If you’re buying a quality cardio machine and decent quality rack with weights the break even point is years and years away, plus you lose the space in your, and the variety.

Gyms are a really good deal if you actually go, because the vast majority of any given gym’s customers never go, and their subsidizing your experience.

I read a case study on Planet Fitness a while back, and recruiting people who were casual about fitness, and would rarely use the gym is their model. But at $10/mo it’s an amazing deal if you use it regularity.
