It takes you longer than 30 minutes to get there

你需要花30分钟才能到那儿

Do you wish that there were more than 24 hours in a day? Exactly. Rhetorical question. Spending a long time commuting¹ to the gym is a good reason to switch up your sweat session. For some people-depending on where you live-even 20 to 30 minutes may be too far. In cities, for example, it's wise to pick a gym that's within 15 minutes walking or subway distance. More than that, and it'll be easy to find an excuse when it's cold, dark, or late.

你是否希望一天不止24小时？就是这个道理。反问自己吧，在往返健身房的路上花很长时间是换个健身房的好理由。对有些人而言--取决于他们的居住地--即使20至30分钟的路程都太远了。比如，在城市中，选择步行或坐地铁15分钟内就能到的健身房是明智之举。若超过15分钟，当天气变冷、天黑或时间赶不上的时候，你就会轻易找到不去健身房的借口。

The fitness classes offered just aren't doing it for you

健身房的健身课程并不适合你

Maybe when you joined the gym you liked the class schedule and instructors³. But somewhere along the way your fave instructor² found a new job and the Pilates class you like was swapped⁴ with Zumba or a HIIT class you don't like. Use this as an opportunity to scope out other gyms' class offerings.

也许刚开始加入健身房的时候，你喜欢那里的课程表和教练。但某一天，你最喜欢的教练找到了一份新工作，而你最喜欢的普拉提课程换成了你不喜欢的尊巴舞课或高强度间歇训练课。以此为契机，看看其它健身房有什么课程吧。

You're overpaying

在健身房花了太多钱

A recent survey from supplement and fitness company Myprotein found that Americans spend an average of around $34,000 on gym memberships, personal trainers, or workout plans over their lifetimes. "One sign that should make you consider breaking up with your gym is when you start to balance your checkbook in order to afford it," says iFit trainer Becca Capell. While the financial tipping point will be different for everyone, there are a number of affordable⁵ alternatives that fitness enthusiasts⁶ can use for the sake of their bank accounts. Capell recommends getting a treadmill⁷ or a set of weights to build an at-home gym.

增补健身公司Myprotein最近开展的一项研究发现：美国人一生平均花费34000美元办健身房会员卡、请私人教练或锻炼计划。"不要再去健身房的迹象之一：需要平衡支票簿才能去得起健身房，"iFit教练贝卡·卡佩尔说道。虽然财务临界点因人而异，但健身爱好者可选择其它经济上可承受的健身替代品。卡佩尔建议买个跑步机或一套举重器材，在家就可以锻炼。

The space is dirty

健身房很脏

Gyms are filled with sweaty people. Some gyms cultivate a community where everyone wipes down their equipment after use. Some gyms don't. But beyond just treadmill and kettlebell handles, there are tons of places in a gym that need to be cleaned. If there are hairballs in the corners, grime on the showers and sinks, dust on less popular equipment, and holes in mats or carpeting, it's a dirty gym. Considering that you can pick up infections at a dirty gym, so break up with your gym.

健身房内都是一些汗流浃背的人。有些健身房开辟了一块小天地，每个人使用完设备后都得将其擦干净。而有些健身房没有这样的规定。但除了跑步机和壶铃柄之外，健身房内需要清洁的地方还有很多。如果角落堆积着灰尘、淋浴和水槽上有水垢、使用较少的设备上落有灰尘、垫子或毯子上有洞，那这个健身房真的不干净。鉴于你可能会在这样一个环境差的健身房感染疾病，所以还是不要再去了。
