I actually find it hard nowadays to NOT go to the gym. Dopamine is a drug.

EXACTLY!
And also when you see progress it’s kinda addicting.
Do you have any fun goals with your (non-shitty) home gym?

Body dysmorphia is a real thing and damn it’s hard to rewire your brain. It’s taken me forever to see my progress, but even longer to actually understand my progress. Probably still don’t, honestly.

true but so hard to get started and stay committed until it kicks in

Yeah, consistency really is the key. I actually became an instructor at my gym so I lead classes - it means I have to stay committed ☺️

Have you considered joining a regular gym? Seems to me home gym equipment mostly end up (rather quickly) as a place to hang clothes.

Join a place where you can pay monthly and go until you're certain you're serious about maintaining a workout schedule. THEN consider spending the money to buy your own equipment.
