What gym do you use?

[Bonus]

Interested to know what kind of gym everyone uses?
Large commercial, spit & sawdust or home gym?

Home gym for me. It is my sanctuary away from the kids and with it only being in the garage I find I am more motivated to train. I set it up with an old flat screen TV and an android box. Yeah it does not have as much gear as a full gym but I have all I need.

In the process of doing exactly the same myself!
I'm converted!
I think it will always be a 'work in progress' as I try to improve it and add equipment, but same as you, it's already feeling like my sanctuary, wish I'd been able to do this years ago, the convenience of it being in the garage is priceless for me.
My work means I have to spend time in two locations to some extent so I still need to use a commercial gym when I'm away, but the aim is to lessen this then I can drop the commercial membership, or at least move to a PAYG arrangement.

I have a basic gym in my spare room. Bench, rack, a pair of powerblock db, and the bare essentials of plates..... enough for me

I have 2 benches, one for bench presses with built in stands and a second adjustable (incline to decline) with leg extension. A squat stand and tricep dip station. I also have a pull up bar attached to the roof and what I call ‘the Polish Pully’ for lat pull downs etc. It is all I need for now really.

Spit and sawdust for me but a “modern” one if that makes sense.

The gym is my getaway for that one hour a day and chatting with one or two of the guys afterwards is the highlight of my social life too lol

I've always bounced around.
Powerlifting rig in the shed with 300kg of plates and various items of torture. But I like to use several different places which are mostly commercial ones unfortunately, but they do have nice stuff to look at ;-)

Some commercials aren’t bad at all these days, can definitely get a decent-ish session in, just avoid peak times

I train at home now with a half-decent set up. Fuck gyms lol.
I'd only use a gym again if I was looking for a new girlfriend that was into fitness.

Why do people do that go to a gym just for a body part like some fancy machine makes you bigger lol. Just do the old school way squat then super set that with leg press 30-40 rep 3 sets no need for fancy machines

My goto leg exercise is Hack squat , beats squatting for me , did years of squatting , get better results from Hacks
My gym doesn’t have one ? I like the variety of a different gym now and again. New faces and a change of environment keeps it interesting I suppose

That is very true bud a good environment helps massively in training I find too
