- Home workouts vs gym workouts, the great debate continues! While each one has its ups and downs, I have left the gym scene and moved to fully work out at home.
After years of experience with both gyms and home workouts, here are my insights to help you decide what is best for you. Guess what, 90% of you will probably only need your home for your workouts, and I explain why in this video.

I like being at the gym more but I hate getting to and coming from the gym, even when it's close by. I'm just more consistent at home.
Thank you that was very helpful it really opened my eyes in needing a gym membership vs having the determination to just workout at home.
No problem! Pick the place you know you will get the best results and be consistent :) now take action and get those gains!
Thanks,my fellow gamer,it helped a lot lot more than I expected 💯
I’m a pt and I completely agree, you don’t need to go to a gym to workout
. I actually found I workout better at home😊 Great video
Awesome. What are certified in?
I also feel very comfortable to workout at home rather than going to gym.
Programmers have to stay healthy, we sit at a desk all day.
It's true! I currently do customer support and also sit at a desk. I know the lifestyle well.
Your greedy boss should invest in standing desks
I do have my own standing desk at home which I use now. I still find myself sitting way too long as time passes. It is nice to own a standing desk though while working from home.
Just found you brotha even tho this video is old I love what you do man got my sub.
Thanks I'm actually trying to go full time starting this week back on YT so get ready for some updated content :)
Excellent video Brother, I used to work out at home (in my opinion, BIG mistake) why, because at home you always will have the freedom to either working out or not, you are alone and nobody can judge you, by the other side, you have the ability to socialize more, in addition you can even make new friends, talk to others, look for friends tips, and at least of course, to make a routine out of it (which again in my opinion, is GOOD)
Thanks again from Austria Brother!
Yeah, I never made friends at a gym as I went there for me and me alone. However, if you are someone who goes for that reason, more power to you :)
You seem like your looking for friends rather than focusing on working out……..
Working out at home helps you save money, but it does take longer to get results due to lack of equipment.
Not really. While it could be an issue, if you have a way to create a great enough stimulus for the muscle to fatigue and later build muscle at rest, equipment isn't a big factor. However, depending on the exercise, you may need additional equipment to generate that stimulus based on your personal strength, training, technique/skill, etc.
i totally agree... i myself have started working out every other day for 2 years now and have grown from 59 kgs to 74kg (184cm) and eventho its not the biggest difference or its not like i look buff or anything but atleast u feel comfortable w ur body and look lean.
Nice work!
Can you share your excercise routine plz 🥺

Facts👍💯💯 Gym memberships are a thing of the past. Home workout is the way to go. I love it♥️
Yup, been at home for the vast majority of my lifting career :)
Their not a thing of the past their a thing of the present most people work out at the gym and not at home
Great point man before I was a powerlifter competing only in amateur bodybuilding I developed my physique using home workouts placing in shows but now I am more on powerlifting stuff I really need the gym to hit high numbers. Because of this quarantine I am going back to working out home just looking good never minding the numbers. For me looking good is a lot more better than just being strong.
Nice yeah for powerlifting a gym is going to be the best best. You can get away with building a good body at home, but if you are competing with really heavy weights a gym will be the best bet. Thanks for watching :)
I hope you will upload more home
workout videos.
@@acflores8406 Thank for the input. I am working on more videos all the time. Im going to make any workout vids based on the website plan I currently have. Random workouts don't really help anyone.
I would never have thought about working out at home - but with the current situation I ve had to become more creative in working out - my dilemma is now do I need the gym - should I go back to it when things go back to normal - tttt you still pick up other bugs from the gym - might go for training and running in the park etc but do miss my spin classes and think peloton is too expensive and need bike too.
For years I’ve been teaching myself which routines work for me and I think I have finally found it. Of course right when I find it my sister gets a gym membership. Trying to convince her to work out with me.
It can be very hard to convince people to do things. The only way is to show them the outcome they will achieve from it and the experience they can have along the way. Features and gimmicks are nice, but the emotional response is the only way to truly get someone to follow you :) Good luck!
GamerBody thanks your video helped a lot in reminding me of what exercises I can do home and at the gym👌🏻
@@kennethking2687 are you continuing it now too? If yes, please share your home workout experience ... And which workout you do at home?
