I think, like you said before, once you start lifting you always go back because it's in your blood. But whether that's working out in a gym or at home, it depends on what your circumstances/motivators are. The last gym I went (about eight years ago) was a sweaty dump full of only men, many of whom were on steroids. My circumstances at the time were that I was married and a full on believer in the Mark Rippetoe cult. I would laugh at the people staring at the yoga pant bitches in their pussy gyms, spending extortionate amounts of money on gym memberships. Looking back though, going to that place was not enjoyable, but I did get a bit stronger.
After a while, and with the help of this site, I realised the Mark Rippetoe clan were just as idiotic as the people who only did bench press and bicep curls. At that point I realised the pointlessness of going the gym and never bothered after a while. It wasn't a bad feeling because I felt I was now enlightened. Instead, I worked out at home and got just as good results. I just did press ups and bicep curls and hit a punch bag and I looked probably better than when I was squatting heavy barbells in a dungeon.
Now though, after a period of inactivity and having just split up with my wife, I'm in my new apartment and I have the urge to find a gym. A yoga pants gym too. I dunno why but I guess it seems like a good place to meet women and friends. Obviously training at home is a solitary affair. That along with writing can be a lonely existence. I've never been to a poser gym so quite like the idea of it. I would never go back to a dungeon though.
What are your views on gym romances Truthseeker? I'm looking to pull a gym-hottie when I sign up lol. What are you experiences of women in gyms like? I've never been to a gym frequented by females before, but it seems like a better place to socialise than the pub or social media.
