One of the reasons I pay for a annually gym membership is because it’s located in an area with a/c.
- I’m a cardio boy, so I stick to mostly running, biking, and the elliptical.
When people realize this about me, they question why I pay for a annually gym membership when I could technically do those activities outside or in our own home. I consistently supply them the same response by mentioning the a/c. I don’t like basing our exercise off of the weather because it’s consistently inconsistent and unreliable. If there is a heat wave, I don’t want to run outside. If it’s raining, I don’t want to bike outside. My exercise is much more consistent when I have a gym membership with unit indoors. Occasionally, people will ask me whether or not I’ve considered purchasing our own treadmill or bike, but I have and it doesn’t toil for me either. Although I’m in our own house with temperature control, I can’t separate apartment from exercise and I found that I rarely worked out when I knew I could be doing other things. I need the physical act of leaving our house and putting myself at a gym where there’s nothing else to do. As soon as I walk into the gym and guess the cool air, our body knows that it’s time to workout. I don’t get that same reaction when I’m at our own house. THis is why I continue to pay for a gym membership despite only doing cardio.
