Hi Fastlaners,
I’m curious how you’d handle this problem:
I train as a powerlifter and spend 3-4.5 hrs. per week in the gym. I’m not a professional - this is just what I’m into.
Currently, I train at LA Fitness. The equipment sucks for what I’m doing though it IS possible to train there.
The people there are usually doing dumb exercises and are uninspiring to be around.
The only plus is it’s a 3 minute drive time.
On the flip side, the best lifting gym in town is 9 minutes away.
The equipment is exactly what I need and the people there are the strongest in town.
It’s very inspiring to be there even though I’m one of the weakest people there.
Lifting there is pure joy and, honestly, I can lift more weight there just because of the environment. (I think it’s a psychological thing.)
Talk about surrounding yourself with successful people! When it comes to health and fitness, they’ve got it.
Problem is: is it worth the drive time?
How does a fast-laner handle this problem?
Here’s the opportunity cost breakdown based on my time being worth $200/hr.
LA Fitness: $3,490.20/yr.
Other gym: $9,120.00/yr.
Which one would you go with? Less joy and inspiration but more time to build your biz, call prospects, hunt for opportunity.
OR more joy, inspiration, possibly better fitness with slightly less time to be productive.
Thanks for your input!