@@psythonff3018 the homeworkouts usually started with a short bike ride followed by either bench press or squats depending on what I was focusing on, then would be some curls of either arms or legs, finished with some calisthenics with bands and pull ups. I don’t continue any of these now, recently moved and no longer have my workout equipment
I have a ton of weight and a ton of pulleys. It sucks if it rains on leg day or the days I plan on deadlifting since I like lifting more than what I think my shop floor can handle. More time with kids as well lift and play. Or go to gym and wait for somebody to get off whatever it is I want to use next. Home for me
I tried working out at home after quitting gym because of membership payments. Home workout got boring eventually.
At the gym you are surrounded by people you can make new friends and encouragement I am sticking to the gym. At home I just do cardio in my vr headset
What were you doing as your workouts when you did it from home? Just the VR? That wouldn't be exciting to me, even as someone who loves games.
@@GamerBody I was using barbells and dumbells but not getting any real results. I took out gym membership and after some time I made some improvement but then I couldn't actually make it on time due to traffic and early start for work next day so I began to understand more about resistance bands therefore I bought a couple of pairs I tried them but found them very fiddly frustrating and awkward and on my first attempt the handle snapped therefore I decided to go back to the gym instead.
It can happen. I use weights and resistance bands at home. Take a look at this setup with the bands: czcams.com/video/bvu4aCptTkU/video.html
Thank you!
Since I build my Home Gym, I save money on gaz, gym membership, and a lot of time, I can train almost each day, it's better, and I dont loose my motivation.
Watch out training every day as it isn't necessary and could hinder growth if your workouts are intense enough (taking the target muscle group to failure). 2-3 full body a week is all you need if trained properly. Im glad you are saving money with your home gym!
I love training at home I could grunt, yelled and have no interruptions.
Makes it more enjoyable for sure!
@@GamerBody The only thing I don’t have is a training partner, so I don’t deadlift, bench press or squat with weights for the moment, but when I do I will get back at it again.
Haha I workout all alone so no need for a partner ;)
@@GamerBody That's true I do the same thing, but when it comes to dangerous workouts like deadlifting, bench press and squats I recommend to have a partner, but for exercise workouts like push ups, sit ups, jogging or pull ups you don't.
Yeah I don't use a weighted olympic bar anymore, just dumbbells, bodyweight, and resistance bands. I have added band deadlifts with a bar and some loop bands so I don't need and helpers. Seeing how far that will go.
i want to gain more muscle on my legs and ass, i have been working out almost everyday for 2 months at home. i use resistance bands and weights + ankle weights. it’s hard for me because i’m thin and hard to put on weight with food. the gym is so far away from my house and very expensive to go there everyday. i’m unsure if i should go to gym or keep doing it at home?
I personally only workout at home. Squats will be the #1 exercise and make sure you perfect the form. If you want to build muscle you have to eat enough calories and protein to get bigger muscles. Also don't forget progressive overload or just increasing intensity over time.
hey man i know this vid is very old but i’m currently trying to bulk up by changing my meal times and i currently workout at home with a set of dumbbells that vary in weight and resistance bands. i don’t really have the money for a gym membership so i was just wondering is what i’m doing now gonna get me to where i wanna be in the near future?
So many variables to that question. The main things to focus on are consistency, progressive overload (aiming to improve with each workout in some way), and recovery which includes sleep and nutrition.
I'm not sure where you are and your end goals, but it can take quite some time to see a drastic change. However, stick to the plan and you will get their as long as you keep aiming to get better. It is you against yourself and nobody else. Keep it up :)
Im going to crete my own home gym when I live on my own but for highschool rn im working out in parks and at home probably in the future for uni ill have to stick to the gym. Anyway what do you recommend for home gym equipment?
Dumbbells, pull-up bar, resistance bands and a bench. Those would be my big focus then next us is an roller and maybe the dip bar station.
GamerBody i ordered a dip station and i have resistance bands. Im planning to buy dumbbells and a bench but a pull up bar i dont think its possible since my doors are really not suitable for a doorway pullup bar. Do you think inverted rows and dumbell rows is a good substitute?
