome, bright, airy gym that I loved. Once I moved to a big city, though? Forget it - hundreds a month, and not even close to as nice.
#4: The Kind of People Who Seriously Frequent Gyms? Nuts.
People sometimes come to the gym so often that they literally lose their minds, forgetting that the gym is a venue to getting in shape, not the be all and end all of their social calendar. If your gym is full of these people, be warned - you could become one, too.
#3: Do You Enjoy Covering Yourself in Other People's Sweat?
Yeah, the signs are all over the place and you want to hope that everyone in the gym is a nice, caring person who really will help you out by not leaving their sweat all over the machine, but the ugly truth is that most people simply don't wipe down the machines if they can get away with it.
#2: No One Likes Repetition, Over and Over and Over and Over...
You might claim that your magic iPod or your series of audio books or magazine subscriptions alleviate the crushing boredom of standing in a small room and working selective muscle groups over and over, but you're only deceiving yourself. Own up to the sad and depressing fact - gyms are stunningly, shockingly boring places that breed contempt through bitter, grim repetition. Get out while you still can.
#1: Welcome to a World Without Limits.
So you made it - you finally pulled yourself free from the glorified indentured servitude also known as 'working out in a gym'. Once the initial high of extreme happiness wears off, you'll be faced with an unfamiliar emotion - freedom. Run anywhere you want. Do whatever exercises you feel like, in your own house, out in a park, or in the damn street, if you want. But don't go back to paying $100+ every few weeks for the privilege of sweating very close to a bunch of other people. It's just not worth it.
