Do you need to join a gym for best results? You hear it all the time from people and magazines and such (that to get the best results you should join a gym!) some of the advantages to going to a gym are: 1) There's more variety of equipment. 2) there's people there with the same or similar goals as you. 3) It's a social thing, you get to meet new people and make friends. 4) If you sign up for a membership then your more likley to keep it up,or you'll have wasted your money. I'm sure there's even more reasons than the few i've written here, but even with all that i personally would'nt step foot in a gym! Why? Well because: 1) when you want to use the variety of equipment they other chances are someone else is using it,and you'll have to wait! 2) your i hour workout turns into a two hour workout or more from all the waiting around you have to do! 3)it's damn expensive to join a gym 4) the money you pay them every year you could build your own gym! 5) There's just no reason why you need to go to a gym. Most peices of expensive gym equipment can be replicated in your own home with your own body! Plus if you do bodyweight workouts you can do them anywhere anytime. So if you have to go away on holiday or for work reasons you don't have to change your workout around or go looking for the local gym,you've bought the gym with you "your own body!" And yes Bodyweight Training can make you big and strong,don't let anybody tell you different! All these gyms and muscle mags sucker you in to the idea that the gym is the place to be if you want to get results. But to be honest, in my opinion it's all a load of rubbish! If you have the motivation you can acheive tremendous results at home with nothing more than your own body for equipment. Thats the truth.
