Overall, joining a fitness center is a bigger personal commitment than purchasing home fitness equipment.

Yes joining a fitness center is a bigger personal commitment than purchasing home fitness equipment. It takes a daily practice of dedication and motivation to get out and use the equipment in another environment. It requires a monthly payment as opposed to a one time payment and that can sometimes be a good motivation to continue with the commitment. To get out the door and away from excuses takes a lot more time than walking to the living room and getting on the treadmill. But the benefits that a fitness center can bring to you, albeit a bigger person of commitment, are way more beneficial than one piece of equipment at home.
