I have been a little negative about the home gym…think the social aspects of the common guy and the group activities make it much better. Still think so, but up here in the Berkshire hills, they are thin on the ground and I have built a heck of a home gym. And it is a joy. Just came in from a long session on the Erg (rowing machine) and some machines…watch dumb sports/talk shows the whole time. Boys at play but not bad. And I did do it, which is the great requirement. It is easy and pleasant to go out there and do it. C
