Why stay home to exercise now that gyms are open again?

Gyms have been open again for a while now, and this was desperately needed. Many members canceled their memberships because they couldn't use them. Despite the gyms being closed, the real diehards (like you) have started working out at home. Products like dumbbells , weight benches, and ab boards are especially popular. Some have already invested heavily in their own home gyms. In this blog post, we'll discuss the reasons why people prefer to continue working out at home despite the gyms reopening.

Your own gym

There are many advantages to having your own home gym. While gyms often have plenty of equipment available, it's not uncommon for a weight bench to be unavailable during peak hours.

Besides the availability of equipment, there's another important reason why people choose to exercise at home. In recent times, we've been working and studying from home more often. The advice was to avoid contact as much as possible, and we did. However, this also meant we didn't really have much variety. By exercising at home, you can create that variety yourself. Before you start work, you can exercise for an hour. Finished? Then you can work out for a while and not think about work or your classmate who still hasn't finished their homework.

Exercising at home also has financial benefits. Buying equipment certainly costs some money, but have you ever compared that to the cost of a gym membership? Prices vary by gym, but when you look at the bigger picture (especially if you bring someone along to work out with you), the price is actually quite reasonable compared to the total cost of a home gym. Remember, you can make it as expensive or as cheap as you like. Either way, you'll recoup the investment within about two years. It's up to you whether you're willing to make that investment or whether you'd rather opt for the gym.

Gym vs. Home

For some, the gym can be a good motivator to work out because you pay for your membership. For this reason, the urge to go to the gym is also greater. But crisis aside, sometimes you don't feel like driving or cycling to the gym (it's okay to admit, we've all been there). This is more likely to happen than you'd like to admit. Working out at home doesn't have this problem because it's simply at home. Here, you can start and stop whenever you want. The barrier to exercise is much lower, and you don't have to worry about other gym goers staring at you. This is also a fairly common phenomenon that makes the gym more accessible than it should be. After all, we're all there for the same goal: to get fitter.

What choice will you make?

There are many benefits to exercising at home. This doesn't mean you should exercise at home or that it's a better alternative than the gym. Both working out at home and the gym have their own advantages and disadvantages. You don't have to go to the gym, as there are plenty of alternatives and exercises you can do at home. If you would benefit more from the guidance of a fitness coach, then the gym is the most suitable option. It depends on what you consider the best option and what suits you best. The most important thing is to stay healthy and keep moving, whether at home or at the gym.
