Even just the full set of free weights at a gym is the price of an annual membership (more than some discount gyms), let alone the expensive machines.
I think it was like 150 dollars a month for a membership here which is what made me go hell no!
That’s not a gym, it’s a full on spa
Nah. Just silly short sighted thinking.
Are you only going to exercise for a year or two? Yes? OK, well THEN you might have a point about gyms being cheaper...
but even a full set of weights and some minimal equipment is maaaaybe 5 years of gym memberships, for the cheap gyms.
Are you going to work out for less than five years of your life? If you answer "no", even financing some weights might be worth considering.
Sure, if “financing” didn’t involve interest
Sometimes there are no easy answers and you have to do something more than complain. Is it a perfect, convenient solution? No. Do you need a perfect solution before you fix anything?
