1. There was a time when you thought working out only looked like this:
2. But then you realized that you could be fit AF without ever stepping foot in a gym.
3. You'd rather chew on your fingernails than stay on a treadmill for 40 minutes.
4. But running outside is pretty damn refreshing.
5. Just thinking of gym membership prices makes you cringe more than the thought of going on the elliptical.

6. Their monochrome colors and stale smells make workouts seem like chores.
7. Whereas nature has all the power to make you forget that you're technically exercising.
8. You have absolutely no idea how to use 90% of the equipment in those mega-gyms anyway.
Why I hate big gyms...
9. Sometimes, all those machines feel a bit impersonal.
10. You always have the sneaking suspicion that everyone is constantly sizing you up.
11. You find comfort in the basics, like mats, exercise balls, and a good old barbell.

13. Group workouts outside the gym are also your absolute jam — like whatever the hell is happening here.
14. And OMFG did you know you could dance awkwardly and punch shit and that's considered healthy?
15. You know how to get creative with your workouts.
16. And you're just as fit as those people who spend hours inside a sweaty gym.
17. So basically, there's no reason for you to ever join a gym.
