I too prefer what exercise I get to be in terms of just getting out-side
and doing stuff, but having a gym available is not like high school gym
class. And thank god for that!
My doctor tells me I need to do some kind of weight training. To do
that, I have a choice between having to buy weights or using someone
else's weights (i.e. a gym). Do I want a bunch of equipment I'm not
going to use cluttering up my house, or do I want it cluttering up
someone's gym?
Especially since the gym has someone to assist me using the equipment
without hurting myself. Which in turn means I might actually use it
after all.
Some of us need all the positive reinforcement we can get, and that's
one of the things you're paying for at the gym. And since you ARE paying
them, they can't treat you like high school gym class.

Me, I can't stand gyms. I think it stems from traumatic experiences
as a skinny, geeky, picked on youth in high school gym class.
I'm still skinny, but I don't think I'm geeky, yet I still stay away
from gyms. I like to be out in the real world, which is why cycling
works so well for me.
Couldn't stand a stationary bike, I don't think.
Thanks to all who commented!
cheers,
frank

Meh, that's what lightweight Gore Tex jackets are for. Harden up! ;)
