As someone who played sports in high school and stayed active in college and beyond, I’ve tried a lot of different workouts in a lot of different settings over the years. And I want to get one thing out of the way real fast: No form of exercise is inherently better than another. As long as you’re moving your body in a way you enjoy, keep doing what you’re doing.
That being said, I have a bone to pick with boutique fitness classes. You know, the ones that take place in super dark rooms, music blaring, influencers abound – all for the low, low price of $300 a month? I’ll stay right here spending less than $50 per month with my Peloton subscription and home gym setup that consists of a stationary bike, two sets of dumbbells, a few resistance bands, and a yoga mat.
