You’re deciding on a routine that works for you personally rather than anyone else, so listen to your body, think about what activity and exercise you enjoy doing and decide based on that.

Attending your HITSona, Ayr gym vs. Home workout
Whilst a lot of people are confident that their home workout and gym setup is professional and can compete with the best, there are still fundamental differences between exercising at home and using your Ayr gym or fitness studio.
The first is the quality of coaches available to you. Gym training means that you access experts that know exactly what they’re doing and can improve your form and physique in real-time. Whilst you might try to film yourself at home and improve based on your recordings, that isn’t always something that yields results.
Having good people around you can also make a big difference. Doing high-intensity training in a small group setting means that you have a group of great people around you pushing you on, driving you to work out and achieve the best results for your body. Not only do you get the results you want, but you make some great friends.
