I'm a slim build and hate gyms because of the damn guido's grunting and always checking themselves out in the mirrors. But not all gyms are like this, I went to a real old school gym for a while, think Rocky Balboa style! Barely anyone went there and I preferred it but gyms aren't for me, I'd rather any day do circuit training outside, lifting weights was my biggest issue as it bores me to tears!
Either way if you want to lose weight you don't need a gym, going for a run/jog around your local park, footy oval or lake will give you the desired effects. Plus personally I can't help but smile when I see a plus size person going for a jog, makes me happy to see they're actually doing something and makes me realise how damn lazy I am!
