i tried to do some things with dumbells. I'm pretty sure my right should is completely fucked up. I can't actually do anything that puts any pressure on it.

Working out so far sucks.

What about going to the gym makes you motivated?

i can imagine many people are going to be going to the gym 5-7 days a week after lockdown is lifted and as summer is nearby I may do so as well

Firstly, weight lifting is more challenging. Secondly, gym is the place associated with the activity. Although, I have somewhat separated the areas I work/rest/workout/eat in my home, walking a meter away to exercise doesn't really help with staying motivated. Not very fond of running, yet I went to the park the other day to accompany my cardio with few exercises, but it was too crowded.

More space, more equipment, easier to focus on why you are there. Going to the gym takes work but once you are there then its absolute paradise. Also the fashion wave of every single girl wearing leggings also helps inbetween sets ;)

Better equipment. Sitting at home sucks. I can do stretches and some mediocre weightlifting but I can't push myself.

I don't have a problem with motivation if I have to lift at home, but I'd have a problem with the lack of equipment. If I had the space and the funds to build a home gym, I don't think motivation would be the problem, tbh. In fact, having to wait on others to finish doing their round on a machine at the gym kinda sucks.

I would of loved to have had a rowing machine at the start of lockdown. So much easier to row in your garden for 30 mins than to get the motivation to go out for a 5K/10K run

Good equipment helps indeed, but gathering the strength to go for a long run or so is tough.
