TL;DR:<\/strong> Home workouts are a reasonable starting point and genuinely better than doing nothing, but they run into real limits once progressive overload, proper equipment and expert feedback start to matter. A gym solves the three things home training struggles with most, enough load to keep progressing, a space built for the work, and someone who can correct technique in real time.<\/p>\n

Training at home removes almost every barrier to starting, no commute, no membership decision, no waiting for equipment.
