When I first bought my house a few yrs back I thought I'd save a few $ by converting part of the spacious ranch-style basement I have into a home-gym. Initial investment ~$1,000.

Well, 6 months later I was dying to just hang-out at a gym. Maybe i'm a show-off, maybe I'm super competetive, I don't know but I just had a tough time getting pumped up...alone. I grew up in the gym (my dad was a personal trainer most of his adult life.)

My point: don't invest too much until you are sure you can work out at home.

Maybe Scot's right...it could be a locker room thing. I feel like I'm getting something for free when I shower at the gym.

Sounds good if you can last on that thing.


Theres nothing more boring to me than working out at home. I can watch TV, go online, do so many other things I don't stay focused. I don't know anyone who uses their home gyms consistently.

I pay 19/month and I have been going for 3 years, going about 4 times a week, seeing the hot girls workin out, seeing your friends get fatter/buffer than you keeps me motivated.

Speaking of hairy nut sak, there is always this dude there in the locker room wearing a freakin thong!

Very nice.

I'm a fan of free weights, but it's better to use a cable machine in your garage 4-5 times a week than free weights at the gym once a week.

At the gym where I go there are the old guys with the hairy grey nutsacks walking around but many of them are always using the hair dryers to dry out the package. Dude, nobody wants a waft of hot nutsack air...............

You know the other thing that happened at this club (and it is a high end club in a good suburb) was with camera phones. They had to ban them because a couple people were caught snapping pictures of people in locker rooms, and would'nt you know it, it is in the guys locker room. Apparently, a few guys actually want pictures of naked 60 year olds and their grey hairy nutsacks.
