Hey /fit/, is a gym membership worth it? I have a coupon for $10 a month with a family plan, but could I get the same result doing push-ups at home/jogging?

start off doing pushups and jogging and whatever. if you get bored of that or aren't happy with your results after a few months, go to the gym.

i find that i'm more inclined to workout if i have to leave the house. if i'm at home i just say 'eh, i can work out later' and probably mean it...but later never comes...where as, if I get up and go to the gym, i have to work out.

That's my problem, too. It's not that I'm unmotivated, it's more like I need someone to force me to do something or I won't do it. I nearly stayed back in High School until I got a girlfriend and she forced me to do the work.

For me working out is just another habit like brushing your teeth, you just do it automatically without thinking do I want to or not.

I bought a chin-dip station on the cheap and for several months did nothing but bodyweight exercises and HIIT at home. It was great! I lost 20+ lbs, got in great shape, felt better, looked better.

Then I decided I wanted to get bigger, faster. What can I say... I have a vain streak like many people on this board. Buying weight room equipment would have been far too expensive and space-consuming. So I joined a gym and love it. When I get older and cardio health becomes more critically important than somatic strength, I'll go back to my home routine.

Sounds like a plan. $10 a month isn't bad, either.
