How far is your commute to your gym?

21 comments

1. When I actually went I’d say 15 min max. After getting a job I stopped going simply because the job was really physically demanding. But the drive time was almost the same.

2. 15 minutes i go everyday except for Mondays.

3. 11 minutes. In your case, it sounds like you’re not close to 4x/week, so start smaller. 2x/week. If that doesn’t reach your goals, then up it by 1, then 1 again if needed.

4. 20 minute walk

5. 2 minutes, it’s on the other side if the street, thankfully

6. Why not just do full body (weights) workout 2 or 3 times a week?

7. About 60 feet into my backyard.

   If I go to the gym gym then it’s about 15 minutes

8. Have a full gym in my basement, just roll out of bed throw on some shorts and walk downstairs

9. It’s around the block from my apartment, so about a 2 minute walk.

   If it wasn’t so convenient, I’d probably not have the motivation to go as often, if I’m honest.

10. 10 minute walk. I work out in the mornings so I need to be very close by. Remove any obstacles and you have less excuses ready for when it’s time to go to the gym.

11. I work out at home

    My climbing wall is a 5 min walk

12. 15 minutes walking.

    But given the fact that either run or bike – I only go there for the swimming pool or to run on a treadmill when the weather is shit.

13. A few meters

14. Having core training equipment at home since my gym is about 10 min drive

15. When the pandemic hit and gyms shut down, I invested in a home gym. It’s been a major game changer. On days I am not feeling as motivated, I might not have found the desire to get in the car and make the trip to the gym. Now I just tell myself to bang out a few reps in the garage and always wind up getting my whole routine for the day done anyways.

    In fact it’s become so routine I no longer really have those mental battles about getting it done anymore.

16. Walk down two flights of stairs and across the hallway into my garage

17. 5 minute walk.

18. 20-25 minutes drive. usually i only get there twice a week but do 2 hour or so sessions when there. works out ok as i look forward to every visit and get plenty of time to recover between sessions

19. I drove by a gym once.

20. 20-30 minutes when traffic is clear, up to 50 minutes when traffic is bad.

    so it’s a commitment in itself. currently i can only go once a week, so traffic didn’t matter, i will go.

21. About 30s
