Gym vs Home Workout True Cost
Compare five-year gym membership costs with home workout setup and subscription costs.
What this means
Break-even: 17 months.
Formula used
Gym annual = membership*12 + travel + time value; home five-year = equipment + app*60.
Worked example
£45/month gym plus £180 travel vs £600 equipment and £10/month app => £3,600 gym, £1,200 home, 17-month break-even.
Common questions
Can I use this internationally?

It follows the published Technofatty formula for this tool, but real life can add fees, rules, timing quirks, and context.
Plain-English summary
Gym 5-year cost £3,600.00; home 5-year cost £1,200.00.
This section translates the result into a short, direct takeaway rather than leaving the page at a bare number.
