Don't really need one. All the exercise I tend to do can be done at home.
I don't like to exercise when people can look at me.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone elseI don't know where one is and I don't feel like it. Simple as that.
It's my job to be at the gym, always there. Including first thing in the morning
Luminous beings are we, not this crude matterBecause when I got in shape it did nothing to change my life. It was a lot of work for absolutely nothing. So I stopped.
Because of school and I'm too damn lazy.
-insert appropriate signature here-Just got out of the army, where I was forced to work out, so now I'm enjoying being lazy. Who knows, maybe one day I'll decide to hit the gym, but for right now, fuck that.
I already have enough on my table what with phone, credit card and car payments without piling gym membership dues on top of all that. I’ll get what cardio I can from hiking and just suffer with my spaghetti-strand arms.

Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883!Me Too. I would go but I need money and more self esteem.
"Eratoeir is a Gangsta."I find repetitive things like lifting weights or jogging around a track boring. I just go for long walks outside instead.
The last thing you hear before an unstoppable juggernaut bisects you with a minigun.Not trying to convert anyone here, but the problem I have with the "people will stare at me" argument is that a lot of the super-fit people you see in the gym got that way because they focused on their workout instead of staring back at you. There was a seemingly inexperienced woman meandering around one of the weight benches last week, and she kept looking at me worryingly like I was going to critique her. I was really just wanting her to move along so I could do more squats and deadlifts.
There are some people who go to the gym to show off, but the best gym rats tend to mind their own damn business and get their workout knocked out instead of eyeballing the newbies. Note: everyone was a newbie at some point, and some of the assholes you'll see looking down on you used to be inexperienced and lacking confidence just like you.

I guess you have a point. I still don't want to go to the gym though, I really feel envious of them.
"Eratoeir is a Gangsta."Gah. I've been going regularly to the gym until a year ago, then pre-graduation crunchtime and, after that, full-time work kicked in.
I've been trying to make myself do some kind of regular physical activity for several months, and this very post is another attempt to self-guilt myself into it. But I'll probably wait until I can gain some more free time.

Kinda hard to turn off being self-conscious If that's how you are.
Actually, those are rather common at the gym.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.There's no gyms in walking distance from my house, I don't have a driver's license, I'm paid just 30 cents an hour above minimum wage, and I have a million other fucking things to do. Oh and I walk to work and I'm regularly handling 20 - 50 pound cases of produce and pulling around carts of at least 12 cases.
Used to but then I started vomiting a lot. Even if I hadn't eaten anything. Very embarrassing.
As for now, I don't think fainting and/or would go down well with the other patrons of the facilities.
Plus I got some exercise stuff at home and I think it's for the best if I stay low to the ground when I exercise.
I work a job that largely involves running around with boxes all night, many of which exceed fifty pounds and occasionally go into 100+ territory. In short, I don't go to the gym because my job is essentially a gym membership that I get paid to have.
I never said otherwise.
I'm too fat and lazy.
I don’t even know anymore.