While both great exercises, the are both horizonal pulling movements. You will want to find a way to get in a vertical pull into your workouts as that is what creates a wider back. Lat pulldowns can do this as well with bands. I just prefer pullups
GamerBody hmm ill see if i can mange to create a lat pull down with my door snd resistance bands if not ill go to the park to do some pullups or imma google some alternatives.
Both an elliptical for home & seriously you save so much money. The gym is kinda disgusting, everyones sweat be all over lol
I stopped my membership few months ago. Used that money to buy a couple set of bars. Should have done this a long ago.
I just want to stay healthy. You know what programmers' problem are😅. And yes the muscles grow too. Not because I go to gym, but because I lift something.
Like u said, if you wanna be a great power lifter or you need friend to do this. It's not a solution for u
Awesome man keep it up! It is really where you can workout most effectively and for me, to save time :) keep up the good work
Where do you find your workouts? I’ve never used resistance bands before so how do they incorporate into your workout?
I make my workouts. See the current one I have at gamerbody.com/training
@@GamerBody Thank you!!!
Thanks for the vid dude!
Just gotta put in the hard work haha
Unfortunately where I live it’s either $20/month in the ghetto or $200/month😂
Start learning the skills with what you can afford, and over time, add equipment to enhance your workout for time. No need to spend a ton of money.
do south east asia, here is just 5usd in the ghetto the premium is only 12$
Gyms are a waste of time for most people. A lot of people turn up between 5-6pm, the gym is packed and you have to wait for practically every station; waiting while some chump idly checks text messages, taking 20 mins to do two sets of leg press is no fun. What counts is consistency, particularly with diet.
Agreed. Most people would benefit with just simple exercises done at home for 15-30 minutes a couple times a week. If you are looking to compete a gym may be needed depending on the sport, but the average person really doesn't need the gym, they just need to add muscle since you will begin to lose it as you age leading to other issue.
I’ve been working out since April and I have been working out pretty good and eating well but I’m still not gaining muscle and I hate being skinny, I just feel like if your scronny then the gym is the best place to gain muscle
Remember the process is not as fast as you think it is. Marketing has made it seem like you pack on muscle very quickly when it takes years!
That is why consistency wins out. Remember the aim is to get stronger and use progressive overload (intelligently) to continue building muscle and getting stronger over time.
3 months is not long enough to see big changes. You should start to feel stronger and better at exercises, but you will need at least a year to see good improvements at home or in a gym. Remember it has been almost 10 years since I started in a gym then moved over to home workouts. Keep up the good work!
GamerBody thank you so much that really helps me and thanks for replying you really do care about your viewers keep up the awesome videos
Hey what do you look like now. Have you gotten a better physique
@@gustavoroque8830 yes I have it was my sleep schedule because I was working the night shift and I changed my workouts to lift heavy not all the time but have a few days of the month to lift heavy to maximize muscle growth
Keep up the great work! Sounds like a tough schedule to get it in so do what you can and focus on what you want to achieve and cut the rest out.
I do working out at home so I can do it at my own paste
Good choice. My first few years when I went to a gym started to get old waiting for equipment. It definitely extended my sessions and extra 15-30 minutes depending on how busy it was.
What exercises do I need for full body and I like gym and home workouts I need to lose 60 pounds
Feel free to use mine for free over at GamerBody.com/training
I update this as I make improvements but this will work well for anyone starting out. Make sure you can do the exercises without any past injuries.
I want to go to the gym to lose 50 pounds because running 12k a week isnt helping me much
Then after that i can just focus on running , yoga and swimming , which is super cheap in my country because its sunny all year round
So do you recommend i go get in shape at the gym , then quit after that and do the other stuff?
Thanks for the question. If you really want to get good results, o highly recommend adding in resistance training. Lifting weights, even for females, should have a focus on resistance training.
You will get stronger, be more confident, and "recomp" your body. While the other exercises are fine, it's not all about cardio. Try resistance training for 3-6 months and see the benefits :)
A little late, but I did the gym just to get myself comfortable with resistance training and to do cardio in the winter months. Once the pandemic happened, I already knew what I needed to do to workout and get a routine. Downside is, I miss the social aspect of it, but thankfully I got everyone's numbers before the world ended. Use the gym as an opportunity to experiment and to see what works for your body and go from there.
