4. Secrets Only the Locals Can Tell You: The Conclusion

Welcome to the colorful court of The Game. Let us together find out what we found out in the findings earlier.

Let's end (the discussion).

The Information that we Understood.

• The Goal: Achieved in both cases, no complaints about any of them. Gym has more machines, more variations. I like it.

• Motivation and Eating: At the start, gym is somehow better in both cases. But in around 2.5 - 3 weeks, it is the same for both, almost exactly.

• Let's talk Money baby: You pay a whopping 32 % more for the home gym in the first year for a lot lesser equipment . . . if you go to the cheapest gym available that is severely crowded in the peak hours. And at the end of the second year, you would have already paid 19 % more at the gym than the home gym.

• TIME (not the magazine): If everything mentioned above rounds off (as it did), what would be the deciding factor? I needed 57.7 % lesser time at home on an average. That is scrutiny my love. And I show this data to my roommate or my good neighbor, and bam! I've got myself a spot, my motivation sky rockets (cheap exaggeration) and my equipment cost is divided in half (not always though).

Fitness is lifelong. Time is eternal, but not for me. I have only got 120 years to live (give or take). If I can get the same results and the same feeling, saving myself my precious years, turning those precious years into money, turning that money into precious time with my one true love; There is a clear winner* for me.

Let's start (the workout).
