Personally, I think the advantages and disadvantages are mainly divided into the following points. I don't know what kind of equipment you are talking about, but I guess it may be something that integrates pull-down, leg flexion and extension, rowing, chest pushing and chest clamping. There are many cables and pulleys in that thing. If you only spend one annual card, I can tell you that at least one function has broken down in less than one year. The following is the answer to the title of the question: Self-purchased fitness equipment: Advantages: 1 It reduces the time cost, saves the transportation cost and time consumption to the gym, and facilitates the timely arrangement of training. Although the gym is open for a long time, it is still not 100% compatible with the end time of work, so it is more convenient to arrange it at home. Disadvantages: 1 Home decoration is not suitable for intense, you don't have to compete with others for fitness equipment, and you don't have to worry about closing the gym and running away. Do you want to throw away the barbell after the clean and jerk? You don't have to find a neighbor, you don't even want to do it yourself. Well, you can't do that in most gyms. Without the guidance of coaches and the communication of fans, the social function of fitness itself will be reduced. Gym: Advantages: complete equipment (relative to home), spacious space, professional coach guidance (although it may be unprofessional, but at least it is better than unprofessional), communication with fans, * * * progress, and no occupation of home space. Disadvantages: noisy, sweating. There are many people, waiting for equipment and traffic problems, so there is more spare time for scheduling. It is suggested that it is best to choose a nearby fitness center to practice. Of course, if you really don't want to go, it is not recommended to buy a comprehensive trainer. It is recommended to buy floor mats, kettle bells, elastic belt, yoga shafts, barbells and wall-mounted horizontal bars.
