Yeah. Subjective indeed. This paragraph might have been better placed up front. The gym doesn't work for you, that's great. However, I take issue with the rather hyperbolic statement about two grand "down the drain." Given my own 47 years as a dedicated gym rat (my annual membership wast $12 for nearly four decades; now it's $120, so kindly), your piece doesn't take into account the expensive and specialized equipment most home gyms, and I have one of those too, can't house or afford. For injury recovery, those are critical. I don't argue your points. But I would, and this is just me, refrain from dictating to Dear Reader what they should or shouldn't do solely on my personal experience. Glad it worked for you. We can only, always and forever, only speak for ourselves.
