I started with a home gym, then I outgrew it and got a gym membership. I really miss having a home gym. It was so much more convenient. You don't have to work in with anyone (if you can even get them to do that). You don't have to wait for fatties or cell phone addicts, it's just all around better. I don't have the space anymore though. I'm in a much smaller place than I was when I had one at home.
