I find that creating my own home gym has been the greatest thing for my fitness. No need to commute to an external place to get my pump in. Being able to wake up and hit the weights right away beats any public gym simply because of the time you save. I believe you don’t even need a gym as you can just do stretches and body weight exercises at home. The difference is I can get my lifting done in 15-30 minutes max as opposed to the full hour-two hours people spend going to the gym. I can leave a barbell fully racked overnight and just wake up to hit a one rep max if I want. The only benefit I can think of going to a gym is for the hot sauna?
