Going to the gym may not be effective too especially if there are lots of people working out. You will have to wait your turn before you can use the equipment. The trainer also won’t be able to focus on you when there are lots of people. If the gym is too far, you’ll have a hard time just going there after work.

1. What your fitness goals are?
2. Realistically, how often do you think will you use the equipment?
3. What will be your fitness level goals at 3, 6, 9 months from now?
4. Is the equipment you have enough when you have reached the 3, 6, 9 month marks?
5. Are the equipments you bought offer enough variations that you can change the workouts to prevent your body hitting a stable state.
6. Will you get bored of the exercise or enjoy them?
7. How much is your budget?

After thinking about tall these matters, do you think you are better of setting up your own gym or just going to the gym?
