Since 2004, Laurence Grigorov has served as the director of Laurence Martin Developments, a construction and property development firm. In his free time, Laurence Grigorov enjoys going to the gym four times a week.

With so many at-home gym opportunities, buying exercise equipment and foregoing a gym membership might be tempting. However, there are some compelling reasons to join a gym.

First, the exercise options at a gym are many, from cardio equipment to a full range of weights. Many gyms even offer group exercise classes, swimming pools, and racquetball courts.

Second, it’s easier to stay motivated when you’re surrounded by like-minded people who are also pushing themselves. Additionally, many gyms offer access to personal trainers who can teach members to exercise correctly and efficiently.

Finally, people who invest in their own exercise equipment are responsible for maintaining it. With a gym membership, you’ll never have to hire a mechanic to fix your treadmill.
