Do you go more for socializing (Maybe it's your main getaway) or are you just a gym rat?
 
never, but I run for my exercise
 
I spend all my time there. It's like cuming night & day.

It's usually 6 days a week for me and a nice long soak in the hot tub.

My primary reason for going is to actually work on my fitness. Socializing happens at times.

Dude, you need to flip that. Swimming > treadmill.

I was easily in the best shape of my life when I was swimming three days a week. No amount of running can prepare your lungs for swimming in my experience, and you work so many muscle groups.

I do struggle much more at the swimming part so you are definitely on to something. The pool is just harder to get into for some reason then the treadmill but I will work on that.

Running can be so hard on your knees. Swimming is almost zero impact.

Also, it tones muscle while working cardio. There's a reason why swimmers are always so ripped.

Any exercise is good exercise. With that said, I enjoy swimming a couple days of week. But I can see how some people enjoy running more than swimming.

Sure it can be more enjoyable. You can run anywhere. You can put on music and just run around a track.

But my knees are too crappy to run anymore, and swimming kicks my ass.
 
AT MY GYM THERE'S A SIGN IN THE SHOWERS ABOUT NOT JERKING OFF.
 
3-4 days a week, and thats fucking disgusting El Pres. lol
 
4 days a week. I'm probably the strongest motherfucker you know.
 
We have a gym at work, I try to go 4 days a week (on Thursday I have an after work committment), although sometimes, like yesterday, I have to work late and don't.

I can't swim, alas, and don't have access to a pool. Terrible knees. (I'm old, dudes.) I do 6 laps (1.5 miles) on treadmill at 4 mph and 5% upgrade. The I do light weight training, has to be light due to repeat injuries. Then core, using that large beach ball. You guys know that? Lie down with beach ball between ankles and do leg lfits, believe me you feel it. Then drape over it and do situps.

Some day I'm going to have abs, if I don't die first!
 
I only go once a week. I started doing work outs at home because you can get just as good a workout at home and its so much more convienent than going to a packed gym after work. Also, I don't feel like working out right after work.

I just go on the weekends to use equipment that's hard to duplicate at home, like lat and back work.

Pet Peeve at the gym, why do people lay their water bottles on stuff and walk off? It's ok if they are going to get a drink or get a towel, but I've seen people trying to reserve equipment for like 5+ minutes.

Ya I have noticed that also. I have also seen people leave a big puddle of sweat on the benches to reserve them.
 
Depends what you want. Pull ups and home workouts are fine if you just wanna lose weight and such. If you actually want to get big muscles and not have the body of a 13 year old girl then the gym is a must.