Yeah I think that is one of the best parts of the gym is finding like minded people and being in an environment of those also looking to improve their bodies. Keep up the good work training at home!
I have mixed feelings about it. Lately, I’ve not been going to the gym. Just bored with it. I have a total gym (underrated piece of equipment), loop bands and ones with handles , and some dip bars. I have adjustable dumbbells on the way. Last thing I’d like is a power tower amd I’m all set. Luckily I have a larger apartment so I fit these things ok, a bit tight. But I’ll make it work. Hoping to lose 50 pounds. My diet is a mess. I need to clean it up big time. I’m a junk food junky and love beer. Problem is those things don’t love me.
The beer/drinking is probably the #1 thing that will improve your results (if you drink it regularly). Otherwise, focus on building muscle. This in itself may improve your diet in order to get in the protein and nutrients you need for the best results. Good luck on your journey regardless of the location :)
@@GamerBody funny as I read this I’m watching your bull bar review. I liked it for its ability to collapse. I’ll stick with the tried and true Stamina 1690. Loads of great reviews. 114 bucks on Amazon.
@@HNunyabusiness nice, I was looking at that one as well but since it doesn't fit in my closet or well in my workout area, I didn't test it out. Not bad though if it works for you, especially for the price.
Can you make video on complete home workout to get gains and stay fit?
I have quite a few on the channel, but my current program I update from time to time is on GamerBody.com/training and it is all free, no sign up required
@@GamerBody you're awesome
Thanks :)
what equipment do i need for a mini workout space at home?
Take a look at GamerBody.com/equipment for all the equipment I own and use that fit in my small closet.
So invest in a home gym,buying an equipment for home is better than buying a membership.
If u are not consistent at home ,gym membership won't magically help.
Don't have to meet people u don't want to, if u workout at home.
Buy a benchpress and few weights and u are good to go
Hey , ive been doing home resistance-band exercises for a month and a half now and never trained before , i’m looking into buying a set of dumbells and bars that costs only $160 and goes up to 50KG weight , do you recommend that i buy the set right now ? Ive seen some changes from the bands but nothing too much
It comes down to how much space you are willing to take up in your home, is the equipments value high, and can you afford it. Also, will you actually use it in your workouts.
For me, I want everything to fit in a small closet when not in use, but still have enough to build a good body and hit muscle groups at different angles.
It sounds like a solid deal as long as that equipment can provide at least, or more, then $160 worth of value to you.
So basically I have lost tons of weight before just from being home and working out at home, then I gained all back due to co-vid it affected me mentally basically.
But I had a gym membership for a year and let me tell you I hardly went. Now I totally feel you regarding the time issue, but you are right. As long as you are taking care of yourself, it doesn't have to be at the gym it can be at home.
Thank you for that 😄
Yeah, and you don't need a ton of weight unless you are looking to compete. You can build a great body with just 50lb dumbbells and a decent program :)
What's your instagram? Cool you lived in Nashua, I was there for a period, and been moving around NH, and about to move to Somerville, MA, where I think gyming is gonna be much more expensive, crowded, and time-consuming. I bought some band stuff largely because of your channel. Think I'm gonna see if I can work out at home exclusively. Your body type and goals largely fit mine. I like to work out to feel good and look fit, but I'm not aiming for huge size myself.
if you search "GamerB0dy" on Instagram is should come up.
Guess it's home workout then...I have been contemplating gym or home....the only problem I have now is my momentum and consistency...any ideas for me?
Count to 3 and go. I've never been one to hype someone to workout. I just provide information and the person can make the decision. For me, I got sick of feeling bad for myself and that was enough of a push to get me to workout for 11+ years. I know most people aren't like that, but know that once you go for a few months, it gets pretty easy to continue after you begin seeing improvements.
@@GamerBody alright...thank you!
I work out at home because I look like a turkey in the gym
That's a solid reason. If you feel you are more comfortable at home go for it. Just remember the same training principles apply for improving your body as they do at a gym :)
@@GamerBody thank you
i’m at this crossroads right now!
No worries. My recommendation is keep it simple now and figure out when you can workout first. From there, pick the equipment you want to use and if you don't mind traveling or just want to get out of the house.
For me, working out from home has been a huge improvement in my life, but there may be other reasons you don't want to. I just got sick of traveling to the gym, then waiting on equipment.
