I worry we're losing the point of home fitness

Back when I began, it was all about consistency with minimal equipment. These days, I see friends buying expensive machines they rarely use. Are we forgetting that movement is what matters most?

I used to want all the gear too, but now I see the best equipment is just showing up.

My buddy used to obsess over having the perfect camera setup before any trip. He'd research lenses for weeks and almost skipped a sunrise hike waiting for a new filter. Missing that moment totally changed his view on stuff. Your post @bena67 hits that same spot, how being there beats having the fanciest gear any day. Now he just grabs his phone and goes, and his pics are way better because he's actually out there. It's crazy how much we overthink the tools and forget the whole point is to just go do the thing.

Man, that hits hard! Why do you think so many people get stuck in that gear loop, even when they know it's holding them back? Is it just marketing, or some weird idea that the right stuff will magically make us better? I've totally been there, and it just steals the fun.
