Gyms Or Home?

I am social as hell. But the gym was never a place for me to make friends. I never liked small talk and fake laughs.

I've met some of my best friends through the gym. Guys at my gym have done road trips to MMA events together, go carting, stuff like that...nothing fake about it: genuinely nice bunch of people for the most part.

Ok, THIS I totally understand. I am very social too (can you all tell). But once the headphones go on I zone out completely! Once I'm done, I go sit at one of the chairs and pretend to be working on my log book and that's where most of my good people watching time comes in.

Here's the deal with cardio with friend: They do NOT understand HIIT. Really busting you ass during a good sweatfest is not a good time to make friends. It's ugly. My one GF always tries to talk to me when I am in a high intrival and I have my music turned up. I don't use the "talk test" to ensure I'm not over doing it. LOL!

Hey Curvy- Your gym sounds more like a recreation center! LOL! Yes, I do love all the options I have at 24 Hour Fitness. I know what you mean when you say get your $$ worth. Even tho I don't get cut too deep with membership fees...but still.

Same here Saladfork...taking a dip in the pool is a nice change. I am glad its all under one roof. How long do you swim for?

Unfortunately, forced due to schedule and finances to work out a home since moving to FL, but in NH, for 5 yrs I was at gym every day 2 hours a day and noticed a better overall feeling, like we are all doing this together, same goal, team work...at home, no one to motivate me or spot me...but I am pretty disciplined but all in all I was in better physical shape at gym.

This site will help you! Well, maybe not this EXACT forum but there are lots of great resources here.

best Idea yet, ride a bike to the gym and back for cardio.

Haha...sorry, thought I filled in the gender part of my profile. Weird. I would hope so, with pink gloves.

That would be nice to ride a bike to 24 Hr instead of driving, but, I live in Los Angeles, and it seems to take 10 minutes to get anywhere in Los Angeles by car. Do you live in a busy city as well?