I like it better when no one's watching me so 🤷🏽♀️
Home is the way to go then :)
No one would care to watch you they all are focused 9n their training not trying to be mean.
It's true, others don't care about you unless you do something crazy, then they film it and it appears on gym fail videos ;)
I have a treadmill + 0.5 to 10 kg dumbbells (MUCH more than the weight that I can lift at the moment) + resistance bands, I need to gain 2 kgs of lean muscle mass, please tell me I have enough equipment and I can gain what I need at home !!!
I'd personally get a pull-up bar of some kind. It has been a staple of my training since I started and provides a lot of bang for your buck.
GamerBody yes we have one if those, i can use that as well thank you so much for responding 🙏🏻🌹
Nice! Keep up the good work.
Idk if I should buy my own equipment or go to this gym. It's $15 a week AUD and it's literally a 8min how away from me
Up to you and if the time is worth it or not. For me, walking to a room to my workout area is amazing and I don't have to worry about other people, traffic, getting ready,etc. All up to personal preference though and goals.
I work out at home with kettle bell and dumbbells and lose 2 stone
What burns more calories gym or home workouts?? I really wanna know.
Doesn't matter. The focus on resistance training workouts should not be to burn calories but to send a stimulus to the body that it must build muscle.
The workouts themselves won't burn a meaningful number of calories. It will burn calories, but less than you think, and ultimately it won't really change how much body fat you lose. That will come in a calorie deficit over a period of time.
Can you still gain muscles fast at home
This all depends on what you are doing, your current training length, your programming, etc. Yes you can definitely build muscle at home as resistance and tension along with nutrition and recovery will produce he results. Why wouldn't you be able to build muscle at home? Your brain and body just know that it is under stress and needs to adapt.
I love working out at home more. I don't want to spend too much time and money on the gym. I always work out with the videos on CZcams
Nice! Are you just using body weight, or do you have some equipment as well?
@@GamerBody Both.
I prefer the gym because i find it easier to workout with equipment than doing pushups & sit ups on the floor at home.
Perfectly reasonable. I mostly workout from home due to time and getting sick of waiting for equipment.
Hmmm
Great video, but thumbail could be better.
Make better thumbnails and you will get a lot more views.
Yeah this one is really old. Not sure how it even got as many views as it has haha.
bro what amount of weights an apartment can hold without breaking out the floor?
No idea. I've never had a setup that would come close to breaking out the floor. I try to avoid anything like that at all costs.
9:37 lmao
I mean, I'm funny sometimes ;)
Save money and gas work out at home
And most importantly, time :)
@1 ova kind if you need the gym, do it no one is stopping you. If you are consistent at a gym, that is what will get the results. I found I wasn't and didn't want to travel back and forth or wait for equipment, so I train at home. I also achieved some awesome results in the last 6+ years.
@1 ova kind alright, explain it then. No need to beat around the bush about it.
@1 ova kind justify what? You said I wouldn't get it, so I'm waiting on your explanation so I can better understand what you are talking about.
I still workout at home now, so, can i build more muscle like everyone at gym, when i just doing workout at home?
Depends on your goals. Can you get to a body builder stage ready size? Not likely, but you can build a body better than 99% of the rest of the world when done correctly :)
@@GamerBody ok, thanks for the information 🙏
Home no money
Gym money²
?
For going gym we have to pay
But we can exercise in our home for free just we have to know the tricks for build body
Can home workout make powerfull body??
Home workouts allow you to build muscle and strength when done correctly (same as a gym if you can provide a great enough stimulus). From there, the muscle built, (regardless of where it was built) can produce more contractile force, but skill will also be a large factor in how powerful and safe you are able to perform the movement.
@@GamerBody thank you chad😌
Gym in Colorado to expense I believe it’s like 120$ a month :/
Whoa...is that an Equinox or something?
@@GamerBody no I wish lol it’s anytime fitness Robert Jean gym and most of the gyms around me are 100 and above sadly
Home work out is much better for my pocket but also I feel makes you have your own time to yourself
Yeah, I looked to move away from the gym after waiting for equipment and wasting time traveling to the gym (I used to live 15 minutes from mine, but I would be closer now if I went back).
do working out at home give benifits
