Do you enjoy working out at the gym when it's peak time or when you're almost by yourself?

I know some people enjoy the loudness of a full packed gym. It increases their adrenaline. Others like it coz it's a chance to show their bodies in the mirror or their weight lifting progress. And I've known a few who just like to "watch and judge" 😒
I personally like it in the slower times, sometimes just two or three people. Especially when I haven't been working out for a while and just coming back and you're like crawling off after a few bodyweight exercises 🤭🤭🤭 or it takes a lot longer to finish sets on the machines 😅

I work out at home. Don't like waiting on anyone or needing to have a schedule

@Mudkip Good for you! 😌 Unfortunately, while it would be much more convenient, I just can't keep the commitment to workout at home 😅 too many temptations and distractions

@KittyKat121 for me it's the other way around lol. All the people there, unnecessary things, just doesn't add up for me. So after my run I work out at home. I have the freedom to do whatever I want 😤💪

@Mudkip hmmm if it makes any sense, when I workout at the gym, there's this sense of urgency to finish each set with little or no delays (unless I like partially die in the middle from being away on a long lazy break 🤭)
If I workout at home, I have the freedom as well....... To take eternity breaks between exercises, eventually having to shorten the routine due to lack of time 😂😂
Sigh..... ultimately, it's all about the discipline 😌

@KittyKat121 yes, it makes sense. You're on a set schedule, a certain time to finish your workout. I just didn't like having to wait on people or having to wipe off people's sweat. That was so annoying I swear.

Ngl I sometimes put my phone down and walk to stop the distractions 😂 But most of the times if I use it it's to change music or see if I have any texts I was waiting for.
