To gym or not to gym, that is the eternal question. I think it comes down to personal preference.
Some gyms are "meet" (get the humor?) markets. Some are insanely serious. Others offer a broad range of lifting equipment, cardio machine and classes - sometimes the classes are even free!
I personally like the atmosphere of a nice gym; it motivates me and gives me another place to work out, along with clean showers and steam rooms/sauna, etc. I also have a spin bike at home along with a Nordic Track I've had for 15 years (yes, I still use it, too) and a set of Power Blocks that go up to 90 lbs. each. It's nice to have a choice in working out at home or the gym.
I do believe that the more variety you have, the more interesting working out can be. That makes it fun and keep you at it. And I also believe that you have to do what is right for your own individual tastes!
