5 Ways to Quit Your Overpriced Gym Right Now.
Saturday, January 9th, 2010Most 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.
If you love the gym, this isn’t going to convince you of much, but if you are a bit sick of it, read these 5 reasons and then toss your membership.
#5: Gym Prices Tend to Be Rather Obscene.
Gyms are unbelievably expensive for what they offer. Is there anywhere else in the world where you go maybe 2, 3 times a week, do all the work yourself, and pay extremely steep fees for the privilege? Hey, if you’ve got a great gym and can afford it, more power to you. But there are just too many out there that are complete rip-offs.
#4: People in Gyms Can Go Insane.
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: The Sweat of Others is Not Pleasant.
Sure, the paper towels (or dirty towels brought from home) and the little spray bottles are there, but really loads of people just don’t bother to wipe down the machines they’ve been using before. You can block it out of your mind, but that only works until you sit down on a machine that is dripping with sweat and realize it is definitely not your own.
#2: Doing the Same Crap Every Day Will Drive You Insane.
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.
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.
