Why You Might Want to Switch to a Home Gym Before This is All Over

A little secret the fitness industry doesn’t want you to know

You walk into the gym, empty and barren. A wasteland strewn with dumbbells, barbells and machines, a fine coating of dust covering the surfaces of all of them.

You’ve waited so very, very long for this moment. Months and months of bodyweight movements. You’ve had dreams about the gym, and nightmares of another set of pullups or pushups. You swallow, your eyes watering slightly, surprised at your own emotion, reunited once more with your homeland.

We’re gym addicted, you see. I am. Or was.

Or maybe still am, I don’t know. It’s been three months, for me.

We need it. We crave it.

Now we’re going through withdrawal.

How much do you really need a commercial gym, though?

I’ve been an online personal trainer for a while now, and I’m going to let you in on a not-so-little secret (that’s not clickbait, because you already clicked!) that the fitness industry doesn’t want you to know.

What machines your gym has is irrelevant to your progress, success or results.
