Would it be better for me to get gym membership or a home gym like a Bowflex for Cross country?

Answer 1

I had the bowflex and I personally didn't like it. It took too long to switch the weights depending on the different exercises. You also had to group similar exercises together to mnimize changing the equipment around.
I'd rather go to the gym. They have the lastest equipment, weights, cardio equipment, tv's to watch while you run, not to forget all the hot girls to watch working out.

Answer 2

I would go with the gym membership. There's the motivating factor at the gym of everybody working out, plus there's the variety of the gym. You have weight machines, free weights, cardio machines, cardio classes, spinning, body sculpting, yoga, Tai chi, personal training, boot camp, working out with a partner, racquetball, basketball, other sports, and so forth. You can try everything until you find what works for you.

With Bowflex, you are stuck with it rather you like it or not.

Answer 3

a gym membership makes you want to work out because you are paying every month for it. it motivates you to actually follow through. a home gym would be in my opinion a waist of money because when you are home all you want to do is relax after a hard days work. if i had a home gym it would never get used

Answer 4

bowflex = resistance training (lean muscle) good for xc

gym membership = bulky muscles you dont want for xc

Answer 5

bowflex! tahts what my trainer recommends and he was a world champ....too much time wasted at the gym..plus distaractions

Answer 6

Well a home gym would be much more convenient...Heyy you could even excersise in your PJ's hah. I wouldn't imagine that happening in the gym

Answer 7

gym membership...its money you wont want to waste, plus people will be watching you which is motivation...but take your bike to the center, why use a car?
