Quotes For Those Of Us That Hate The Gym Life

Before working for Diply, I was part of the administrative team for a large fitness club company. That job came with the perk of a free gym membership. I never once used it in eight years.

I am finding my own way to be healthy and if the gym isn't for you either, then you can find your best option too. Just try things and drop what doesn't work while focusing on what does.

At least until drive-thru instant-workouts become a thing.
