5 Little Clues to Quitting the Gym Forever.
Gyms are all the same. Sure, you could be trudging your way to one right now, or perhaps you lost some weight in one earlier, but I’m telling you, there are loads of good reasons to quit going and exercise in a different way.
And hey, if you’re in love with the gym as-is, then you’ve got nothing to worry about. But if you’re thinking of a change, peruse these 5 reasons and make a new choice.
#5: Gym Prices Tend to Be Rather Obscene.
Face it – the gym is expensive. If you are living in a big city, memberships can run upwards of $100/month, and there are no compensation if you don’t happen to go for a few weeks. Unless you’re lucky and have access to a student gym on the cheap, paying full membership price will seriously hurt your wallet. Gyms like making money.
#4: The Kind of People Who Seriously Frequent Gyms? Nuts.
You start to see the same people over and over at the gym, and they get into specific routines. These routines can become more and more absurd, because these people know they’re being watched in close quarters. That is why you have to deal with the spectacle of Mr. thickest-neck-ever coming in and grunting his way through 30 unnecessarily heavy repetitions in front of you. Nowhere else in the world do you have to put up with stuff like that.
#3: You Think People Wipe Down, But They Don’t.
Yeah, the signs are all over the place and you want to hope that everyone in the gym is a nice, caring person who really will help you out by not leaving their sweat all over the machine, but the ugly truth is that most people simply don’t wipe down the machines if they can get away with it.
#2: Doing the Same Crap Every Day Will Drive You Insane.
A good thing about the initial gym experience is that you can build up a routine: you go in, do the exercises you need to do, and then leave. But after a few months, unless you’ve become addicted to the effects of your workout, you will realize that staring at that same TV over and over, no matter what’s on – well, it is boring. And after a while, boring becomes annoying.
#1: You are Completely Free Outside.
So you made it – you finally pulled yourself free from the glorified indentured servitude also known as ‘working out in a gym’. Once the initial high of extreme happiness wears off, you’ll be faced with an unfamiliar emotion – freedom. Run anywhere you want. Do whatever exercises you feel like, in your own house, out in a park, or in the damn street, if you want. But don’t go back to paying $100+ every few weeks for the privilege of sweating very close to a bunch of other people. It’s just not worth it.
