What is more important: Time or Money?

This page is dedicated to the time comparison of a gym workout and a home workout.
Let's start.
Workout: Gym vs Home
The time consumed in a gym workout and home workout is represented by the visual below. It has also been divided into the four splits discussed earlier.

Why 8 % lesser time at home? When you are in a gym, you have a whole lot of extra machines available at your service. Pretty decent. I used them regularly. The number of equipment that I used in the gym, other than what I already had at the home are as follows:

Zoom in for a clearer view. Basically on the x-axis are the days till 32 and on y-axis, the number of extra equipment used per day.
But wait, there's a downside to them. You have to wait for them. Whenever I wanted to use a machine, I had to wait for it to be idle for my use. Other's also come to the gym, you know. And talking about coming to the gym, you have to come to the gym. That means it costs you time.
The Actual Time used for the Gym
I am a student. I don't have a car. My free-of-cost means of transport (as I pay for it every six months anyway) is the good old public transport. How long was my usual commute time? Easy answer: More or less 60 Minutes. But for the elaborated answer, let us visualize.

This is an average usage of time in the 32-day time period. For the data of each and every day, please refer to the excel sheet of data.

So this is the actual difference in the time consumed for the gym and home. At home I usually needed 57.7 % lesser time for a home workout as compared to a gym workout.
