Had to pick between a pricey gym membership or home weights. The savings hurt at first.

I was paying $65 a month for a gym I barely used because of my odd hours. So I finally canceled and spent $180 on a used barbell set and some plates off Facebook Marketplace. That was 6 months ago and I have already saved over $200. The first few weeks were rough because I missed the machines, but now I actually lift more often at home. No commute means I can squeeze in a quick session even on busy days. Anybody else ditch their gym for home gear and notice the savings add up fast?

Made the same swap last year, no regrets at all.

Best decision I ever made.

@the_joseph knows what's up. Same swap here. Did it about six months ago. Best thing I ever did for my setup. Never going back.
