I wonder why they never use them. :unsure:...Yea, I'd have to get someone to help me move it probably.

Kinda like getting a year membership at a gym as part of a New Year's resolution and then quitting by March. Same with gym equipment. People buy it all the time and it ends up collecting dust. I also think it's harder to exercise at home because there's more distraction and it's easier to just stop as opposed to actually going to a gym.

But yeah you'll need a truck and another person for sure. I used to work for a moving company and treadmills are one of the worst things to move.

I feel like it would be more fun to have one in my own place instead of going to the gym and more convenient. So it might be good for me. Also, I wouldn't like spending money on one and only using it for a couple months.

I made up my own gym with led lighting strips around the bottom and got a cheap projector to play YouTube videos and follow my favourite you tube workout instructors. or music, and you can find really cheap exercise machines on marketplace.
I think if you like the space you cerate and make it just for exercising you will use it. make it your own.
I get that going to the gym you have to finish the classes and when I'm doing a exercise video at home from YouTube I sometimes give up.
but I also found I couldn't properly workout at the gym. I was self conscious I don't like being watched so it wasn't as an intense didn't feel like a workout when i went to the gym. and the equipment was always taken by your regulars and I had to build courage to go. I think its a great idea what your doing you can make it your own space and set aside a time table and only use that space to work out so you stick to it x

Hmm, a projector would make it pretty interesting. Yea, I want one cause it's more convenient and saves on gas for me.

I went to the gym literally only two days before I heard about covid back in January 2020. Lol So I ended up only going there for like a month. It would be nice to go back again but I don't want to drive 15 minutes there and back every other day. But it was fun going on the treadmill while playing my music from my phone through my earphones.

I thought about buying a second vehicle just to drive in the summer so I didn't have to keep swapping my tires every season. I can just leave the snow tires on the Ford Escape and drive the other car in the summer. I don't want to buy any used cars here due to the road salt. I would like to buy one from down south. My brother is living in North Carolina now. I should look for one down there.

What a fun thread! Let me write up my shopping list: deodorant, cat food and snacks, a new pack of pens (but maybe I should go over my current pen pile first). Incense. Water. Bananas. Strawberries. Bagels. What else? Windex.

Having a second set of wheels with the winter tires already on would be more convenient than having the tires swapped all the time. I've got some summer performance tires I'm thinking of doing that with. Could do it yourself at least if you wanted to rather than needing a shop. Having a second vehicle is always wise too though.
