I’m over the gym.  I did 22 of 24 sessions with my trainer and then he left the gym.  I haven’t been since September, and have been paying for it twice a month, so just wasting money that I don’t really have.  I really enjoyed my time working out with my trainer and I learned a lot, but we didn’t get to the final “here’s what you do without a trainer” sessions and I haven’t wanted to go back.

I’ve been seriously debating cancelling my membership for the past month.  I did really enjoy going, but only because there was someone there waiting for me, who had a workout plan ready to go.  I can’t see myself going there and using the machines by myself when all I really want to do is Yoga.  It also seems a little ridiculous to pay for a gym membership just for a few Yoga classes a week.

In the past three years I have had three gym memberships to two different gyms.  I’ve probably gone a total of 40 times.  Ok, I just figured out the math and that means that it has cost me $25 each time I’ve gone to the gym over the past three years.  To go to a Yoga class in my area it’s $14-$17 and to do it by myself, at home, is free.  You know what, when I first worked for myself I did Yoga every day, after I finished my morning submissions.  It took the stress out of the rest of my day and I felt great afterwards.

What do you think?  Do you have a gym membership or do you prefer to work out at home?
