After a year and a half of working out in my basement, I did something kinda big—I went back to a commercial gym. It wasn’t planned, but the second I stepped inside, I realized I had been missing something. The energy. The variety. The feeling of pushing myself in a different way. Today, I’m breaking down why I made the switch and how to know if your workouts are still serving you.

🔹 The surprising moment that made me realize I missed the gym.
🔹 Why my basement workouts stopped being enough—and how I knew it was time for a change.
🔹 The truth about getting stronger: Are your workouts actually challenging you?
🔹 The gym vs. home workout debate—how to figure out what actually works for you.
🔹 Strength training is non-negotiable for me—here’s why it should be for you, too.

If you’re lifting weights (or thinking about it), this one’s for you.
