I agree 100%. True fitness is not something that can be bought and sold. The best workouts are the ones that don’t require any equipment and can be done anywhere. Boycott the big gyms!

I love the article!

I wrote an article once about “7 Reasons Why You Should Never Join A Gym: Confession’s Of A Personal Trainer”

It even landed me on a GREAT Radio program called “Outdoor with Tina Vernom” on Sirrius Radio….keep up the Great work of putting out solid information to the public! One of my 7 reasons is that Fitness is FREE!

Great post. I agree with all your points. Only the misinformed go to these gyms – dreadful, dreadful places.

Surely people can’t really believe that the treadmills, the machines and the limited weight training opportunities at commercial gyms are actually FUN, can they? (and what have they truly done for people?). People who seek ability, transcendence and empowerment train differently, but these techniques are not reserved for some secret society of athletes. Shame people are taken in by the ‘Offers’ at the corporate gym and the ‘offers’ is where the training ends. They are a complete waste of money and time.

I train outside whenever when I want to, with limited equipment and get a workout that is ten times more effective.
