Gym or Home Workouts

Are you a gym person or do you prefer an at home workout? For years and years (really all the pre 2020 years) I swore I would never be the person to workout at home. Rewind to the time when gyms closed for a time and we had no choice. It was workout at home or don’t workout at all. I was lucky enough at that time to start to build a home gym. I now have a decent amount of equipment and can get in a good workout at home. 
One perk of home workouts is being able to easily switch up my footwear. I started having some issues with my feet a few years ago. At times it hurts to stand so it is nice to hop on my bike. At other times I might need some type of foot support like a plantar fasciitis brace or even a change of shoes or socks. I have wondered if it is planter fasciitis, but ultimately I don’t think that is it. I have had quite a bit of progress with physical therapy and using some taping. It is nice to know what is out there in case I need further support in the future. 
I am lucky now to have a bike, a decent variety of weights, bands, and a few other things to help the home gym seem a little more like the actual gym. Honestly though nothing can replace the energy of the gym.
I will always be a gym girl at heart, but some of the time it is nice to be able to sleep a little longer and skip the commute to the gym. What about you? What is your favorite way to get in some movement throughout the day?
