I don't understand why you need a gym. Use a treadmill? Just run somewhere. Lifting weights? Just find something heavy and lift it.

My oldest friend stayed fit this way. Just actually going places and using random ass things to lift (backpacks full of books, paint cans tied to a mop like barbells, tires; anything heavy enough that it was a workout), along with other exercises that didn't require machines or spending money.

Because it's all an impulse decision

"New Year's Resolutions" are the exact opposite of setting good goals

Good goals:

  • need to be definable
    • "I will start restricting calories and target a 1lb per week loss"
    • not "get in shape"
  • need to be actionable
    • "I will start making plans right now, and implementing them tonight"
    • not "I will wait till a specific time of the year"
  • need to be sustainable
    • "I will adjust my strategy to work around my daily habits and otherwise be flexible"
    • not "NO MORE SWEETS"
