    It seems to me that a lot of gay guys really like going to the gym and I can't stand it. I find extremely boring and just can't get any pleasure out of it. I'm not saying I don't like exercise, I just rather get mine outside doing something that isn't so repetitive. My boyfriend is a gym rat and I've started going with him and it's almost like a dreaded chore.

    So what do you guys think of the gym?

    I like to work out, but not at the gym. I enjoy running outside, preferably on a trail. I also like the Insanity workout DVDs, which I can do at home.

    I enjoy jogging and exercising with a jump rope and hula hoop. Being in shape is good but Gyms aren't my thing.

    Though I have never even tried working out, I never loved physical activity. Even the little warmup jogs they make you do in P.E. in schools wears me out!

    I have always wanted to do gymnastics in gym class, but they just have the girls do it. Gymnastics would be the only physically demanding sport I would be good at, since I am amazingly flexible and nimble-built.

    I like going to the gym. But that's just because I love exercise in general.

    I'd definitely rather go and run outside, though.

    I enjoy it once I'm there, but when I fall out of the habit of going, forcing myself to start going again is always a pain!

    I like them. They are a chore at first, but when you get into a rhythm, they become a normal part of your day and they fit well in the schedule. Gym suits me really well since I sit through the most of my day and it's cold now, so I don't spend much time out. That's the only thing where my body gets any activity.

    When it comes to boredom, it was killing me as well, but then I started taking audio books when I'm alone. When I have company, it's ok anyway.


    Oh, and the showers are cool too :grin: (no, they are hot and steamy... but cool :slight_smile:)

    I really hate the gym, which is funny becaue I also hate sitting on the couch all day. I much prefer hiking and stuff like that. And I also liked mixed martials arts, but the gym no.

    Yeah I enjoy it if I go with friends, I see it as much as a social thing as just for working out. Plus if you have goals you want to achieve and something to aim for it makes it much more enjoyable/bearable.

    Yeah, both of these.

    Voted for Meh. I don't like or dislike it. I go to the gym to get some muscle because I'm really slim. Sometimes I dread going to the gym but once I get there, it's not so bad. Also the hot guys there are good eye candy :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I spend a ton of time in the gym. Actually considered opening one once. Barbell club type place though. Lots of rusty weights and no TV's.

    I've never been to one since I've always either done stuff outside or worked out at home on equipment. But the gym atmosphere isn't appealing at all, especially since I'd feel like I'm being watched or something, lol. Although the eye candy would be nice. :grin:

    I like exercise, but at a gym I just feel watched. If I'm going to exercise I'm going to get tomato red in the face and be drenched in sweat....not exactly the best look for me. I also have been told by many people that I have a silly run and do not like the feeling of being judged. I wish I had a treadmill at home, but going on trails with a friend is the best way for me to work out.
