Sacking the gym off!

TheWanderer · 11th March 2012, 05:19 PM

Bit of a struggle getting to the gym the 3 times minimum i need to start to shift some fat, so cleared the garage out and now have the space to buy This, works out a little over what i'm paying for the gym per month if i take it on finance.

Already have some dumbbells and an EZ bar, cant think of anything else i need.

May try and grab a cheap rower from ebay to do some HIIT rowing on, on none weight days.

Anyone used Powerhouse Fitness? Any good?

Keep the gym membership. I made a similar decision a few years back and never used the gear I bought. Back in the gym now.

Get a vibration machine thing that the celebrities have, then stand on it and watch tv, win win.

As has been said, just keep the gym membership. Too easy to ignore stuff at home.

I bought all the equipment and work out in the garage, much better than going to the gym, people saying " leep your membership, it's too easy to ignore at home ", i understand, but if anyone has that mentality then they shouldn't really have a gym membership, gotta be motivated to work out, where it it will be.

As for the OP, surely you can find a multi gym a lot cheaper than that one, mine was only 200 quid.
