Why Working Out at Home Is Better Than the Gym

Don’t get us wrong; working out, wherever you do it — at the gym, outside, inside — is a good thing.

But admit — it’s no fun waiting in line for weights, or running on a treadmill that was definitely not wiped down by the previous runner (ew).

So, here are 9 reasons why your home gym is where it’s at!

9 Reasons Why Workouts at Home Are the Best

1. You Never Have to Face the Cold

All warm and cozy in your house? Good thing your gym is 10 feet in front of you.

2. Gym Schedules Don’t Dictate Your Routine

Gym closed because of a snowstorm? Shaun T is still waiting for you in your living room, shouting, “Let’s GOOOO!”

Whether you’re doing INSANITY, Shaun Week, or FOCUS: T25, you won’t have to miss a chance to “Dig Deeper.”

3. You Don’t Have to Care How You Look

Rocking polka dot leggings with a striped sports bra? Haven’t brushed your hair? Does it matter? Nope.

(It doesn’t matter what you wear for your workouts at home, but you know you look good in some cute athleisure.)

4. The Germs Are Your Own

With flu season in full swing, it’s an absolute blessing that you don’t have to worry whether the super-sweaty guy in the bro tank wiped down the treadmill.

Instead, when you do your workouts at home, you get to swim in your own sweat and clean up to your heart’s content when you’re done.

5. Results and Recovery Are as Far Away as the Kitchen

There’s nothing worse than when you’ve just finished an intense workout and have to wait an hour or more to down your favorite post-workout fuel.

Lucky for you, your Recover shake is a just a hop, step, and skip away. The most difficult thing you’ll have to do now is choose between chocolate and orange.

6. Make Any Weird Grunts or Faces You Want

Worried about those noises you make when you’re pushing yourself to the limit? Don’t sweat it!

Go ahead, let out a triumphant yell every time you finish a superset when you’re working out at home. You know that the Beast Sagi Kalev doesn’t hold back, so why should you?

7. You Can Literally Roll Out of Bed and Push Play

There’s no better feeling than rolling out of bed and starting your workout 5 minutes after your Energize has kicked in.

8. Your Personal Trainer Becomes Your New Best Friend

Whenever Tony Horton tells you to “bring it,” Shaun T tells you to “dig deeper,” or Sagi Kalev tells you to “beast UP!” you most certainly do.

BODi Super Trainers always say the right things to get you to push harder.

How can you tell Autumn Calabrese “no” when she reminds you that “you can do anything for 60 seconds!”?

9. When You’re Done, You Can Sprawl Out On the Floor and Catch Your Breath

Whether you spend 25 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour working out at home, when it’s over, you get to sprawl out in all your glory, no need to worry about whether or not the floor is gross or who might step on you.
