Ready to get started with your workout regime, but do not know if you should pick between working out at home using the home gym equipment or enroll yourself in a gym near you? Well, you can only decide if you are aware of the pros and cons of working out at home. Let us get started and address these pros and cons one by one. 

Pros

1. No excuse to skip a workout
When you are working out at home, you can fit a workout anytime in your schedule. There is no need to have a fixed schedule, and you do not have to commute and pack your stuff to visit the gym. When you wish to work out is totally up to you. 

2. Less anxiety
When you visit the gym for the first time, it can be quite daunting for you to get familiar with the equipment or workout in front of other people in the gym. So, setting up a gym at your home can be a huge plus if you suffer from social anxiety. You no longer have to deal with the pressure of working out in front of other people. This is particularly advantageous for someone conscious about certain body aspects or their poor fitness level. A home gym can give you the time and space to work on yourself from the comfort of your home.  

3. Low cost
Working out from your home is relatively less expensive than working out at the gym. Home workouts involve little to no cost. You can choose the workout depending on your knowledge of exercises. Alternatively, you can even follow some tutorials you can find online, which do not require any equipment. You can also invest in some workout equipment. There are so many low-cost equipments that you can easily find in the market. Having just a standard set of weights, along with any cardio equipment, will suffice to give your body a comprehensive workout at home. 

Cons

1. Too much flexibility
Of course, it is great that you can work out anytime and anywhere you want, but for some people, it might mean working out tomorrow instead of today. As you may be aware, tomorrow rarely comes. 

2. No accountability
At times, you need someone yelling at you to nudge you into doing more straining workouts or force you into doing that one more rep. For most of us, challenging ourselves can be quite a task.

3. Limited equipment and space
When you work out at home, you are not only confined into your home, but you are also stuck using a small section of your home as your workout space. Moreover, the equipment you have is also limited, compared to the top-of-the-line equipment you will find at the gym. 

So, these are some of the pros and cons of working out at home.
