Tell me something good about home gyms

My fate for now is my home gym. I'm trying to be positive about it.
1. can do more glute exercises shamelessly
2. no need to look human (combing one's hair, etc)
3. can go "UGH" when I pull the string on the rower or with squats as I approach rhabdo/death
4. no more being polite and limiting time on the machines to 5 minutes

More? Tell me moar. I want to embrace my new identity as a dungeon lifter.

No dealing with other people. So no smells, noises, weirdos, etc.

You can control the temperature, the music, the noise. It’s at your home so you can squeeze in even a short workout since you don’t have to commute. You can hog the equipment.

Would never trade home gym crew

dont have to feel like a cuk in between sets staring at people who dgaf

major down side to my home gym, for me, is the lack of access to equipment. I have a rack, bench, barbell, pull up bar, etc, all the basics, but you ll never out equipment a public gym. Also, people in the gym irritate me, and it pisses me off, and i tend to work out a bit harder in public than in my garage.

- saves gasoline and wear & tear on your vehicle
- saves travel time
- easier to stay committed when you see the equipment every day and know you should be using it
- don't have to wipe down the equipment if you're comfortable with your own bacteria levels
- people think you're rich when you tell them you have a home gym
- don't have to pretend you like anyone by smiling or talking
- don't have to ask if you can "work in" on the equipment

True. Sometimes the gym music is so bad. They start up with those fukkin maroon 5 idiots or this weird new music that sounds like a small animal dying. For me the commute is huge since i'm very rural.

True. I once waited over two hours for a squat rack when I went to a poverty gym. At my fancy gym there are usually free racks, or else dudes get off them when I start loitering because they want to be nice.

oh big time. When I think of the loss of equipment, I realize that whatever satisfaction i get from seeing my machines is cope. But I'm trying to love it.

I have to stay away from folks because horny football players gave me a bad rep. Now the gym staff think I'm a sex addict. Can't shake the rep even after a decade of no sex.

No other people.
I guess I'm such an autist that the people seem less important than the swimming pool, track and bb court. and squash court and bike trails. *sob* i miss Jim. I guess the ningens are somewhat of a factor. I never talk to chad, yet, he somehow still manages to give me compliments. I don't know how the fukk he does it. I leave a public gym feeling good about myself because of it. Wizardry I guess.

reps on spread. These are some good words. I save hundreds (literally hundreds) per month by not traveling to the gym. I love seeing my gym. I said fukk it I don't really need a living room, and there it is. Biggest room, all gym. Now I'm going to colonize the hallway, porch and maybe the kitchen.
TIME is a big one. The most valuable resource. I have much more time now. Also the pupper isn't totally freaked out.
Sadly there is little risk of anyone mistaking me for a rich lady, lol.

i can see how this would be a problem for you. Try protein, you might be able to bulk up a little. As for me, my problem isn't the big bad men, but rather the police that usually get called when I enter the gym (for the protection of the 20-something effete males like you). Like I said, I have a bad rep. I'm seen as a danger to lil gents like you.
So not having to make an effort to look like a non-threat is actually one of the benefits. I HATE when the gym staff come out of their offices to stare at me for five or ten minutes straight to make sure I'm not misbehaving. I just stare right back but it's annoying af. And then they call the cops. Happened at least a dozen times. But the cops never say chit to me because I make a point of not saying a word to anyone. Ever. Unless some prick comes up to me and talks to me. Then I'll keep it brief so the staff doesn't get their balls in a twist.

I have home gym equipment but I like the extra weight and variety of machines and dumbbells at the gym. Plus if there are hot guys to look at, then it's a bonus. Unfortunately most of the hot guys left my gym with the pandemic and we are left with broccoli-haired skinny Zoomers.

You control the equipment that is in your gym. If you want specialized equipment, then you can get it.

Even in my fanciest gym they don't have a seated ham curl machine. I can get one for about 400$. Also, I'll never have to hunt around for the plates I want. am I coping? All this is true. It feels a little like I"m coping, but I want to be satisfied. Some folks swear by home gyms.

Yeah, great quality used commercial gym equipment is out there. Go ahead and buy it and have it delivered. You'll love it.

ah i just came. I spent yesterday shopping for bumper plates. Found some quality isht. AND a STAIRMILL HNNNNNNNNGG. Damn. I need 3k for that. when i first looked they were all 10k. Anyway, it does seem that one can build a quality home gym that can rival some commercial gyms.

I do love my gym fashion. You are right about me being a few leagues beyond what you could handle, but no need to show such weakness. Tbh it makes you sound pathetic.

Screaming is more acceptable if you care about that. Can split your workout throughout the day if all you have is 15 mins morning and night. Play whatever music you want as loud as you want. Coffee maker right there. No yoga pants distractions. Last one could be a PRO or a CON, maybe both
