Gym. Like everyone is saying start up is high for a home gym then there is the issue of space.

I have a thickbar, 33kg kettlebell 50lb and 25lbDB.

I usually deadlift and OHP at home. Everything else at the gym.

At a gym.

I don't feel the need to invest that much money on training equipment. All I have at home is a pullup bar which can be easily installed in a door frame.

It would be cool to have a home gym, but I think I can get to know more people in the gym. Not that I talk so much when I lift, I socialize with them after lifting.

as far as money goes a home gym would be much cheaper in the long run

Well, the startup cost is sooo high.

yea but lets just say it costs $2000 to get everything needed. squat rack, dumbells, bench, etc.... (thats completely an estimate but im guessing its close) i could see it being less.
a membership at my gym is $30 per month if ur there for 3 years or something like that. so really within 5-6 years it "pays for itself" and after that ur just saving money. most of us plan to workout much longer than 6 years i'm sure

I have a bench a bar, and couple dumbells at home with some weight... its all I need.

Squatting must be a pain...

And yeah, more equipment would probably be better, haha.

i prefer a gym, you always have someone to spot you if you need it, many many more things you can do at a gym too, such as machines (they have their place so shove it lol), and specialization benches ect.

be careful with the wielder (sp?) brand...the way they adjust is just bad mechanics.

I bought a set for my dad 300 bucks for last Christmas. And we ended up taking them back because not only was it a hassle to change the weight at times, it would get stuck. But it wouldnt always lock all the way and the plates would drop out...

i want to at least get some adjustable dumbells at my house but its about $300 for a good pair.

thanks for the tip. i used my neighbors bowflex ones for my christmas morning workout since they were gone. those are good..it was a pain in the ass carrying them over from house to house tho lol

You forgot both. I lift in both a gym and at home.

I want a home gym, haha.

I lift at a gym cause I don't have any equipment at home.

If I did have a power rack, bench, and weights with a mat underneath, I could do most of my routine. I'd just need a dippng station and a pullup bar, and then I'd lift at home because of convenience, privacy, and EASY access to food right when I finish.

However, my mom would hate it since she gets scared after you do anything 100+ pounds
