I've always hated the gym. The whole concept is anathema to me. I LOVE exrcise though so I'll try to do it in other ways. Walk places instead of drive. Run instead of walk. Bike. Do martial arts (learning a skill!).

I'll do anything except work out in a sweat box.

Bro, I'm the opposite to you. I cannot adhere to exercise that's done outside in an uncontrolled environment. I feel like a neanderthal. I also can't exercise if I'm not logging it, so it might not be an indoors vs outdoors thing.

Maybe it's the weather where I live. I also prefer to drive places, or take public transport. Anything with air conditioning. Anyway, nice to meet my fitness ideology nemesis.

I cycle to the gym, which is a great warmup to lift weights, which I do not have at home.

Gyms are depressing to me. They also stink.

I suppose I'm glad I have a low sensitivity nose. I think growing up with siblings might have had some blunting effect on my olfactory senses.

I agree in general but, living in a cold climate, gyms are necessary for me in the winter if I want to get exercise. It lowers the barrier for me to get exercise since it means I don't need to try to go running in full winter gear.

Same here, I love taking the stairs instead of the lift! Highly recommend.
