HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Some truly priceless comments.

1. People have to be honest with themselves. I know for me, I would never go run 10 miles out at the local track. But I will do a couple of miles a day on a treadmill at my house.
2. The gym fantasy. One of many reasons why people fail to do anything. Again, being honest with yourself, is that I can easily think of 10 reasons any given day why I do not wanna get ready, drive to the gym, work out for half a day and so on. But... if the equipment's here, I can make time for it. 3-5 times a week.
I just know myself and I am honest about it.
3. When you are out of shape, you do not need the 'perfect set up'. i.e. free weights, etc. Much like I started on a treadmill, and am moving to an elliptical. You have to walk before you can run.
Those things said, the comments are dead on for how most have memberships, and never go. Or buy equipment, and never use it, etc.
