Good day all! I hope everyone is having a great new year. I'm posting this to a few different sub-reddits so apologies if you read it twice. I need advice or potential ideas for how to move forward in my fitness journey. My main goal is to loss weight ( I am 6'7" and currently 257.4lbs goal weight is 225lbs) and become more aesthetically pleasing to myself and others. I have been doing Crossfit for about 2 years and have been plagued with a calf injury that prevents me from jumping excessively. So that causes difficulty in workouts. However, I struggle with the large commercial gyms as I'm not a big crowd person, plus motivation. The other issue is distance. So I live in a small town, the only gyms here in my town are a CrossFit gym (that I don't go to), a Planet Fitness(PF), Anytime(AT), and a powerlifing gym called Raw Iron(RI) that are independently owned between locations and memberships do not transfer between locations. I work 45-50 mins away in a larger town that has plenty of options for gyms such as Crunch Fitness(CF) and another (RI). Now I use a CrossFit gym in the town I work in. When I started my job (2 years ago) I was required to be in the office 5 days a week for training thus I joined the CrossFit I was driving anyway so I just get up at 4ampack my lunch and clothes and drive the 45 mins to the gym and get there by the 530am class. Then work 730-5 and home. Now that I have been employed for a period of time I can now work from home up to 10 days a month. Thus I do not have to travel the 45 mins saving gas and money and time. This causes an issue as it is cutting my gym time down to approx 3 a week. If I joined the crossfit gym in the town where I live. I am not able to get to work on time at 730 because the 45 min trip is only applicable when the trip is made before 5am. After that traffic and school busses cause delays. I don't like PF as I do Lift heavy weights and sometimes to failure thus dropping occasionally = lunk alarm๐ต. Membership fees aren't an issue really. My CrossFit gym is $150 a month and for 20 classes a month that seemed ok but when you cut down the number of class to 3 a week that doesn't make sense plus when I want to workout on a Saturday/Sunday or a day I'm working from home. I don't want to drive 45 mins to workout. Also no weights at home and not enough disposable income to really get a decent setup. So after reading all this and advice could be appreciated I plan to be as responsive as I can and answer questions. Thank you for reading and everyone have a great day!
